Marvell Technology and Flex Ltd. will be added to the S&P 500 index. Marvell's stock rebounded 6% after-hours following a 16.74% intraday decline amid broader market weakness.

Marvell Technology, a semiconductor company supplying critical components for AI infrastructure, has secured a spot in the S&P 500. Flex Ltd., a major contract electronics manufacturer, will also join the index. The index inclusion typically signals investor confidence and often triggers buying from passive funds that track the S&P 500. Marvell's stock swung sharply today—closing down 16.74% amid a broader market sell-off before climbing 6% in after-hours trading. Marvell manufactures data center processors and other semiconductor products essential to AI server buildouts. The company has benefited from surging demand for AI infrastructure, though today's intraday decline reflects broader equity market volatility. The S&P 500 additions take effect on specified dates following the announcement. Index inclusion typically improves liquidity and can attract institutional investors required to hold S&P 500 constituents.
