Source corrected. The draft's own URL (a CNBC piece dated 12 Aug 2026, 'CoreWeave gains 19%, Nebius surges 34% in post-earnings neocloud rally') is a real page but reports a post-earnings share rally, not Nasdaq-100 inclusion — it does not support this row's claim and was carried over unopened in an earlier pass. Replaced with a source that directly confirms the index addition and its 11/22 June 2026 dates.
