Being included in the S 500 index is often a bullish sign for a stock. Once a company becomes part of the S 500, investors who purchase exchange-traded funds (ETFs) that track the index will also effectively be buying shares of that company's stock. In turn, that tends to increase demand and send its share price higher. Being part of the S 500 is also a prestigious distinction, and it can bolster the appeal of a still relatively little-known company, such as Supermicro.
