The Trade Desk (NASDAQ:TTD) shares rose nearly 5% in pre-market trading on Thursday after stock exchange operator Nasdaq announced that the digital marketing company will join the Nasdaq-100 Index.
The Trade Desk (TTD) will become a component of the Nasdaq-100 Index, the Nasdaq-100 Equal Weighted Index and the Nasdaq-100 Ex-Tech Sector Index prior to market open on July 17, 2023.

It will replace Activision Blizzard (ATVI) in the indices, which is also leaving the Nasdaq-100 ESG Index. Activision is currently in the process of being acquired by Microsoft (MSFT), though the Federal Trade Commission is attempting a last minute appeal to try to stop the deal from closing.
