<p>On Friday, the S&amp;P Dow Jones Global Index team <a href="https://www.spglobal.com/spdji/en/documents/indexnews/announcements/20210312-1336360/1336360_march2021-5146-shuf-pr.pdf" target="_blank" rel="noopener">announced</a> changes to the S&amp;P500 Index. </p><div><div><div><blockquote>
<p>NEW YORK, March 12, 2021: S&amp;P Dow Jones Indices will make the following index adjustments to the S&amp;P 500, S&amp;P 100, S&amp;P MidCap 400 and S&amp;P SmallCap 600 to ensure each index is more representative of its market capitalization range. The changes will be effective prior to the open of trading on Monday, March 22, 2021 to coincide with the quarterly rebalance:</p>
<p>NXP Semiconductors NV (NASD:NXPI) will replace Flowserve Corp. (NYSE:FLS) in the S&amp;P 500, Flowserve will replace Edgewell Personal Care Co. (NYSE:EPC) in the S&amp;P MidCap 400, and Edgewell Personal Care will replace Exterran Corp. (NYSE:EXTN) in the S&amp;P SmallCap 600. Exterran is no longer representative of the small-cap market space.</p>
<p>S&amp;P MidCap 400 constituents Penn National Gaming Inc. (NASD:PENN), Generac Holdings Inc. (NYSE:GNRC) and Caesars Entertainment Inc. (NASD:CZR) will all move to the S&amp;P 500, replacing SL Green Realty Corp. (NYSE:SLG), Xerox Holdings Corp. (NYSE:XRX) and Vontier Corp (NYSE:VNT), all of which will move to the S&amp;P MidCap 400.</p>
<p>S&amp;P 500 constituents Broadcom Inc. (NASD:AVGO), T-Mobile US Inc. (NASD:TMUS) and Linde plc (NYSE:LIN) will replace Allstate Corp. (NYSE:ALL), Kinder Morgan Inc. (NYSE:KMI) and Schlumberger NV (NYSE:SLB) in the S&amp;P 100. Allstate, Kinder Morgan, and Schlumberger will remain in the S&amp;P 500.</p>

<p>PENN's impact in terms of ADV is low because average daily volume is a much higher percentage of float shares than the other companies. </p>
<p>PENN and <a href="https://www.smartkarma.com/entities/caesars-entertainment-corp" target="_blank" data-smartkarma-citation="entities:15532:1" rel="noopener">Caesars Entertainment (CZR US)</a> may end up seeing some non-negligible impact, and substantially higher-than-normal trading volume because of their recent history as speculative vehicles.</p>

On Friday, the S&amp;P Dow Jones Global Index team announced changes to the S&amp;P500 Index. 
NEW YORK, March 12, 2021: S&amp;P Dow Jones Indices will make the following index adjustments to the S&amp;P 500, S&amp;P 100, S&amp;P MidCap 400 and S&amp;P SmallCap 600 to ensure each index is more representative of its market capitalization range.

Exterran is no longer representative of the small-cap market space.
S&amp;P MidCap 400 constituents Penn National Gaming Inc. (NASD:PENN), Generac Holdings Inc. (NYSE:GNRC) and Caesars Entertainment Inc. (NASD:CZR) will all move to the S&amp;P 500, replacing SL Green Realty Corp. (NYSE:SLG), Xerox Holdings Corp. (NYSE:XRX) and Vontier Corp (NYSE:VNT), all of which will move to the S&amp;P MidCap 400.
S&amp;P 500 constituents Broadcom Inc. (NASD:AVGO), T-Mobile US Inc. (NASD:TMUS) and Linde plc (NYSE:LIN) will replace Allstate Corp. (NYSE:ALL), Kinder Morgan Inc. (NYSE:KMI) and Schlumberger NV (NYSE:SLB) in the S&amp;P 100. Allstate, Kinder Morgan, and Schlumberger will remain in the S&amp;P 500.
This should lead to US$17.7-21.3bn to buy of the four names based on prices at Friday's close, and US$3.2-3.9bn to sell of the outgoing names. Some of this will be crossed off internally, but a bunch of it will have to trade on the market. There are five trading days to get this done, and the average buy is 11-13 days of ADV. The sells are slightly higher. Quiddity estimates are below.Penn National Gaming (PENN US) looks like it is the least-impacted by this move at only 4.3-5.1 days of ADV but I remind observers that passive funds will need to own the same percentage of the Voting Rights Float (i.e. if there are 100 shares out and there are 20 shares shorted, there would also be 20 shares additionally purchased on the long side, but the 97.6% float on PENN is 97.6% of 100, not of 120) for all companies in the basket.

Both PENN and CZR trade at somewhat lofty multiples based on last year's EBITDA, but both get to the low to mid teens by two years from now.
PENN has tracked an index (equal-weighted, daily-rebalanced) of the above-listed peers reasonably well over the past 12 months, but the 5-year log chart tells you that there have been moments of sustained underperformance. 
It is easier to see this on a chart of the ratio, as below, which suggests that to revisit recent highs against its Peer Basket Index, the shares would have to gain a bit more than 10%.

Looking forward for the next few years, PENN trades at a slightly higher-than-Peer Basket average EV/EBIT ratio (using current EV and the average of FY+2 and FY+3 consensus EBIT).*
* Note that the two lines - green and light blue - represent different ways of looking at the same data. The light blue line is the average EV/EBIT ratio across the 10-name basket.

Is this outperformance due to improving forecasts since last summer?  Not really. Kind of middle of the pack. 
If one uses the S&amp;P guidance as to tracking funds and the quantity to buy using the pre-announcement price of Tesla Motors (TSLA US), there should be $3.2bn of PENN to buy using Friday's closing price. I expect it is more than that.
The options positioning does not seem to be substantial enough to drive a short gamma squeeze but keen observers know, that can change. Existing shorts across the four names could be covered out of care, but it is not clear that will be a big driver either, though the short on PENN is reasonably substantial as a portion of the inclusion buy quantity.

All in all, there are some interesting things to look at in this event. 
Conclusions are below the fold.
