Westgold Joins S&P/ASX 100 as S&P Dow Jones Unveils March Index Rebalance

Meet Samuel – Your Personal Investing Prophet

Westgold Resources ( (AU:WGX) ) has provided an update.

S&P Dow Jones Indices has announced its March 2026 quarterly rebalance of the S&P/ASX equity indices, with a series of additions and removals across the 20, 50, 100, 200 and 300 benchmarks. The reshuffle reflects shifting market capitalisation and liquidity profiles, with Northern Star Resources entering the S&P/ASX 20, Light & Wonder and PLS Group joining the S&P/ASX 50, and Greatland Resources, Regis Resources and Westgold Resources being promoted into the S&P/ASX 100 at the expense of several financial and property names.

Further down the market-cap spectrum, changes to the S&P/ASX 200 and 300 bring a wave of new resource, energy transition and technology-related stocks into the indices, while removing a mix of infrastructure, healthcare and specialist investment groups. For companies being added, index inclusion typically supports trading volumes and passive fund demand, whereas deletions may reduce visibility and index-linked ownership, underscoring the competitive dynamics within Australia’s benchmark equity universe.

The most recent analyst rating on (AU:WGX) stock is a Hold with a A$9.00 price target. To see the full list of analyst forecasts on Westgold Resources stock, see the AU:WGX Stock Forecast page.
