SpaceX was finally selected as the launch service provider for NASA's StarBurst satellite, but the stock price of related exchange-traded funds (ETFs) fell by more than 2%. While expectations for a massive inflow of passive buying due to an increased weighting in the US Nasdaq 100 index are rising, short-term profit-taking appears to have occurred.

According to Coingape on September 19 (local time), the stock price of SPCX, an investment vehicle for SpaceX, fell by more than 2% to the $151.50 level, despite the positive news of a government contract. The US National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) officially selected SpaceX's Falcon 9 rocket, led by Elon Musk, as the launch vehicle for the StarBurst satellite mission. This successive acquisition of national space projects is seen as further proof of SpaceX's unparalleled technological prowess and competitive commercial launch infrastructure.

Apart from the contract achievements, the market's attention is focused on the potential for massive capital inflow due to index rebalancing. The financial investment industry predicts that up to $22 billion in stock buying funds could flow in due to the planned upward adjustment of SpaceX's weighting in the Nasdaq 100 index. As mechanical weighting increases by passive tracking funds are anticipated, the mid-to-long-term supply and demand conditions are analyzed to be very robust.

The stock price decline is interpreted as a result of the combination of the short-term dissipation of a major positive catalyst and profit-taking pressure following the announcement of good news. Even amidst short-term volatility across the aerospace sector, SpaceX's position as a national key infrastructure provider remains unshaken. The question of whether institutional investors will make additional purchases ahead of the large-scale capital inflow schedule is considered a key variable that will drive stock price recovery.

SpaceX's fundamentals are solid, as it has monopolized the private space transportation market by taking on key missions for the U.S. government. With the inflow of $22 billion in passive funds due to index inclusion and the full reflection of commercial satellite launch performance, the stock's additional rebound momentum is expected to revive.
