Nasdaq is updating the Nasdaq-100 in its June 2026 quarterly rebalance, with the changes taking effect before the market opens on June 22. The reshuffle brings five companies into the index and removes five others, affecting one of the market's best-known benchmarks for large non-financial technology and growth stocks.

Highlights

  • Nasdaq announced its June 2026 quarterly rebalance of the Nasdaq-100 will be effective before market open on June 22, 2026.
  • Astera Labs, CoreWeave, Nebius Group, Rocket Lab, and Teradyne are being added while Charter Communications, Cognizant Technology Solutions, Insmed, Verisk Analytics, and Zscaler are being removed.
  • Rebalance may impact index-tracking funds and investor positioning as the Nasdaq-100 reflects shifts toward newer technology and growth sector constituents.

June rebalance changes and timing

As announced by Nasdaq, the June 2026 quarterly rebalance of the Nasdaq-100 becomes effective prior to market open on Monday, June 22, 2026. The index operator says Astera Labs, CoreWeave, Nebius Group, Rocket Lab and Teradyne are being added to the benchmark.

At the same time, Charter Communications, Cognizant Technology Solutions, Insmed, Verisk Analytics and Zscaler are being removed from the Nasdaq-100. The update follows Nasdaq's regular quarterly review process for the index.

Benchmark impact on technology investors

The Nasdaq-100 is widely followed as a gauge of large non-financial companies listed on the Nasdaq market, particularly across technology and growth sectors. Changes to its membership can influence index-tracking funds and investor positioning around the effective date.

The latest rebalance highlights shifting weight within the benchmark as newer entrants replace departing constituents. For companies being added, inclusion can raise visibility among institutional investors that use the Nasdaq-100 as a reference index.

Our earlier coverage focused on Senator Elizabeth Warren’s concerns that index providers could revise eligibility rules in ways that speed SpaceX shares into major benchmarks and passive investment products. The piece highlighted the potential impact on retirement savers, warning that accelerated inclusion could lead to automatic purchases by index-tracking funds before investor safeguards are in place.
