Budget airline easyJet and online real estate platform Rightmove are expected to lose their places in London's premier FTSE 100 index in March, according to data from FTSE Russell.

They would be replaced by online trading platform IG Group Holdings and British real-estate investment trust Tritax Big Box REIT, FTSE Russell said. If confirmed, the companies will be joining the index for the first time.

The expected moves are based on the companies' share prices last Friday, and the official announcement would come after market close on Wednesday, March 4 based on their closing prices the day before.

EasyJet, which has seen its shares fall around 3% over the past three months, rejoined the index in March 2024 after a near four-year absence.

Rightmove joined the index for the first time in June 2018. Its shares have fallen 23% over the past three months.

IG Group and Tritax shares have each risen around 15% over the past three months.

The FTSE 100 is a share index of the 100 most highly capitalized companies listed on the London Stock Exchange. Any company that falls to the 111th position and below is automatically ejected from the index, while any firm that rises to occupy the 90th spot or above is automatically promoted.

FTSE Russell is owned by London Stock Exchange Group.
