(Vienna) In accordance with the rules and regulations, the composition of the ATX Global Players index has been adjusted. This means that effective from Monday, 23 September, Mayr-Melnhof Karton AG and Wienerberger AG will be included in the ATX Global Players. BAWAG Group AG will be excluded from the index. This is the result of a review of the company's turnover. The ATX Global Players Index is composed of those prime market companies that generate more than 20% of their revenue outside Europe. At present, these are 16 index members. The sectors currently most represented in the index are industrial goods and services (29.5%), basic industries (27%), financials (24.2%), consumer products (13.8%), as well as technology and telecom (5.4%).
AUSTRIACARD HOLDINGS AG new in the ATX Family
AUSTRIACARD HOLDINGS AG will be the new entry to the ATX Family index. The ATX Family is a free float-weighted price index that includes all ATX Prime stocks in which the founding families, management or supervisory boards hold between 25% and 75% of the stocks directly or through a attributable shareholding. As a result of the new inclusion, the ATX Family will grow to 17 index members with effect from Monday, 23 September.
The composition of the two indices is reviewed once a year in September. The calculation is based on a purely quantitative method that is defined in a set of rules. The semi-annual review by the index committee did not result in any changes to the calculation factors or the composition of the ATX national index. The ATX Financials will also be adjusted on Monday due to a new sector classification, with the removal of real estate stocks and a resulting reorganization of the index composition.
