As of today, the PX-50 index newly consists of 16 titles (up from 15). SM Energetika, a regional electricity distributor, is the highest-weighted stock (1.5%) to be included. On the other hand, three other domestic regional electricity distributors have been removed. Their combined weighting was approx. 3% (CEZ recently acquired large majority stakes in them).
More importantly, the weighting of Cesky Telecom, based on December 30 closing prices, rises by 6% to almost 20%. The weightings of Erste Bank, Komercni banka and CEZ in the base decline by approx. 1-3%.
