SpaceX's volatility will decline over the long term as passive index investors buy and hold the stock as part of their index fund allocations.
Too little corroboration in the last 3 days to call a trend (1 article). Watching for it to gain traction.
Some analysts argue that once SpaceX is embedded in index funds, the natural behavior of long-term passive investors — buying and holding through market cycles — will gradually dampen the stock's volatility over time. The thesis rests on the idea that index fund ownership dilutes the influence of speculative short-term traders who currently drive the stock's wide price swings.
The shift of a volatile asset into passive ownership structures tends to smooth its price behavior over time because index investors are largely insensitive to short-term price signals, reducing the reactive trading that sustains elevated volatility in earlier stages of a stock's lifecycle.
"Arguably that would mean over the long term, SpaceX volatility should come down, as long-term-minded investors buy and hold index funds and their constituents."
