Nasdaq is considering introducing a "fast entry" rule to accelerate the inclusion of newly listed large companies. The proposed amendment would allow newly listed firms to join the Nasdaq-100 Index after just 15 trading days, significantly shorter than the current waiting period of at least three months. This move aims to make the index more reflective of the market in a timely manner. In the current environment, enterprises often delay their listings for years, and once they enter the public market, they release substantial market capitalization. Companies expected to go public this year include SpaceX, which could reach a potential valuation of $1.3 trillion, making it one of the largest companies by market value in the Nasdaq-100 Index. The "fast entry" rule is part of an industry consultation proposal, with discussions expected to conclude later this month. If approved by the Nasdaq Index Committee after the consultation period, the adjustment will take effect following the quarterly rebalancing in March.
