Separately, Vistra Corp. (VST) will replace AES Corp. (AES) in the Dow Jones Utility Average on Nov. 8. Vistra, the S&P 500’s top performer in 2024, reports earnings next week. VST stock initially edged higher but fell 3.9% amid after-hours losses in nuclear-related plays.

Meanwhile, Chewy (CHWY) will replace Stericycle (SRCL) in the S&P MidCap 400 before the open on Wednesday, Nov. 6. Waste Management (WM) is about to close its Stericycle takeover.

Chewy stock jumped 5.1% Friday night.

Nvidia’s Dow Entrance Long-Speculated

Nvidia joining the Dow Jones has been speculated for several months, as the AI chip leader skyrocketed. In June, Nvidia stock split 10-for-1, heightening Dow Jones buzz. The price-weighted Dow doesn’t want high-priced stocks that swing the indexes with modest percentage moves.
