The Colombo Stock Exchange (CSE) has announced changes to the constituents of the active S&P Sri Lanka 20 Index (S&P SL20) following the 2026 mid-year rebalancing conducted by S&P Dow Jones Indices.
According to the CSE, ACL Cables PLC, CIC Holdings PLC and the voting shares of Commercial Bank of Ceylon PLC will be included in the index, while LB Finance PLC and People’s Leasing and Finance PLC will be excluded. The changes took place yesterday (22 June).

To qualify for inclusion, a company must maintain a minimum float-adjusted market capitalisation of Rs. 500 million, a six-month median daily traded value of at least Rs. 0.25 million and report positive net income during the 12 months preceding the rebalancing reference date.
