This would result to a public float of 2.78% once the shares are crossed on September 26, and will pave the way for MPI\u2019s planned voluntary delisting. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Aboitiz Power Corp. (AP)<\/strong>, on the other hand, submitted a Public Ownership Report showing that its public float has fallen to 19.98% as of September 18 following a series of related party and share buyback transactions. This disqualifies it from inclusion in the PSEi, which requires a public float of at least 20.0%. Additional transactions after the said date has taken AP\u2019s public float lower to 19.86%.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>BLOOM and CNPF are in<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Enrique Razon\u2019s integrated casino developer <strong>Bloomberry Resorts Corp. (BLOOM)<\/strong> and the Po Brothers\u2019 processed food maker <strong>Century Pacific Food, Inc. (CNPF)<\/strong> are set to replace AP and MPI on the PSE Index. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>BLOOM was previously removed from the index due to a massive drop in its market capitalization during the COVID-19 lockdowns, while CNPF will be added to the index for the first time. Changes to the index composition will take effect on market open on September 26.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Which company is next?<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>As things stand, we don\u2019t expect further changes to be made when the scheduled rebalancing is announced in February. However, it is still too early to tell, and off-hand<strong> Converge ICT Solutions (CNVRG)<\/strong> is perilously close to falling out of the top 30 in terms of market capitalization. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In the event that its share price falls further, <strong>Nickel Asia Corp. (NIKL)<\/strong> would be next in line for inclusion in the index.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:26px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p style=\"font-size:16px\"><em><em>This report is prepared by PinoyInvestor\u2019s partner broker below.
