Duolingo (DUOL) has been announced as the replacement for Cable One (CABO) in the S&P MidCap 400 index by Dow Jones S&P Indices. This change will take effect before the opening of the market on Monday, April 22. As a result, Cable One will replace M.D.C. Holdings (MDC) in the S&P SmallCap 600 index.
The news led to an increase in both Duolingo and Cable One’s stock prices overnight, with Duolingo’s stock price rising by more than 6%, indicating a movement towards its 50-day moving average. On the other hand, Cable One’s stock is expected to benefit from the change as more funds track the S&P SmallCap 600, resulting in a 2.9% increase in its stock price during late trading.
Japan’s Sekisui House is preparing to finalize its acquisition of homebuilder MDC. Investors may want to keep an eye on these developments to make informed decisions about their investments.
