About the DAX 40
STOXX, part of Deutsche Börse Group, maintains the DAX 40, the benchmark for major companies listed on the Frankfurt Stock Exchange. Entry is largely rules-driven, with ranking based on free-float market capitalization and requirements covering trading, listing and financial reporting. Since the 2021 reform, new candidates have also faced a profitability screen based on positive EBITDA in their two most recent annual financial statements.
Regular reviews are held in March and September, with additional fast-entry and fast-exit checks in June and December. Review results are usually made public earlier in the month; scheduled changes generally become effective after the third Friday's close. Corporate actions can still lead to changes outside that rhythm. Exact dates should be checked against each published index notice rather than guessed from a typical lead time.
EXS1 and other DAX ETFs such as DBXD and XDAX follow the benchmark. A fast-entry rule can bring a large new listing into focus without waiting for a full semi-annual review. DAX inclusion is also different from US committee selection: the free-float ranking and review rules matter directly. The returns below describe tracked stock moves, not a causal estimate of the buying required by those funds.

How DAX 40 additions work
STOXX reviews the DAX semi-annually in March and September, with quarterly fast-entry/fast-exit checks in June and December. Changes take effect after the close on the third Friday of the review month. A change is announced first and only takes effect after the close on the effective date. Between those two dates, every fund tracking the index (EXS1, DBXD, XDAX) has to buy the incoming stock, which is why the window matters to traders.
What happens to a stock after it joins DAX 40
Inclusion is often described as a guaranteed pop. The tracked history is more mixed: . Returns are measured from the effective close and can also be viewed against the index itself, so a rising market doesn't get counted as an inclusion effect.
When are DAX 40 changes announced?
Semi-annual review (Mar / Sep) + quarterly fast-entry checks. Scheduled review, announcement and effective dates for the next twelve months are listed on the index review calendar. Ad hoc changes — a takeover, a bankruptcy, a fast-track promotion — are announced outside that schedule, usually with a few days' notice.
