SME-to-mainboard migration rate drops on tighter listing rules and recent IPO boom

The rate at which small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) move from the main board to the main market has slowed down. This shift is happening because listing rules have become stricter and there is a high volume of new companies entering the market through IPOs. Consequently, fewer companies are currently completing the necessary steps to upgrade their status.
This trend matters for investors because it creates a diverse mix of listings. While the migration rate is lower, the sheer number of new IPOs means the market is still seeing a steady flow of fresh companies. Investors should monitor how these new listings perform and whether the stricter rules lead to higher quality standards for companies seeking to upgrade their status.
