Teleflex to replace PG&E in the S&P 500 on Friday
Teleflex Inc. , a single-use medical devices company, will replace PG&E Corp. in the S&P 500 effective Jan. 18, the S&P Dow Jones Indices announced Tuesday. The changes come as PG&E indicated its intention to file for Chapter 11 bankruptcy later this month and is no longer eligible for inclusion in the large-cap index. Meanwhile, Green Dot Corp. , a personal finance company, will take Teleflex's spot in the S&P MidCap 400 while Mercer International Inc. will replace Green Dot in the S&P SmallCap 600 ahead of Friday's opening.
