Priceline.com, the Norwalk provider of an array of online discount travel and consumer services, says it will soon join the Standard & Poor’s 500 Index.
Its shares will be added to the S&P global industry classification standard Internet retail sub-industry index at a yet-to-be-determined date.
The S&P 500 is an index of 500 large-cap common stocks actively traded on either the New York Stock Exchange or Nasdaq. In addition to the Dow Jones Industrial Average, the S&P 500 is one of the most widely followed indexes of large-cap U.S. stocks.
On Thursday, Priceline was officially added to the Nasdaq-100 Index.
