SPK Regulation Leads to Decrease in Free Float Ratio of 138 Companies

A new regulation by the Capital Markets Board (SPK) has resulted in a decrease in the free float ratios of 138 companies listed on the exchange. This change affects the market value of companies' publicly traded shares and has drawn the attention of investors. Under the regulation, the free float ratios of companies that do not meet certain criteria have been recalculated. The free float ratio, which represents the proportion of a company's publicly traded shares to its total capital, is important in terms of liquidity. The decline in ratios may impact the market depth and trading volume of some shares. The SPK's move aims to increase market transparency and strengthen investor protection. However, it is noted that the regulation may cause volatility in some shares in the short term, particularly in companies with low free float ratios, where price movements are expected to be more pronounced. Investors are advised to assess the potential impact of these changes on their portfolios and monitor the updated free float ratios. It is expected that the SPK will continue to improve the market structure with similar regulations in the future. This is not an investment advice.
