S&P Dow Jones Indices Announces Update to S&P Composite 1500 Market Cap Guidelines
S&P Dow Jones Indices Announces Update to S&P Composite 1500 Market Cap Guidelines
NEW YORK, July 1, 2025 /PRNewswire/ — S&P Dow Jones Indices (“S&P DJI”) is updating the market capitalization eligibility criteria for additions to the S&P Composite 1500 Indices. Effective July 1, 2025, the size ranges will be updated as follows:
Previous Market Capitalization Eligibility Criteria
Updated Market Capitalization Eligibility Criteria
Unadjusted company market capitalization of:
• US$ 20.5 billion or more for the S&P 500
• US$ 7.4 billion to US$ 20.5 billion for the S&P
MidCap 400• US$ 1.1 billion to US$ 7.4 billion for the S&P
SmallCap 600Unadjusted company market capitalization of:
• US$ 22.7 billion or more for the S&P 500
• US$ 8.0 billion to US$ 22.7 billion for the S&P
MidCap 400• US$ 1.2 billion to US$ 8.0 billion for the S&P
SmallCap 600These market capitalization ranges are reviewed at the beginning of every calendar quarter, updated as needed to ensure they reflect current market conditions, and expressed in dollar ranges. These minimum market capitalization guidelines are designed to capture the three-month average cumulative total company level market capitalization of the S&P Total Market Index (“TMI”) universe at approximately the following cumulative percentiles:
- S&P 500 – 85th percentile
- S&P MidCap 400 index – 85th-93rd percentile
- S&P SmallCap 600 index – 93rd-99th percentile
Companies passing the total company-level market capitalization criteria must also have a security level float-adjusted market capitalization (FMC) that is at least 50% of the respective index’s total company-level minimum market capitalization threshold.
As a reminder, the market capitalization eligibility criteria are for additions to an index, not for continued membership. As a result, an index constituent that appears to violate criteria for addition to that index is not removed unless ongoing conditions warrant an index change.
A history of market cap ranges dating back to 2007 can be found in Appendix A of the U.S. Indices methodology. The U.S. Indices methodology document will be updated soon to reflect the changes. Please visit our website www.spglobal.com/spdji for further details.

MSR, Felix Rosenqvist Gaining Confidence, Climbing Into Series Elite
For Felix Rosenqvist and Meyer Shank Racing w/Curb-Agajanian, the 2025 NTT INDYCAR SERIES season has delivered something valuable: confidence.
When confidence is backed by results, that is a powerful thing.
With a determined second-place finish in the XPEL Grand Prix at Road America Presented by AMR on June 22, Rosenqvist delivered the fastest race lap and surged from sixth in points into fourth in the championship standings.
Rosenqvist trails Chip Ganassi Racing driver and two-time defending series champion Alex Palou by 155 points with eight races remaining in the season.
Fourth is the best position Rosenqvist has been this deep into an NTT INDYCAR SERIES season and a clear sign MSR is no longer building – it is competing.
“I feel like we’ve definitely taken it to the next step,” Rosenqvist said. “We’re sitting pretty good.”
Entering the 2024 season, Rosenqvist’s first with MSR after spending two years with Chip Ganassi Racing (2019-20) and three at Arrow McLaren (2021-23), few would have predicted this kind of rise. In 2023, MSR’s No. 60 Honda finished a distant 25th in the entrant standings.
Also, both had produced one career win, Rosenqvist in 2020 at Road America and MSR in the 2021 Indianapolis 500, where Helio Castroneves earned his record-tying fourth victory in the iconic race.
But after their first season together in 2024, the No. 60 driven by Rosenqvist catapulted to 12th in points, a leap no other car matched.
The positive results continued this season with six top-10 finishes in the first nine races.
“There’s some really smart people on the team,” Rosenqvist said. “I feel like it’s a confidence thing, as well. Everyone’s just more relaxed. The pit crew is happier. It’s just a big confidence boost, and I think that’s what’s really been missing.”
Rosenqvist’s Road America podium two weeks ago also didn’t come amid smooth sailing but after a turbulent stretch. A sign of improvement.
Rosenqvist placed 21st in the Chevrolet Detroit Grand Prix presented by Lear on June 1, a race marred by a wild crash in the closing laps with rookie Louis Foster, which forced a complete rebuild of the car.
