DoorDash, TKO Group, Williams-Sonoma, Expand Energy to Join S&P 500
Key Takeaways
Food-delivery giant DoorDash ( DASH ) and three other firms are being added to the S&P 500 Index in two weeks.
S&P Global, which oversees the index, announced that along with DoorDash, WWE parent TKO Group Holdings ( TKO ), Williams-Sonoma ( WSM ), and Expand Energy ( EXE ) will be joining the prestigious list prior to the start of trading on March 24.
The four companies will be replacing Borgwarner ( BWA ), Teleflex ( TFX ), Celanese ( CE ), and FMC ( FMC ).
The moves were part of the index's quarterly rebalancing. S&P Global explained that the new firms coming in "are more representative of the large-cap market space."
Being part of the S&P 500 can be advantageous to the included stocks, because it exposes them to a wider group of investors who could become aware of a company through an index, plus they can be added to various index funds that track stocks added to the measures.
DoorDash shares edged 0.5% lower soon after markets opened Monday. Shares of TKO Group were down more than 1%, while those of Williams-Sonoma and Expand Energy were up 0.4% and 1%, respectively.
