Dow Jones futures steady as Astera, Bloom Energy and Tesla rebound; SpaceX shares fall ahead of Nasdaq-100 entry

Stocks tied to artificial-intelligence infrastructure rose in early trading, while SpaceX slid as its Nasdaq-100 inclusion approached. Tesla was among the notable gainers.

Futures tied to the Dow Jones Industrial Average traded little changed ahead of Tuesday’s open, as investors rotated back into select “AI picks and shovels” and high-profile growth names. Monday’s tape showed broad interest in companies positioned to profit from data-center buildouts, with Astera Labs, Bloom Energy and Tesla all marked higher.

Astera Labs, a supplier of connectivity and data movement technology used in AI server environments, jumped about 6.5% on the day after a selloff earlier in the week, according to the market recap. The move represented a rebound from Thursday’s drop, and it helped set a tone for other AI-linked software and infrastructure names that also recovered.

Bloom Energy, which makes distributed power generation systems for customers that include large industrial and data-center users, was also higher in the session. Nvidia, a dominant maker of AI chips and related accelerated computing hardware, was cited among the winners as investors continued to weigh demand indicates and supply-chain momentum tied to the broader AI spending cycle.

Tesla was included among the notable performers, described as rebounding Monday alongside the AI-complex names. While the recap did not spell out a specific catalyst for Tesla that day, it framed the move as part of a broader risk-on swing in growth and technology stocks.

Not all high-profile names improved. Space Exploration Technologies, known publicly as SpaceX, fell ahead of its expected inclusion in the Nasdaq-100. The recap referenced SpaceX’s decline in the context of index membership timing, a period when some investors rebalance around potential flows tied to passive fund tracking.

The juxtaposition reflected a familiar market pattern: investors can be willing to add to AI-adjacent infrastructure and chip-related exposure after a pullback, while still treating index-related moves by individual constituents as a separate, more mechanical event. In this case, the same trading session that lifted several AI infrastructure-linked names also saw selling pressure emerge around SpaceX’s index transition.

For Tesla specifically, the market’s willingness to pair it with AI infrastructure winners underscores how investors continue to treat the company not only as an automaker, but also as part of a wider technology complex. Even without a disclosed company-specific news item in the recap, the stock’s participation in the day’s rebound suggests it was being pulled by broader sentiment toward growth equities.

What remains unclear from the post is whether Tesla’s rebound was driven by company news, analyst commentary, or purely by market positioning. The recap also did not provide index-timing details on SpaceX beyond noting the Nasdaq-100 inclusion setup. Investors will likely watch for subsequent disclosures and trading follow-through around the index change, and for whether AI infrastructure winners maintain momentum into the next session.

Why It Matters

  • AI infrastructure-linked stocks showed renewed buying interest, which can influence broader market sentiment when futures are otherwise steady.
  • Tesla’s rebound alongside AI-focused names suggests investors may be continuing to trade it as part of the broader growth-tech complex, not only on auto fundamentals.
  • SpaceX’s slide ahead of Nasdaq-100 inclusion highlights how index membership events can create near-term trading pressure as funds and their benchmarks rebalance.
  • The contrast between steadier index futures and mixed single-stock moves suggests the next market test may come from whether leadership groups can extend gains.
