RSISX Index Update Report (Available for anyone who is in our email distribution list)

Rabee has been calculating its own index, the “RSISX Index” since 2008 in international standards to better reflect the ISX price performance. Our index is a free-float weighted index, and it became a benchmark in the market. We publish a quarterly update report for our index to announce whether we replaced any of the 10 index companies or not. While taking such a decision, we consider the liquidity in two consecutive quarters. RSISX Index Update Report includes:

  • Which companies in index calculation were replaced with others (if required)
  • The list of 10 companies that are used in index calculation, our free float assumptions for each of them, and their weights in the RSISX Index

 

Adjusted Historical Closing Prices:

RS is adjusting (recalculating) the previous closing prices of ISX-Listed companies, according to international standards, when they resume trading after announcing in their AGM to distribute dividends or/and increase their paid-in capital. If the previous closing prices are not recalculated after such a decision, the daily price change when the company resumes trading is not calculated in the right way. Moreover, the trend in the price chart reflects wrong movements and can mislead investors, because of that, RS is adjusting all previous closing prices to reflect the true performance of the stocks. Please go to the “Company Analysis” page on our website to see the charts that show these adjusted closing prices for each of the ISX-listed companies comparable to each other and the RSISX Index.
