DigiPlus levels up to PSEi, ousts Bloomberry

Listing online gaming operator DigiPlus Interactive Corp. is moving into the Philippine Stock Exchange index (PSEi) on 18 August, booting out Bloomberry Resorts Corp. in the latest shakeup of the country’s premier stock gauge.

“Joining the PSE Index is more than a corporate milestone for us at DigiPlus. It’s a powerful statement that homegrown Filipino companies can lead in the digital age,” DigiPlus chairman Eusebio Tanco said on Friday.

“We have created a new kind of digital entertainment company, one that doesn’t just catch up on trends, but pioneers platforms that resonate with real people,” he added. 

In a memorandum dated 8 August, the PSE said the changes are based on trading activity from July 2024 to June 2025. 

To qualify for the PSEi, a listed firm must rank among the top companies in terms of liquidity and market capitalization.

Other index adjustments include the addition of The Keepers Holdings Inc. and Puregold Price Club Inc. to the PSE Dividend Yield index, replacing Figaro Culinary Group and Universal Robina Corp. 

Asia United Bank, Bloomberry, and OceanaGold (Philippines) Inc. joined the PSE MidCap index, replacing GMA Network Inc., Petron Corp., and DigiPlus.

For sectoral indices, changes include the entry of National Reinsurance Corp. in Financials; Concepcion Industrial Corp., Citicore Renewable Energy Corp., and Vitarich Corp. in Industrials; and ATN Holdings Inc. in Holding Firms. 

No change was made in the Property index. 

Pacific Online Systems Corp. was removed from the Services index, on the other hand, Lepanto Consolidated Mining Co. and OceanaGold were added to the Mining and Oil index.
