One of the companies that has quietly delivered one of the best performances in the market this year is Ferrovial SE (FER). The stock is up over 60% this year, which is a significantly better performance than most major indices. It will soon be added to the Nasdaq 100 Index ($NASX) when the index is rebalanced on Dec. 22. Such a moment is significant for a lesser-known stock.
Being part of the Nasdaq 100 is important since it supports over $600 billion in assets worldwide. Being added to this index can therefore lead to increased demand through passive investment, enhanced liquidity, and increased awareness. As a company with a business model based on infrastructure and longevity rather than hype, this spotlight can prove critical.