Then, a 16th-place finish in the Bommarito Automotive Group 500 presented by Axalta and Valvoline at World Wide Technology Raceway followed on June 15, capping a brutal six weeks of racing that included the gauntlet of the Sonsio Grand Prix and 109th Running of the Indianapolis 500, in addition to the Barber Motorsports Park race weekend that opened May.
“Behind the scenes, we’ve had a lot of technical stuff going on,” he said. “We had to split the car apart (after Detroit crash) and build it back together. This stretch had been wearing on the guys. It’s hard. This is a really tough championship for everyone.”
Last season, a similar midyear slump derailed what began as a promising campaign. After producing six top-10 finishes in the first seven events, Rosenqvist managed one more in the final 11 events.
This time, when exhausted and battered, MSR didn’t break. It rebounded.
In a season dominated by powerhouse duos Chip Ganassi Racing and Andretti Global, which have won all nine races thus far, Meyer Shank Racing’s climb into the top five of points is one of many compelling developments.
MSR and Rosenqvist proved they can run and belong with the best the sport has to offer.
The next step to gain is to become a winner, which Rosenqvist believes he and the team can deliver.
“We’re always quick, so it’s all about the details,” he said.
Maybe that comes in Sunday’s Honda Indy 200 at Mid-Ohio Presented by the All-New 2026 Passport (1 p.m. ET, FOX, FOX Sports app, INDYCAR Radio Network). The Mid-Ohio Sports Car Course is a track that carries personal and professional significance to Rosenqvist.
Not only is Mid-Ohio the place where Rosenqvist earned his first podium in a photo finish with Scott Dixon as a rookie in 2019, it’s also the home track for MSR, which is headquartered in nearby Pataskala, Ohio, approximately 75 miles from the track.
“I love Mid-Ohio,” Rosenqvist said. “Honestly, Road America and Mid-Ohio are two of my favorites. Mid-Ohio, I had my first podium, and I had my first win at Road America (in 2020).
“I can’t wait to go back to Mid-Ohio. I don’t just say that because it’s like a home race. I literally love that place. A lot of fans come there, the track layout, it’s just a really cool race. True race car fans.”

Argentina defeats El Salvador, strengthens its position in Group A
SANTIAGO (Chile) – Argentina (2-2) needed a win to secure its place in the next stage of the FIBA Women’s AmeriCup 2025, and it delivered by defeating El Salvador (0-3) 76-57. With the result, the South American team, which has now completed all its games in the Group Phase, is locked in at least third place in Group A.
Turning point
El Salvador briefly took a 28-27 lead after a jump shot by Hillary Martínez with 2:31 left in the second quarter, but Argentina responded with an 11-0 run sparked by the hot hand of Macarena D’urso (8 points and 2 three-pointers) to go into halftime up 38-28.
In the second half, Argentina maintained its tempo and took good care of the ball to keep control of the scoreboard. A layup by Candela Gentinetta made it 69-54 with just 1:39 left in the game, putting an end to El Salvador’s hopes of a comeback.
Player of the game
Argentina’s head coach, Gregorio Martínez, opted to rest veteran center Agostina Burani. In her absence, fellow post player Diana Cabrera stepped up and delivered, leading the team with a double-double of 14 points and 15 rebounds.
D’urso added 11 points, including three triples, while Andrea Boquete followed with 10 points and a pair of three-pointers. Melisa Gretter— who became the AmeriCup’s all-time assists leader (since 2003) in the previous game— dished out 8 more assists, while also scoring 5 points and grabbing 6 rebounds.
For El Salvador, Martínez posted 18 points and 8 rebounds, and Kimberly Villalobos recorded another double-double with 14 points, 13 rebounds, and 5 assists.
Stats don’t lie
Argentina hit 11 three-pointers compared to just two by El Salvador, but perhaps the most notable stat was the 24 assists with only 6 turnovers, a stark contrast to El Salvador’s 10 assists and 12 turnovers.
The Argentine bench also played a key role, contributing 31 points to just seven from El Salvador’s reserves.
Bottom line
Argentina will have Wednesday off and rest for 48 hours before playing its Quarter-Final matchup on Friday against an opponent yet to be determined. El Salvador, already eliminated, will close out group play on Wednesday against the reigning champions, Brazil.
They said
“I’m happy with what I did, but it was tough at first. In the second half, we were able to settle into our game more and took better, more comfortable shots. Now we’re focused on what’s next,” said Cabrera after her team’s important win.

