Resource Stocks Drive S&P/ASX Index Shake-Up in March 2026 Rebalance

EQ Resources Limited ( (AU:EQR) ) has issued an announcement.

S&P Dow Jones Indices has announced its March 2026 quarterly rebalance of the S&P/ASX indices, reshaping key Australian benchmark compositions across the S&P/ASX 20, 50, 100, 200 and 300. The review sees notable additions of Northern Star Resources to the S&P/ASX 20 and multiple gold and critical minerals players such as Greatland Resources, Regis Resources and Westgold Resources to the S&P/ASX 100, while companies including Santos, Lendlease and EBOS Group are removed from various tiers.

The changes highlight a growing index weight toward resource and energy-transition-related stocks, with new inclusions like Vulcan Energy Resources and Arafura Rare Earths reflecting investor focus on critical minerals. For institutional and index-tracking investors, the reshuffle will prompt portfolio rebalancing ahead of the March 23 effective date, potentially influencing liquidity, capital flows and valuations for both added and removed constituents.
