  • SpaceX Shares Fall as Nvidia Gains; Nasdaq-100 Index Inclusion Debate Resurfaces
    June 19, 2026, 5:21 PM EDT. SpaceX shares dropped 3.6% to $185, while Nvidia rose 3.0% to $210.69 amid markets closed for Juneteenth. Nvidia's market valuation is approximately $5.14 trillion, more than double SpaceX's $2.4 trillion. SpaceX remains outside the Nasdaq-100 index, limiting passive fund purchases tracking this benchmark. Nvidia benefits from strong AI-driven growth, reporting an 85% revenue jump to $81.6 billion last quarter, guiding $91 billion next quarter. SpaceX reported $18.7 billion revenue but a $4.9 billion net loss in 2025. Analysts highlight index inclusion rules and trading volatility linked to SpaceX's small free float and meme-stock-like behavior. Early investors appear to be taking profits after SpaceX's 37% increase since its $135 IPO price.
