New York, November 12, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — The global business intelligence platform Criteo (Nasdaq ticker: CRTO, hereinafter referred to as “Criteo” or “the Company”) announced today that it has been included in the MSCI Global Investable Markets Index (MSCI Global Investable Market Indexes). According to a statement from MSCI, this inclusion will take effect after the close of trading on November 30, 2026.
The company stated that following the completion of the relocation to Luxembourg, this inclusion marks an important milestone for Criteo in the capital markets and strengthens its image in the public market. Within the broader MSCI global investable market index system, Criteo is expected to be included in multiple global and US indices. The company believes that this will likely increase the visibility of Criteo among institutional investors and create opportunities for it to expand its shareholder base over time.
"Criteo being included in the MSCI index for the first time represents an important step in our evolution as a listed company. We believe this is also one of the early benefits of the registration process," said Connor McGogney, Chief Financial Officer of Criteo. "We will continue to focus on rigorous execution and advance our global business intelligence platform strategy to drive long-term value for shareholders."
MSCI is an important provider in the global index field, and its indices are widely tracked by institutional investors and passive funds around the world as investment benchmarks. Criteo refers to the arrangement to transfer the company's legal registration from Luxembourg to the United States after relocating its domicile there. This process is expected to be completed on January 1, 2027, but it still requires shareholder approval and fulfillment of other customary conditions.
