Nifty 50 – Another set of exclusions/inclusions possibly coming in next 1 year.

Recently had written a few articles focusing on Nifty from different angles like technicals , p-e , Global Indices etc.

I have consolidated the same into an e-book.

In a periodic review NSE removed PNB, Vedanta, Cairn India and replaced it with Aurobindo Pharma, Bharti Infratel, Eicher Motors and Tata Motors DVR. Link to the article.

Over the next  1 year we could see some more stocks being excluded from Nifty and replaced by others.

The easiest way to check which are the stocks that stand a chance to get into Nifty is to look at Nifty Junior which has been rebranded as Nifty Next 50.

So as of yesterdays prices.

The last 5 stocks as per Free Float Weightage on Nifty 50. The recent 3 entries also come under review again.

The top stocks which stand a chance to make it to Nifty 50 from Nifty next 50.

If you notice all the above stocks have a free float market cap more than the last 5 constituents of Nifty 50. The reason they do not make it into Nifty 50 is the following condition in the methodology of Nifty 50 Eligibility Criteria.

• Companies eligible for inclusion in the Nifty 50 must have at least twice the float-adjusted market capitalization of the current smallest index constituent.

Due to the above criteria have not included the bottom 10 of Nifty but stocks like - Idea Cellular , Bank of Baroda, Gail India, Ambuja Cements, Bosch Limited and Tata Steel would also come under the exclusion radar as free float market cap is equal to the above stocks of Nifty next 50.

Some more criteria.

• Timing of Changes: The index is reviewed semi-annually, and a four-week notice is given to the
  market before making any changes to the index constituents.
• Additions: The complete list of eligible securities is compiled based on the float - adjusted market
  capitalization criteria. After that, the liquidity (impact cost) and float - adjustment filters are applied to
  them, respectively. The top ranking companies form the replacement pool. The top stocks, in terms of size
  (float-adjusted market capitalization) are, then, identified for inclusion in the index from the replacement
  pool.
• Deletions: Stocks may be deleted due to mergers, acquisitions or spin-offs. Otherwise, as noted above,
  twice a year a new eligible stock list is drawn up to review against the current constituents. If this new list
  warrants changes in the existing constituent list, then the smallest existing constituents are dropped in
  favor of the new additions.

So going ahead in the next 1 year any sharp drops or rallies in above stocks will see a good set of churn as there a bunch of stocks in the free float market cap of 10k-20k crores.
