S&P Dow Jones Indices is considering rule changes to accelerate index entry for megacap companies.

One proposal reduces the required trading period from 12 months to six months.

The subsidiary may also waive the Financial Viability Criteria for these large-scale listings.

The provider is exploring the removal of the 0.10 minimum Investible Weight Factor (IWF) requirement.

These changes align with U.S. regulatory efforts to simplify the initial public offering process.

A public consultation period on the proposals remains open until May 28, 2026.
