Lennox International to join S&P 500, shares rise

Investing.com– Air conditioning maker Lennox International Inc (NYSE:LII) will join the S&P 500 from next week, S&P Dow Jones Indices said on Wednesday, sending its shares higher in aftermarket trade.

Lennox will replace biotechnology firm Catalent (NYSE:CTLT) after Novo Holdings completed its acquisition of the firm this week. The move will be effective from December 23. 

Lennox shares rose about 3% after the announcement. The stock is currently part of the S&P Midcap 400, and will be replaced in the index by financial software maker Bill Com Holdings Inc (NYSE:BILL). 

Bill surged over 6% in aftermarket trade following the announcement. 

Catalent’s inclusion in the S&P 500 is expected to attract more capital flows into the stock, especially from exchange-traded funds as they adjust their holdings to reflect the change. 

Lennox is trading up nearly 45% so far in 2024, compared to a 23.8% rise in the S&P 500. 

Inclusion in the S&P 500 is based on several key criteria, including having a market capital of at least $18 billion and having positive earnings for at least its most recent quarter.
