Why it may matterVerify against the original reporting

Index inclusion typically triggers passive buying by ETFs/funds tracking the Nasdaq-100, often causing near-term price strength; historical analogs show funds rebalancing can drive solid inflows around additions. However, valuation skepticism can cap gains if fundamentals fail to catch up.
