Investing.com -- Shares of Expand Energy (NYSE:EXE) climbed 1.6% in pre-open trading on Monday, following the announcement that the company will be joining the S&P 500, replacing FMC Corp . (NYSE:FMC). The inclusion into the index is set to take effect prior to the opening of trading on Monday, March 24, aligning with the quarterly rebalance of the S&P 500.

The adjustment to the index is designed to ensure that it more accurately reflects the market capitalization range it represents. With this move, Expand Energy is recognized as more representative of the large-cap market space, a factor that typically leads to an uptick in stock price as inclusion in the S&P 500 often results in increased demand for the stock from index funds and other investment vehicles that track the index.

The S&P 500 is widely regarded as one of the best single gauges for large-cap U.S. equities. A company’s addition to the index is seen as a milestone, signifying its growth and stability to investors. For Expand Energy, this move may result in a broader investor base and increased liquidity for its shares.

The stock’s positive response in pre-market trading indicates investor optimism regarding the company’s new status within the S&P 500. It is common for stocks to experience a surge in both volume and price upon the news of their addition to major indices, as institutional investors adjust their portfolios to include the new entrants.

Expand Energy’s inclusion in the S&P 500 is a reflection of its sustained market performance and growing influence in the large-cap market segment. This development is expected to attract further attention from the investment community as the company gains prominence on a widely-followed index.
