MVIS Australia Equal Weight Index Rebalance Preview: Should I Stay or Should IGO?

By Brian Freitas

  • The review period for the March rebalance of the MVIS Australia Equal Weight Index ends on 29 February with results announced on 8 March and implemented on 15 March.
  • Lendlease Group (LLC AU), IDP Education (IEL AU) and IGO Ltd (IGO AU) are very close to deletion zone and price moves over the next couple of weeks are important.
  • IGO Ltd (IGO AU) is also a deletion from a global index in February and a lower stock price could lead to deletion from this index too.

Flotek Industries, Inc. – Market Share Gains Despite Headwinds

By Water Tower Research

  • Flotek’s suite of chemical solutions, which can help customers increase economic returns on their capital investment, helped the company gain market share during FY23 despite headwinds created by a declining US rig count.
  • The company’s prescriptive chemistry solutions, combined with its proprietary Complex nano Fluid (CnF)® technologies, have demonstrated improved production performance over a large population of wells completed in the Permian Basin.
  • Customer efforts to improve their returns on capital could continue to provide a buffer against headwinds and result in further market share gains in 2024.
