Index Composition Changes in the Euro Stoxx 50
The Euro Stoxx 50 index underwent its annual review on 2 September 2026, resulting in a change of constituents. Volkswagen AG’s preferred shares were removed from the index effective 21 September 2026. The removal was announced by STOXX on 1 September 2026 and confirmed in subsequent press releases.
In place of Volkswagen, the Finnish telecommunications company Nokia Oy and the French energy firm Engie S.A. were added to the index. The inclusion of these two companies was announced on 2 September 2026 by the Deutsche Börse‑tied subsidiary ISS STOXX. The change reflects the performance and market‑capitalisation thresholds required for the Euro Stoxx 50 constituents.
The index’s closing level on 2 September 2026 was 6 382,59 points, well below the 52‑week high of 6 577,20 recorded on 11 August 2026 and above the 52‑week low of 5 324,66 recorded on 7 September 2025. The removal of Volkswagen and the addition of Nokia and Engie are expected to slightly shift the index’s sector representation, particularly reducing automotive exposure and increasing presence in telecommunications and energy sectors.
No other significant changes to the index were reported in the available news sources for this period.
