Nikkei Inc. compiled a draft revision of the Nikkei 225 rules on May 18, which includes changes to sector classifications, the creation of a new information and communications sector, and the introduction of intra-sector replacement rules. A final decision is expected by the end of July, with the new rules set to take effect from the September regular review. Based on these proposed changes, the brokerage forecasts the replacement of three stocks. It lists JX Advanced Metals Corporation <5016>, KOKUSAI ELECTRIC CORPORATION <6525>, and FOOD & LIFE COMPANIES LTD. <3563> as candidates for inclusion, while naming Tokuyama Corporation <4043>, Kanadevia Corporation <7004>, and ARCHION <543A> as candidates for deletion.
