Now, index institutions and fund managers are tied together because of the controversial IPO of SpaceX. The company is currently still in a significant loss-making state, and has strict governance restrictions on shareholders. According to the usual trend of IPOs, new stocks often tend to break within months of listing. If SpaceX's stock price falls, the negative impact may spread to the entire index component sector. Industry insiders are also worried that this IPO is too large, with hidden risks. Shelley, CEO of the IPO consulting firm Issuer Network, who has been involved in the listing consultation work of companies such as Facebook and ARM, bluntly stated that drastically shortening the index inclusion cycle, once SpaceX or other fast-tracked new stocks list and fall, is likely to drag down other stocks within the index. "Compressing the rules to such an extreme is simply asking for trouble, the risk is very high." At the same time, SpaceX is leaning towards retail investors with a large number of shares, and the trading behavior of retail investors is more difficult to predict than that of institutional investors. The risk of drastic price fluctuations increases, which could also lead to a downturn in overall market sentiment.
