Dell and Palantir both jumped about 7% in extended trading Friday after S&P Global announced that the companies would join the S&P 500 index.

Software maker Palantir will take the place of American Airlines, and Dell is replacing Etsy, according to a statement. Shares of companies added to the benchmark often rally after the announcement because fund managers who track the index regularly update their portfolios to mirror the additions.

For Dell, the announcement marks a return to the benchmark index. The computer and server maker was a constituent from 1996 to 2013, when founder Michael Dell and private equity firm Silver Lake took the company private. Dell went public again in 2018.

Super Micro Computer, which competes with Dell in selling servers for artificial intelligence workloads, joined the S&P 500 earlier this year following a historic rally in the stock that has pushed the company’s market cap past $50 billion. Its value has since been sliced in half.

After operating as a venture-backed startup for more than 15 years, Palantir went public on the New York Stock Exchange in 2020, and in the fourth quarter of 2022, the company started posting profits. In the second quarter, Palantir’s net income totaled $135.6 million, up from $27.9 million in the same period a year earlier. Annual revenue growth has accelerated for four quarters in a row.

Palantir co-founder and CEO Alex Karp has gained a reputation for promoting patriotism in tech, helping the government and military agencies manage their data. He recently told The New York Times that Palantir is engaged in “the finding of hidden things.”

To join the S&P 500, a company must have reported a profit in its latest quarter and have cumulative profit over the four most recent quarters.

“My interest in profitability is for obvious reasons, but it’s also, I think, we’ll just be in a much stronger position as it becomes clear that we qualify for participation in S&P,” Karp told analysts on a conference call in May 2023.

Dell has been profitable almost every quarter since 2019. The stock jumped 90% in 2023, and was up 33% this year before the rebalancing announcement. Growth has been driven by sales of servers containing Nvidia graphics processing units that can handle AI workloads. Dell told investors Aug. 29 that it saw $3.2 billion in AI server demand in the quarter ended Aug. 2, up 23% from the prior quarter.

Cybersecurity vendor CrowdStrike was added to the index during the previous rebalancing, in June.

The additions are a better reflection of U.S. stocks with high market capitalizations, S&P Global said. The median market cap of companies in the index is about $33.5 billion. Palantir has a market cap of over $67 billion, while Dell is valued at over $72 billion.

Shares of another software maker, Workday, were down 2% after hours. In an early Friday email, the Bank of America trading desk named Workday among its top candidates for S&P inclusion, alongside Palantir.
