S&P Dow Jones Indices is updating the market cap guidelines for its U.S. indices. Effective today, the new guidelines are:
S&P 500-- $4.6 billion or greater (previous range was $ 4.0 billion or greater)
S&P MidCap 400-- $1.2 billion to $5.1 billion (previous range was $1.0 billion to $4.4 billion)
S&P SmallCap 600-- $350 million to $1.6 billion (previous range was $300 million to $1.4 billion)
"Given the market's advance since the recession low in March 2009, and especially over the last two years, the new cap ranges provide a better division among the three leading US equity benchmarks: the S&P 500, S&P MidCap 400 and S&P Small Cap 600,” says David M. Blitzer, Managing Director and Chairman of the Index Committee at S&P Dow Jones Indices. "As always, the Index Committee will continue to monitor these ranges and developments within the indices." The guidelines refer to a company’s total market capitalization, not its float-adjusted market cap.
S&P Dow Jones Indices will make the following changes to the S&P SmallCap 600:
CalAmp Corp. (NASDAQ: CAMP) will replace Palomar Medical Technologies Inc. (NASDAQ: PMTI) after the close of trading on Monday, June 24. S&P SmallCap 600 constituent Cynosure Inc. (NASDAQ: CYNO) is acquiring Palomar Medical Technologies in a deal expected to be completed on or about that date pending final approvals.
Associated Estates Realty Corp. (NYSE: AEC) will replace Websense Inc. (NASDAQ: WBSN) after the close of trading on Tuesday, June 25. Private equity firm Vista Equity Partners is acquiring Websense in a deal expected to be completed soon pending final approvals.
