There are a myriad of upside catalysts investors look to as reasons to buy stocks. Whether it's an earnings beat, or a big announcement, or something like a stock split or index inclusion, there are plenty of reasons why a given stock may be viewed as a buy.
The inverse is also true, and index exclusions (or being taken out of a key index) can be viewed as the kiss of death for companies that many view as blue-chip or ironclad. One such company that's risen to prominence in impressive fashion in recent years is Strategy (MSTR), formerly MicroStrategy. However, concerns around the company being delisted from the Nasdaq have been alleviated, following the key index's announcement of its annual reconstitution of the Nasdaq-100 Index.
