Flex joins the S&P 500 — index fund buying spree incoming
Electronics manufacturer Flex Ltd. is officially joining the S&P 500 index today, meaning large index funds must buy the stock.
Idea
When a company gets added to a major index like the S&P 500, massive index-tracking funds are forced to buy its stock to match the benchmark. This forced buying often creates a temporary supply-and-demand imbalance that pushes the stock's price up. You can trade this momentum ahead of the full index fund rebalancing.
