SET to impose Caution-Free Float (CF) signs on 17 listed companies

The Stock Exchange of Thailand (SET) plans to impose Caution-Free Float (CF) signs on 17 listed companies that do not meet the free-float requirements. This means they have fewer minor shareholders than the specified criteria, potentially affecting stock liquidity and causing price fluctuations.

Wrapping up

• ⚠️ Caution-Free Float (CF) Signs: The Stock Exchange of Thailand (SET) will impose CF signs on 17 listed companies that do not meet the free-float requirement. This means that investors should be cautious when trading these stocks, as they may be more volatile than other stocks.
