The best-performing new S&P 500 company of 2024 is Palantir Technologies, a growing AI and data analytics company.
Palantir shares climbed 340% overall in 2024 as demand for its software grew significantly. One of its largest clients is the U.S. military, which recently awarded the company a $400 million four-year contract.
Meanwhile, the worst-performing S&P 500 entrant is Super Micro Computer, which started 2024 with a massive rally but then ran into regulatory troubles. Many are speculating that Super Micro could soon be delisted from the S&P 500.
The Benefits of S&P 500 Inclusion
The S&P 500 is one of the most widely followed indices in the world, and being added to it can provide companies with powerful advantages.
One advantage is increased visibility and investor recognition, which could help a company raise capital more easily in the future.
Another advantage is greater demand for shares. When a company is added to the S&P 500, mutual funds and ETFs that track the index must buy shares to stay in compliance with their mandate.
According to VettaFi, the world’s three largest S&P 500 ETFs have a combined assets under management (AUM) of nearly $1.8 trillion.
