# Interactive Brokers enters the S&P 500, replacing Walgreens Boots Alliance, while Robinhood is out again

S&P Dow Jones Indices announced on Monday that it will add Interactive Brokers to the S&P 500 index at the opening of U.S. markets on Thursday. **Interactive Brokers will replace Walgreens Boots Alliance (WBA), which is set to be privatized by Sycamore Partners.**

Following the announcement, **Interactive Brokers' stock price surged nearly 8% in after-hours trading**, before narrowing to about 4%. The stock has doubled in the past year and has risen 42% year-to-date. WBA saw a slight increase of 0.5% in after-hours trading.

**Meanwhile, shares of brokerage firm Robinhood fell slightly in after-hours trading.** Some investors had hoped that Robinhood would be included in the S&P 500 index. Robinhood's stock has risen nearly 190% since the beginning of the year, with a market capitalization approaching $96 billion.

Previously, on July 23, Jack Dorsey's fintech company Block was added to the S&P 500 index, highlighting the growing influence of digital payments and cryptocurrencies in mainstream finance, while the much-anticipated Robinhood was left out. Earlier, during the routine quarterly adjustment of the S&P 500 index in June, Robinhood was also not included when Ansys was removed from the index.

S&P Dow Jones Indices also stated that on the same Thursday, Talen Energy will take the place of Interactive Brokers in the S&P MidCap 400 index. The stock price of this independent power producer rose over 3% in after-hours trading following the announcement. With the acceleration of electrification and the rise of AI data centers, Talen is seen as a beneficiary of increasing electricity demand, with its stock price up 76% year-to-date.

Additionally, on September 2, Kinetik Holdings will replace Pacific Premier Bancorp in the S&P SmallCap 600 index. Pacific Premier Bancorp is set to be acquired by Columbia Banking System
