SpaceX and Other Major IPOs Face Long Wait for S&P 500 Inclusion

SpaceX and a handful of other high-profile IPO prospects might find themselves on the sidelines for years regarding inclusion in the S&P 500. This delay comes as S&P Dow Jones Indices has reaffirmed its profitability criteria for companies aiming to join the prestigious index.

Despite their staggering market valuations, firms like SpaceX, OpenAI, and Anthropic will need to showcase consistent profitability to qualify for the benchmark. The current requirement underscores the challenges facing even the most promising startups in achieving this significant milestone.
