On Thursday at 11:17 AM (Bangkok time), the share price of Thaifoods Group Public Company Limited (SET: TFG) jumped by 3.31% or THB 0.30 to THB 9.35, with a trading value of THB 270.50 million.
The upward movement in TFG’s share price reflects the market’s response to the announcement regarding the inclusion and exclusion of securities in the SET50 and SET100 indices for the second half of 2026. These changes will take effect from July 1 to December 31, 2026.
Inclusion in the SET50 Index is likely to enhance TFG’s appeal to institutional investors, particularly passive funds and index-linked funds, which will likely purchase shares in order to realign their portfolios with the new index composition. This adjustment is expected to generate short- to medium-term capital inflows.
From a strategic standpoint, investors may consider speculative buy opportunities based on technical signals before the effective date. Historically, newly included SET50 stocks tended to experience positive sentiment and price momentum from speculative investment flows leading up to the index change.
