Analysis: S & P 500 may reject MSTR inclusion, final decision depends on committee discretion

The S & P 500 selection committee met yesterday to discuss Strategy (formerly MicroStrategy). Many investors expect that when the committee announces its decision on Friday, Strategy's common stock MSTR will be included in the S & P 500 index, but the approval is not on the board DingTalk.
Michael Saylor's company, which owns $96 billion in bitcoin assets, appears to have met all the criteria for inclusion in the S & P Dow Jones Indices, but there is still one hurdle. In the final stage of the process, an undisclosed committee will manually review the final list.
Whether or not to enter the S & P 500 index has complete discretion. The committee has the final say and does not need to explain the refusal. Tesla, for example, has met the technical criteria months ago, but its application for inclusion has suffered a long and unexplained delay. So the reason why MSTR may not be able to join the S & P 500 this Friday may ultimately depend solely on human discretion.
The S & P U.S. Index Committee is independent of the Averages Committee that manages the Dow Jones Industries Average Index, and its members are senior analysts at S & P Dow Jones Indices, which is jointly owned by CME Group and S & P Global.
Dow Jones Indices has not disclosed the names of the members of its averages committee and the U.S. index committee to prevent financial or social lobbying.
