MC Explains | The case of MSCI’s review of Adani Group stocks
Index provider MSCI has said it will review the free-float status of Adani Group-linked stocks and their eligibility in its indexes. “MSCI has received feedback from a range of market participants concerning the eligibility and free-float determination of specific securities associated with the Adani Group for the MSCI Global Investable Market Indexes (GIMI),” it said on February 8. “Any changes in the review affecting the calculations of the Indian conglomerate’s free float will be announced and implemented along with the index’s February review, due on February 9.” A decision by MSCI to reduce the number of free-floating shares of Adani companies is likely to negatively impact the stocks. Adani Group stocks fell on February 9, triggered by news of MSCI’s review.
