Will the dual listing affect the company's eligibility for certain index inclusion or weighting?

Answer

A dual‑listing in itself does not automatically change a company’s eligibility for most major U.S. indices. Index providers (e.g., S&P Dow Jones Indicies, MSCI, FTSE) typically base eligibility and weighting on the primary exchange and the share‑class structure. Since Insperity will keep its primary listing on the New York Stock Exchange and will trade the same “NSP” ticker on NYSE Texas, the firm’s classification, market‑cap, and free‑float calculations remain unchanged for index‑committee purposes. Consequently, any existing index memberships (e.g., S&P 500, Russell 1000) are unlikely to be affected by the new Texas venue.

The practical impact is more about liquidity and market depth than index composition. The electronic NYSE Texas platform could attract a modest additional order flow—especially from Texas‑based institutional and corporate investors—tightening the bid/ask spread and modestly expanding the daily‑average volume. In the short term, traders may see a slight uptick in intraday volatility as market participants test the new venue, but the overall float and weighting in index calculations will stay the same.

Trading implication: Expect the dual‑listing to be a neutral event for index‑fund positioning. Focus instead on any liquidity‑driven price moves; a modest increase in volume could provide tighter execution for short‑term scalpers, while long‑term investors should continue to treat NSP’s index exposure as unchanged. Monitor the NYSE Texas order‑book for any sustained volume shifts that might later influence free‑float estimates used by index committees.
