MicroStrategy S&P 500 unlikely anytime soon
Despite MicroStrategy’s strong performance, the company is unlikely to be added to the S&P 500 index soon, according to market participants.
An S&P 500 listing is “probably not” coming anytime soon, Seoyoung Kim, associate professor of finance at Santa Clara University’s Leavey School of Business, told Cointelegraph.
What is concerning for MicroStrategy is that a candidate for listing on the S&P 500 must have been profitable in the most recent year and quarter to qualify.
According to Kim, “MicroStrategy has consistently seen a negative bottom line,” with the exception of the fourth quarter of 2023, “which was insufficient to bring it to an overall positive net income.”
