Criteria for changes in components

• Significant decline in liquidity

• Delisting

• Changes in industrial structure

• Changes in market environment
Rebalancing of Components

      Criteria                      Companies
      Deletion due to acquisition   Sanyo Electric Co. , Panasonic
                                    Electric Works
      Deletion due to bankruptcy    Kanebo Ltd

      Additions                     Yaskawa Electric Corp



•Components are added at an interval of 2 days
Index Calculation – Dow Jones Method
•   Nikkei 225 takes just the share price and its predetermined par value.

•   Stocks with an irregular par value have their share price converted to a 50 yen par value
    base.

•   A divisor is then used to ensure continuity in the index to ensure that events such as stock
    splits, dividends and changes in constituents do not distort the index.

•   The divisor value is published along with the price values of the Nikkei constituents – 24.996
Calculation of divisor

• Stock Splits – C Split 1 to 2
 Stock               Stock Price ¥(After   Stock Price ¥(After
                     Par Value)            Par Value Adj)
 A                   400                   400
 B                   500                   500
 C                   900                   450

Average Stock Price = 1800/3 = 600

Now, Average Stock Price = 1350/2.25 = 600
So the devisor changes to 2.75
New divisor = ∑Post Stock split Average
              _____________________ X Old Divisor
              ∑ Pre Stock Split Average
Calculation of divisor

• Change in Constituents - Merger
  Stock         Stock Price ¥   Stock Price ¥
  A             400             -
  B             500             500
  C             900             900
  D             -               1000

Average Stock Price = 1800/3 = 600
So the devisor changes to 4
Now, Average Stock Price = 2400/4 = 600
New divisor = ∑Post Stock split Average
              _____________________ X Old Divisor
              ∑ Pre Stock Split Average
