Adnoc Gas’ inclusion to unlock over $250 million in investment

Adnoc Gas and its subsidiaries on Monday announced that its shares have been selected for inclusion in the FTSE Emerging Index - part of the FTSE Russell Global Equity Index Series (GEIS) — with inclusion effective when markets open on 22nd September 2025.

Adnoc Gas believes this milestone will enhance its visibility among global institutional investors, broaden its shareholder base, and support liquidity on the Abu Dhabi Securities Exchange (ADX).

Market analysts estimate that inclusion may result in up to $250 million in incremental investment.

The FTSE Emerging Index is widely tracked by international investors and measures the performance of large and mid-cap companies across advanced and secondary emerging markets within the FTSE GEIS.

Fatema Mohamed Al Nuaimi, Chief Executive Officer of Adnoc Gas, said, “Joining the FTSE Emerging Index is a strong endorsement of Adnoc Gas’ fundamentals and consistent delivery on our strategy. This achievement reinforces our ambition to diversify our institutional investor base, enhance liquidity, and elevate our global investment profile.”

She added, “It follows our recent inclusion in the MSCI Emerging Markets Index and reflects market confidence in our growth trajectory. With a robust pipeline of strategic projects, including $20 billion in planned capital expenditure, and a clear pathway to deliver over 40 per cent EBITDA growth by 2029 versus 2023, we remain committed to creating long-term, sustainable value for our shareholders.”

With greater exposure to institutional investors, Adnoc Gas expects increased liquidity, deeper market penetration, and enhanced stock visibility - further solidifying its position as a leading energy player in the global market.

Meanwhile in June Adnoc Gas has been added to the MSCI Emerging Markets Index, becoming the third Adnoc stock to join the global benchmark that includes the most prominent publicly listed companies from 24 emerging market countries.

Adnoc Gas will be the largest addition to the Index by market capitalisation and joins Adnoc Distribution and Adnoc Drilling which were added to the benchmark in 2021 and 2024, respectively. The company’s inclusion follows its successful $2.84 billion (Dhs10.3 billion) marketed offering of 3.1 billion shares in February, which increased the number of shares available to the public by 80 per cent and helped the stock successfully meet key eligibility criteria for entry into the Index.

This marks a significant milestone in the Adnoc Gas’s ongoing efforts to enhance its global investment profile, attract a broader and more diversified investor base and improve liquidity of its shares.

Through their inclusion in the MSCI Index, the three Adnoc Group companies collectively raise both Adnoc’s and the Abu Dhabi Securities Exchange’s (ADX) global investment profile, while enhancing liquidity in the UAE market and further cementing the UAE’s position as an attractive destination for foreign investment. As with Adnoc Distribution and Adnoc Drilling’s addition to the Index, Adnoc Gas experienced a surge in trading on the final day before its index inclusion, attracting $469 million (Dhs1.7 billion) in capital inflows.

The inclusion of Adnoc Gas in the Index also marks another milestone in Adnoc’s efforts to foster growth of the UAE’s capital market, which began in 2017 with the public listing of Adnoc Distribution on the ADX.
