ADNOC Gas Achieves Inclusion In MSCI Emerging Markets Index To Boost Investment Profile

ADNOC Gas plc and its subsidiaries have announced their inclusion in the MSCI Emerging Markets Index, effective 2nd June 2025. This index is a key benchmark for large and mid-cap companies in 24 emerging markets. ADNOC Gas is now the third company from ADNOC to join this index, marking a significant step in boosting its global investment appeal.

The inclusion is expected to enhance ADNOC Gas's visibility among international institutional investors. This could lead to passive cash inflows ranging from $300 to $500 million, thereby diversifying its investor base. The move aligns with the company's strategy to strengthen its global presence and attract more investment.

ADNOC Gas has been executing a disciplined growth strategy since its 2023 listing. The company plans to invest $15 billion between 2025 and 2029 in promising opportunities. These initiatives include major projects aimed at reinforcing its status as a leading global gas supplier, targeting a 40% EBITDA increase by 2029.

The company's strategic focus on growth is expected to deliver additional value for shareholders through 2025 and beyond. Fatema Mohamed Al Nuaimi, CEO of ADNOC Gas, stated, "We are delighted that ADNOC Gas has been included in the MSCI Emerging Market Index. The inclusion supports our ambition to attract a broader and more diversified base of institutional investors and should drive greater liquidity in ADNOC Gas stock."

Al Nuaimi also noted that a recent $2.84 billion marketed offering increased the company's free float by 80%, resulting in a sixfold rise in average daily trading volume. This development highlights the company's commitment to enhancing shareholder value through strategic growth initiatives.

With increased exposure to institutional investors, ADNOC Gas expects higher trading volumes and improved investor engagement. This should solidify its position as a leading energy player globally, benefiting from deeper market penetration and enhanced stock visibility.

Efforts to increase the free float, along with growing strategic investments, are anticipated to support ADNOC Gas's long-term goal of enhancing shareholder returns. The company's robust pipeline of projects is designed to maximise value creation while maintaining its leadership position in the energy sector.
