Goodman Group (GMG AU): Much Bigger Index Impact of US$2.5bn Equity Offering

By Brian Freitas

  • Goodman Group went into a trading halt and then announced results and an underwritten equity placement of A$4bn (US$2.54bn) to pursue growth opportunities across logistics and data center operations.
  • The stock has dropped since CIC’s stake sale in December but still continues to handily outperform peers.
  • There will be some passive buying in the stock at the time of share settlement and more a few days later to mop up around 37% of the offering.

S&P/​​​​​​​​​ASX Index Rebalance Preview: Changes Stable as Adds Outperform Deletes Bigly

By Brian Freitas

  • Nearing a few days left in the review period, there could be 39 adds/deletes across the S&P/ASX family of indices in March.
  • Passive trackers will need to trade a lot of stock in the forecast changes, with the impact being especially large for the changes to the S&P/ASX 200 and S&P/ASX 300.
  • Except for the S&P/ASX 200 (AS51 INDEX) that is heavily tracked, the performance of the forecast changes to the other indices has been very stable with adds outperforming deletes bigly.
