IPO Update: Analysts predict that Delhivery will be included to the FTSE All-World Index by December

Analysts predict that Delhivery will be included to the FTSE All-World Index by December According to Brain Freitas, an analyst at Periscope Analytics, a market research business registered as a service provider on market research aggregation platform Smartkarma, IPO-bound Delhivery is projected to be included to the FTSE All-World Index by December this year and the MSCI India index by May 2023. Freitas also stated that the stock will not be included to the BSE and NSE's main Sensex and Nifty indexes any time soon. The FTSE All-World Index measures the performance of big and mid-cap firms in established and emerging economies. The index is based on the FTSE Global Equity Index Series (GEIS), which includes approximately 7,400 stocks from 47 countries and represents 98 percent of the global market capitalization. "If Delhivery is listed after mid-May, the earliest it may be included in the FTSE indexes is during the December quarterly index review (QIR), when data from November 11 will be used to construct the free float." Delhivery will require a market size of $3.95 billion and an investable market cap of $463 million to be included in the FTSE All-World index, according to Brian. Delhivery, on the other hand, will not fulfil the requirements for a fast-track inclusion into the FTSE and MSCI indexes. A firm must have a complete market valuation of $8.71 billion and a free-float market cap of $4.36 billion to qualify for fast-track admission into the MSCI index. Things are a little more difficult for FTSE because it has its own set of regulations. ABOUT DELHIVERY  Tandon, Sahil Barua, Bhavesh Manglani, Bharati, and Saharan created Delhivery in 2011.
