The Egyptian Exchange (EGX) Announces the Semi-annual Review of its Market Indices "September 2026"

Egyptian Exchange Posted

The Egyptian Exchange (EGX) announces that the following semi-annual indices review changes will become effective on Tuesday, 1 September 2026.

EGX30 index will witness a change in 4 companies, while EGX70 EWI will witness a change of 12 companies; 3 of which joined EGX30 index. EGX100 EWI will witness a change of 9 companies.

A number of amendments has been introduced regarding the constituents' selection criteria of the EGX30 index and EGX70 EWI, which comes within the framework of EGX ongoing efforts to develop its market indices' methodologies, with the aim of enhancing their efficiency and stability and to be on par with the international best practices, taking into account the nature and objectives of each index and the needs of investors and investment funds tracking these indices.

As for EGX30 Index, the criterion for ranking eligible companies has been amended by assigning a 50% weight to Free Float Adjusted Market Capitalization and a 50% weight to Average Daily Traded Value, instead of relying solely on Average Daily Traded Value in the final ranking of companies. This aims to ensure the inclusion of large companies with good liquidity levels.

For EGX70 EWI, a Buffer Rule has been introduced to limit constituent turnover. Under the new rule, existing constituents of the index will be retained, provided that they meet the eligibility criteria, as long as their ranking falls within the top 85 companies, based on Average Daily Traded Value. This aims to reduce significant changes in index constituents.

EGX33 Shariah index, which includes the most compliant companies with Shariah among the highly liquid companies, will witness a change in 2 companies.

Additionally, EGX35-LV index, which includes companies with the lowest price volatility among the highly liquid companies, will witness a change in 13 companies.

EGX conducts the semi-annual rebalance for its indices at the beginning of March and September of every year, whereby constituents are reviewed according to their respective methodologies. Detailed tables showing the results of the review, including the names of the companies added to and removed from each index, are provided below.

For more details about the eligibility criteria of EGX indices, please refer to the indices' methodologies on EGX website. The methodologies of the relevant indices are currently being updated to reflect the newly approved amendments. The updated methodologies will be published prior to the implementation of the results of the September 2026 semi-annual review.
