The Nasdaq-100 Is Getting 5 New Members. Here's the List.

Five companies join the Nasdaq-100 on June 22, 2026: Astera Labs (ALAB), CoreWeave (CRWV), Nebius Group (NBIS), Teradyne (TER), and Rocket Lab (RKLB). All five have posted year-to-date gains between 53% and 242%, massively outpacing broader indices. Four of the additions—Astera Labs, CoreWeave, Nebius, and Teradyne—operate in AI infrastructure, networking, and computing capacity. Rocket Lab is a space platform company.

Index inclusion typically triggers forced buying from passive funds tracking the Nasdaq-100, which manages hundreds of billions in assets. The June 22 rebalancing date creates a defined catalyst for potential price action as index funds adjust their holdings. The selection reinforces the index's tilt toward AI and infrastructure plays, with four of the five names directly exposed to data center buildout and AI compute demand.

The performance spread—53% to 242% year-to-date—signals varied momentum across the group, though all five have significantly outperformed the Nasdaq-100's own 2026 gains.
