Emperador (EMP) out.
Puregold PriceClub (PGOLD) in.
That’s pretty much the summary of the recomposition about to happen in the Philippine Stock Exchange (PSE) index starting March 13, after the PSE announced the results of the regular index rebalancing.
Revising the PSE index (PSEi) is part of the PSE’s regular index review which the PSE conducts twice a year — once in March and another in September.
The PSEi is a list of 30 publicly-traded stocks in the PSE and is generally considered a barometer of the performance of the stock market and the country’s overall economic state.
PSE index Inclusion Criteria
The PSE considers the following three factors when determining which companies are eligible to be included in the PSEi:
- 1. Free Float — the stock must have a public float or minimum public ownership of at least 12%;
- 2. Liquidity — stock must belong to the top 25% by median daily value turnover per month for at least nine out of 12 months; and
- 3. Full Market Capitalization — stock should be one of the 30 companies with highest-ranked market capitalization (MCAP), measured by the company’s stock price multiplied by the number of shares being publicly traded.
During the review period, a stock could be added to the index if it rises above the 25th position in terms of full market capitalization, replacing the company that ranks lower.
A stock, meanwhile, could be deleted from the PSEi if it falls below the 35th position in terms of full market capitalization.
