Inclusion in major stock market indices such as the S&P 500, Nasdaq 100, and the Dow Jones Industrial Average (DJIA) tend to have a significant positive impact for the companies as they provide increased visibility, better media coverage, more inclusion in index funds, and other similar benefits.
To ensure that the indices correctly reflect the state of the economy, they get periodically rebalanced and the next one to be adjusted is the S&P 500, scheduled for after the markets close on Friday, June 21.
Given the impact of the changes, Finbold decided to take a look at the stocks likely to benefit from them this quarter.