What Modern Parents Regret About Today’s Digital World for Their Kids
Sometimes you can’t help but wonder if life would’ve been simpler for kids without all this technology floating around them. It’s not that parents hate all of it, some of it’s useful, but you know, there’s this feeling, this small wish sitting quietly at the back of their minds. What if some things just… weren’t there?Parents these days, they’ve seen their kids grow up surrounded by screens, apps buzzing all the time, and platforms that keep pulling them in. It’s not something older generations ever had to figure out. You get the sense that a lot of parents are just trying to keep up, while also wondering if maybe, just maybe, their children would’ve had an easier time without some of these things crowding their world.
Actually, when asked what they wish had never been invented, many parents didn’t hesitate. It wasn’t even close. The thing they wanted gone most? Online adult content. In a recent survey conducted by TheHarrisPoll, over seven out of ten parents felt life would’ve been much better for their children if that part of the internet had simply never existed. Hard to argue with them on that one.
But it didn’t stop there. Social media, in general, made a lot of parents uncomfortable. More than half wanted it out of their children’s lives. If you dig a little deeper, TikTok and X (what people used to call Twitter) were right up there, about six in ten parents would’ve gladly erased both. Instagram didn’t get much love either. More than half would’ve preferred it gone.
Then there’s the whole messaging app thing. At first glance, it seems harmless enough, right? Just texting, chatting. But nearly half the parents wished those apps weren’t part of their kids’ childhood either. It’s probably about the constant connection, that thing where kids can’t really put their phones down anymore. Speaking of phones, yeah, smartphones themselves weren’t off the hook. About four out of ten parents wanted to ditch those too. There’s this sense that smartphones made it harder for kids to just… be kids.
Video games came up as well. Some parents were okay with them, but still, about a third thought life would’ve been better without them. And surprisingly, the internet itself wasn’t completely safe from this list. Around three in ten parents would’ve preferred a world where the internet didn’t follow their kids everywhere they went.
Even streaming services, which most families use all the time now, raised some concerns. About one in five parents would’ve liked to skip those too. Funny enough, television, the old-school one that’s been around forever, still made the list. Not a huge number, but about one in six parents thought their children would’ve been better off without it.
In a way, it’s like parents are standing there watching this flood of technology sweep through childhood, and they’re not sure what to keep and what to wish away. Some tools help, sure, but deep down, a lot of them seem to carry this quiet wish, that their children could’ve grown up a little less connected, a little more free.

Yemen’s Houthi group claims missile strike on Israel’s Ben Gurion airport-Xinhua
ADEN, Yemen, July 1 (Xinhua) — Yemen’s Houthi group on Tuesday claimed responsibility for launching a ballistic missile targeting Ben Gurion Airport in central Israel.
In a televised statement broadcast by the Houthi-run al-Masirah TV, the group’s military spokesperson Yahya Sarea said they had “carried out a special military operation targeting Ben Gurion Airport in Tel Aviv using a hypersonic ballistic missile of the Palestine-2 type.”
According to Sarea, the missile strike “successfully achieved its goal” by forcing “millions of settlers into shelters and disrupting airport operations.”
Sarea also claimed that a wave of one-way unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) attacks targeted what he described as “three sensitive sites” in Eilat, Tel Aviv, and Ashkelon.
The Houthi spokesperson reiterated the group’s position that it would continue military operations “in support of the Palestinian people” until Israel halts its military actions in Gaza.
In a statement released earlier in the day, the Israeli military said Houthi forces fired a missile toward Israel, triggering air raid sirens in central and southern parts of the country before it was intercepted. No injuries were reported.
Israeli Defense Minister Israel Katz vowed on Tuesday to retaliate against Yemen’s Houthi forces after the missile attack.
Since November 2023, the Houthi group has launched multiple missile and drone attacks against Israel, asserting these actions are in solidarity with Palestinians in the besieged enclave. The group, which controls much of northern Yemen, has aligned itself politically and militarily with the Palestinian people during the ongoing hostilities between Israel and Hamas.
In response to the attacks, Israel has conducted airstrikes on key infrastructure in Houthi-controlled areas of Yemen, targeting energy facilities and military sites. These retaliatory strikes have resulted in significant casualties and material damage, according to local Yemeni officials. ■
