Super Micro Computer (NASDAQ: SMCI) will replace Walgreens Boots Alliance in the Nasdaq-100 before the market opens on Monday, July 22.
Supermicro has become popular with investors in recent months due to its role in the artificial intelligence (AI) economy. The company joined the S&P 500 (SNPINDEX: ^GSPC) in March, and shares surged 188% during the first half of 2024, outpacing the 150% gain in Nvidia stock.
