Trading in iEdge Next 50 accelerates as ADT hits $261m

Four stocks will be added.

Trading activity in the iEdge Next 50 Index accelerated in the first quarter of 2026, with the combined average daily turnover (ADT) of its 50 constituents rising to $261m through 13 March, up from $221m in the second half of 2025.

Despite this momentum, the Index posted marginal declines during the period, after delivering a 19% total return in the second half of 2025. It continues to track closely with the FTSE ST Mid & Small Cap Index.

The upcoming rebalance, effective 23 March, will see four new additions to the Index. Based on market data from 27 February, the last trading day of the month, Haw Par Corp, GuocoLand, Ultragreen.ai, and ValueMax Group will join the Index under the iEdge Next 50 Index rules.

Meanwhile, Banyan Tree Holdings, SBS Transit, Geo Energy Resources, and COSCO SHIPPING International Singapore Co will be removed. Stocks that narrowly missed inclusion include AEM Holdings, Hong Fok Corporation, Delfi, Marco Polo Marine, and Nam Cheong.

The rebalance doubles healthcare sector representation from two to four stocks, lifting its combined weighting from 2%–3% to 6%–7%. The sector now includes Raffles Medical Group, Riverstone Holdings, Haw Par Corp, Ultragreen.ai, as well as Parkway Life REIT, with Q & M Dental Group (Singapore) remaining a potential future addition if its capitalisation rises significantly.

ValueMax Group’s inclusion is supported by higher free float from warrant exercises, whilst GuocoLand enters after a review of total shares outstanding.

Stock weights in the Index are based on free float, though the top 10 constituents are ranked by full market capitalisation.
