Share counts are updated to the latest available shares outstanding at the reference date, with special derivation rules for depositary receipts, units, and multiple classes. |
| Divisor adjustment rule | Multiplicative formula: Divisor_t = Divisor_(t-1) * MV_t / MV_(t-1); Additive formula: Divisor_new = Divisor_old + CMV / Index Level; Principle: The divisor is adjusted so the index level remains unchanged when constituent market values change at constant prices | Given these, it is easy to determine the new divisor that will keep the index level constant when stock r is replaced by stock s: MV t = Divisor ( Divisor 1)From S&P DJI Index Mathematics ↗ |
The new divisor equals the old divisor multiplied by the ratio of new to old index market value, or equivalently the old divisor plus the change in market value divided by the unchanged index level. |
