Rule changes for the SpaceX $SPCX IPO: Index providers waived the profitability requirement and cut the seasoning window from 90 days to 5. This forces over $30 trillion in passive 401k and retirement money to buy SpaceX at IPO valuations. Bloomberg Intelligence estimates S&P

I think "Aerospace and defense" was considered one category... is SpaceX doing anything that is haram? They will probably be included in SPUS at some point, but we'll see
I'm aso interested in sharia-compliant AFAIK they skew away from debt-ridden companies, making their lists, in theory, more robust.
The SPUS outperformance story is interesting because excluding financials and defense actually mimics a quality tilt. SpaceX being non-compliant could ironically make the ETF more conservative at a good time.
the honest answer is that corporations haven't solved this and aren't sure anyone will have to either, new regulations emerge or they get exempt by default
