S&P Dow Jones Indices has decided to maintain its profitability requirement for companies seeking inclusion in the S&P 500 index. This decision will likely delay the entry of major companies like SpaceX, OpenAI, and Anthropic, which are currently not profitable. While other indexes like the Nasdaq 100 have relaxed their rules to accommodate these tech giants, the S&P 500's stance means these companies may have to wait several years, potentially until 2028 for SpaceX, to meet the criteria.
