Viva Energy Group Limited will exit the S&P/ASX 100 index in the June 2025 quarterly rebalance. Other major index constituents are also shifting, signaling evolving market trends that beginner traders should watch closely.
S&P Dow Jones Indices has announced a quarterly rebalance of its Australian indices, with changes set to take effect before trading opens on Monday, June 23, 2025. The review, released in Sydney on June 6, 2025, details a series of additions and removals across several indices, impacting key components for investors and market watchers.
For the benchmark 20-company index, BXB Brambles Limited is being added while James Hardie Industries PLC is removed. In the 50-company index, the rebalance sees Evolution Mining Limited join the lineup as Pilbara Minerals Limited is dropped. The benchmark 100-company index introduces Pinnacle Investment Management Group Limited and Perseus Mining Limited, but removes Paladin Energy Limited along with Viva Energy Group Limited. Additionally, the 200-company index now includes Austal Limited and Nick Scali Limited, whereas Healius Limited and Stanmore Resources Limited will no longer feature on the list. The All Technology Index remains unchanged during this cycle.
The technical adjustments reflect routine portfolio management and market capitalization updates, with detailed constituent and index share data expected to be available in proforma files delivered after the market close on the specified dates. Investors and traders, particularly those new to the financial markets, should note these changes as they can influence index-tracking funds and overall market sentiment.
The sentiment among market participants could lean bullish in light of the additions of companies with strong fundamentals and growth prospects, such as Evolution Mining Limited and Perseus Mining Limited, which may attract renewed investor interest. On the bearish side, the removal of a significant energy player like Viva Energy Group Limited from a major index might be viewed as a signal of evolving sector dynamics and potential headwinds. As the rebalancing aligns the indices with current market realities, both opportunities and challenges are likely to emerge for investors monitoring these shifts.
