SpaceX faces fast Nasdaq-100 jump, putting QQQ investors on alert as chip trade slumps

SpaceX faces fast Nasdaq-100 jump, putting QQQ investors on alert as chip trade slumps

SpaceX’s IPO is expected to make the Elon Musk firm a quick entry into index funds. Rule changes could add the stock to the Nasdaq-100 not long after trading begins. This could impact investors in the Invesco QQQ Trust, since it tracks the Nasdaq-100 and might offer quicker access to SpaceX if the company goes public. Reuters said MSCI will use early-inclusion rules for big IPOs, and Nasdaq has loosened its own rules, which could let new giants join the Nasdaq-100 sooner.

Lululemon Stock (LULU) After Hours Today (Dec. 15, 2025): Price Action, Nasdaq-100 Exit, and What to Watch Before Tuesday’s Open

Lululemon athletica inc. finished Monday’s session modestly higher—and then barely budged in after-hours trading—leaving investors focused less on tonight’s tape and more on two bigger drivers heading into Tuesday’s open: index-related flows tied to Lululemon’s upcoming Nasdaq-100 removal and a data-heavy U.S. macro morning that could swing consumer discretionary stocks. LULU shares closed at $206.29 and were slightly lower after hours at $206.20 as of early evening trading, a quiet “after the bell” snapshot that suggests the market is still digesting last week’s earnings/leadership reset—and repricing what comes next.
