HOOD — S&P 500 index addition

Robinhood Markets (HOOD) entered the S&P 500 at the close on Sep 22, 2025, replacing Caesars Entertainment. The recorded announcement came 17 calendar days before the effective close, on Sep 5, 2025. The company is classified in Financials in this dataset. The same ticker also appears in the tracked Nasdaq-100 addition register. That record alone does not establish a transfer between indexes.

In the 30 calendar days leading into the effective close, HOOD moved +18.0%. The median 30-day run-up among the 25 S&P 500 entries with a recorded announcement and prices for that interval was +16.9%; this stock was 1.1 percentage points above that median. Measured from the effective close, HOOD returned 1W: +3.4% versus +0.3% for the 28-entry index median; 1M: +10.2% versus +2.2% for the 28-entry index median; 3M: +18.6% versus +5.2% for the 28-entry index median. These figures do not measure movement from the announcement price.

At 1M, it ranks 5th of 28 measured S&P 500 additions and beat the benchmark by 7.7 percentage points. At 3M, it ranks 6th of 28 measured S&P 500 additions and beat the benchmark by 13.8 percentage points. The 1Y window ends on Sep 22, 2026; a result needs a usable close. The other 6 Financials additions with a measured 1M return averaged -1.1%. This is historical context, not a projection.
