S&P Dow Jones Indices (SPGI) conducted a consultation with market participants on potential changes to the S&P U.S. Indices Methodology and Dow Jones U.S. Total Stock Market Indices Methodology related to MegaCap companies. As part of proposed changes, the company proposed, "Initial public offerings should be traded on an eligible exchange for at least 12 months before being considered for addition to an index. Spin-offs or in-specie distributions from existing constituents are not required to have 12 months of trading prior to their inclusion in the S&P Composite 1500. Companies that migrate from an ineligible exchange, emerge from bankruptcy, are newly designated to be domiciled in the U.S. for index purposes by S&P Dow Jones Indices, or convert from an ineligible share or organizational type to an eligible type do not need to trade on an eligible U.S. exchange for 12 months before being considered for addition." Space stocks including Intuitive Machines (LUNR) and Rocket Lab (RKLB) were trading lower in after-hours following the news, as the proposal would deny SpaceX (SPCX) early inclusion.
