ADNOC Logistics & Services Included In MSCI Emerging Markets Index Effective November 2025

ADNOC Logistics & Services plc (ADNOC L&S) has been added to the MSCI Emerging Markets Index. This index is a key benchmark for institutional investors focusing on large and mid-cap companies in 24 emerging markets. The inclusion will take effect on 25th November 2025.

The recent secondary offering by ADNOC, valued at $317 million (AED1.16 billion), played a crucial role in this achievement. Conducted in August, it increased the company's free float to about 22% and significantly boosted average daily trading volumes. This move expanded ADNOC L&S's institutional investor base, enhancing its visibility in the index.

The offering was priced at AED5.25 per share, marking a minimal discount of 3.33% for regional secondary sell-downs. It was oversubscribed nearly seven times, highlighting strong investor trust in ADNOC L&S's strategic plans and financial stability. Broker estimates suggest that inclusion in the MSCI Index could attract over $200 million (AED734 million) in passive capital inflows, boosting stock liquidity and global market access.

Captain Abdulkareem Al Masabi, CEO of ADNOC L&S, stated, "Our inclusion in the MSCI Emerging Markets Index is a strong endorsement of ADNOC L&S’s transformation into a globally recognised, energy maritime logistics champion. This milestone reflects growing investor confidence, enhances access to international capital, and supports our strategy to scale operations, unlock diversified revenue streams, and deliver superior, long-term shareholder returns."

With this development, ADNOC L&S becomes the fourth company from the ADNOC Group to join the MSCI Emerging Markets Index. It joins ADNOC Distribution, ADNOC Drilling, and ADNOC Gas in strengthening ADNOC's presence in global capital markets.

Since its initial public offering (IPO), ADNOC L&S has delivered nearly 200% total shareholder return. This performance is backed by strong revenue growth and increased EBITDA. All 18 analysts covering the stock currently recommend buying it, reflecting high market confidence in its strategic direction.
