Yahoo Finance senior columnist Kerry Hannon spoke with Delagify’s Robert Persichitte for a June 2026 column on what SpaceX’s volatile market debut means for everyday 401(k) savers.
After SpaceX’s June IPO, index-rule changes let the stock into broad-market and Nasdaq-100 index funds within days. The result: many retirement savers now own a small slice of it through their 401(k)—often without realizing it.
You are picking strategies, not stocks. If that strategy includes SpaceX, it might still be appropriate, even if you don’t like individual stocks in that strategy.
