Summary
Nasdaq has announced that Maha Capital AB (MAHA A) will be added to the OMX Stockholm Benchmark Index effective from market opening on June 1, 2026. The inclusion represents part of Nasdaq's semi-annual reconstitution of the index, which also includes adjustments to other constituents such as Lugn & Värme (LUG), NCAB Group AB (NCAB), and Solid AB.
The OMX Stockholm Benchmark Index (OMXSB) functions as the primary barometer for equity performance on Nasdaq Stockholm, comprising a selection of the largest and most actively traded securities with representation across multiple industry supersectors. The index is weighted by free float market capitalization, meaning only freely tradeable shares are included in the calculation, ensuring that constituent weightings reflect actual market liquidity. This methodology is designed to enhance investability and enable investors to fully replicate the index at minimal transaction cost.
The index undergoes reconstitution twice annually to maintain its quality as both a performance indicator and a reference benchmark. Its dual design—available in both price (PI) and gross (GI) return versions, as well as a weight-limited UCITS-compliant capped version (OMXSBCAP)—makes it widely adopted as a comparative index for institutional investors and as the underlying for passively managed investment products across Scandinavia. The OMXSB maintains a base date of December 30, 1995, with a base value of 100.
Maha Capital's inclusion follows its listing on Nasdaq Stockholm's Main Market in December 2020. The company, established in 2013, is headquartered in Stockholm. Entry into the OMX Stockholm Benchmark Index should provide enhanced institutional accessibility and potential liquidity benefits for existing and prospective investors in the company.
