ADNOC Gas plc has confirmed that its shares will be included in the FTSE Emerging Index starting September 22, under the FTSE Russell Global Equity Index Series. This inclusion, effective at market open, comes three months after the company entered the MSCI Emerging Markets Index.

A strong signal to global investors

Entry into the FTSE Emerging Index is expected to increase ADNOC Gas’s visibility among global institutional investors. Analysts estimate that the move could attract up to $250mn in additional investments, mainly from passive funds tracking the index. The FTSE Emerging Index measures the performance of large and mid-cap companies in emerging markets, making it a strategic benchmark for global financial players.

ADNOC Gas is listed on the Abu Dhabi Securities Exchange (ADX), where the company expects a significant improvement in share liquidity. This development is seen as a potential driver for expanding its shareholder base and increasing its free float capitalisation.

Strategy aligned with long-term growth

ADNOC Gas management stated that this milestone aligns with a roadmap for sustained growth. The company has announced a $20bn capital investment programme through 2029 to expand infrastructure and production capacity. It aims to increase its earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortisation (EBITDA) by more than 40% between 2023 and 2029.

According to its Chief Executive Officer, the inclusion reflects “the strength of the fundamentals” and aligns with ADNOC Gas’s goal to enhance its profile in global capital markets. The company intends to build on this momentum to attract more foreign capital and solidify its position in the international energy landscape.
