Why it may matterVerify against the original reporting
Dow inclusion typically triggers passive fund buying and index-tracking demand, often causing a short-term price uptick for the added stock. The effect tends to be modest and fades as flows normalize, but can provide an initial lift around the rebalance window, particularly for GOOG given its size and liquidity.
