Online gaming firm DigiPlus Interactive Corp. is set to join the 30-company Philippine Stock Exchange Index (PSEi) on Aug. 18, 2025.
DigiPlus will replace Bloomberry Resorts Corp. based on the regular index review conducted by the Philippine Stock Exchange.
China Bank Corp. managing director Juan Paolo Colet said the announcement put to rest the intense speculation on whether the country’s largest online gaming company would be added to the benchmark index.
“There was a lot of talk that PLUS would not make it, but ultimately the PSE rightly decided to keep to the letter of its index rules since it was clear that PLUS met the requirements as of the last review period,” Colet said.
“The decision ensures index policy predictability and stability,” he said.
Because of the recent drop in the DigiPlus’ share price due to calls for stricter regulation and ban versus online gaming operators, there were speculations this could affect the company’s chance of being included in the index.
DigiPlus chairman Eusebio Tanco, in a statement, welcomed the company’s inclusion.
“Joining the PSE Index is more than a corporate milestone for us at DigiPlus. It’s a powerful statement that homegrown Filipino companies can lead in the digital age,” Tanco said.
“We’ve created a new kind of digital entertainment company, one that doesn’t just catch up on trends, but pioneers platforms that resonate with real people,” he said.
The PSE reviews the top publicly-listed companies based on liquidity, market capitalization and free float level to consider securities for inclusion in PSE indices. Aside from these criteria, relevant financial benchmarks are also used in the index review.
The review for the rebalancing covered the period July 2024 to June 2025.
