Amid a Friday evening news dump, the S&P Dow Jones Indices announced that investment firm KKR & Co Inc (NYSE:KKR), cybersecurity platform CrowdStrike Holdings Inc (NASDAQ:CRWD), and domain marketplace GoDaddy Inc (NYSE:GDDY) will be joining the S&P 500 Index (SPX), effective June 24.

Robert Half International (RHI), Comerica (CMA), and Illumina (ILMN) will leave the index, and are all lower this morning in response. Dell Technologies (DELL) and Palantir Technologies (PLTR) are also lower on the disappointment of not getting added.

CrowdStrike stock is 7.7% higher to trade at $374.21, and earlier hit an all-time high of $383.65. The shares are now 49% higher year-to-date and up 154.7% year-over-year.
