Digital entertainment group DigiPlus Interactive Corp has announced that it has secured a spot on the UK’s Financial Times Stock Exchange 100 Index (FTSE) All-Cap Index and Total-Cap Index.
According to an announcement on social media, the changes take effect at the close of March 21st of this year.
The company noted that the company has ‘advanced from the FTSE Microcap Index in 2024, marking a significant step in its market positioning’.
In February of 2024, the company announced that it was going to be included in the Microcap segment of the FTSE Global Equity Index Series, with the group’s President Andy Tsui noting at the time that the inclusion was “a testament to our commitment to shareholder value and team dedication, reinforcing our robust business model”.
The inclusion was aimed at increasing the company’s visibility as well as its investor base.
DigiPlus has been prominent in the news recently, after announcing it would begin its Brazilian gaming operations with sports betting, with activities expected to launch by the end of the year.
The group also recently clarified that a new capex allocation of PHP3 billion ($52 million) for 2025 for expansion plans does not include funding for potential new investments in other markets, but does include investments in its Brazil operations. The company had already allocated PHP660 million ($11.4 million) to cover initial costs – such as licensing fees, capitalization, financial reserves and other operational expenses for the first three months of its operations in Brazil.
