An update from Pilbara Minerals ( (AU:PLS) ) is now available.
S&P Dow Jones Indices has announced its March 2026 quarterly rebalance of the S&P/ASX indices, with several notable inclusions and exclusions across the 20, 50, 100, 200 and 300 benchmarks. The reshuffle elevates Northern Star Resources into the S&P/ASX 20 at the expense of Santos, while Light & Wonder and PLS Group join the S&P/ASX 50, reflecting shifting sector dynamics in the Australian equity market.
Further changes see gold miners Greatland Resources, Regis Resources and Westgold Resources added to the S&P/ASX 100, while Lendlease, Netwealth and Pinnacle are removed, underscoring the stronger relative performance of resources stocks. Additional adjustments across the S&P/ASX 200 and 300 bring in a raft of smaller resource, technology and infrastructure names, moves that are likely to drive portfolio reweighting by index-tracking funds ahead of the March 23 effective date.
The most recent analyst rating on (AU:PLS) stock is a Hold with a A$2.50 price target. To see the full list of analyst forecasts on Pilbara Minerals stock, see the AU:PLS Stock Forecast page.
