Insights

Index Inclusion Specialist

PSIX's inclusion in Russell indexes signals improved market visibility and potential increased institutional investment.

Power Solutions International's preliminary inclusion in the Russell 3000®, Russell 2000®, and Russell Microcap® indexes represents a significant milestone for the company. This development, along with its recent addition to the MSCI US Small Cap Index, carries several important implications for investors.

When a company joins these prestigious indexes, it typically experiences enhanced visibility among institutional investors. Approximately $10.6 trillion in assets are benchmarked against Russell US indexes, meaning passive funds tracking these indexes will need to purchase PSIX shares to maintain proper weighting. This mandatory buying activity often creates positive price pressure and increased trading volume.

Beyond the immediate trading impact, index inclusion serves as external validation of the company's growth trajectory. The Russell indexes specifically capture the 4,000 largest US stocks based on market capitalization, indicating PSIX has reached a meaningful size threshold. Similarly, the MSCI US Small Cap Index represents approximately 14% of the free float-adjusted market capitalization in the US with 1,695 constituents.

For a specialized industrial manufacturer like PSI, which operates in niche markets (power systems, data centers, industrial engines), this broader market recognition potentially opens doors to a wider investor base. The final inclusion is expected after market open on June 30, 2025, giving investors time to position accordingly before index-tracking funds begin their rebalancing activities.

The company's diverse product portfolio spanning stationary power generation, data centers, industrial applications, and specialized transportation markets appears to be gaining traction, contributing to the market capitalization growth that qualified PSIX for these indexes.

WOOD DALE, Ill., June 09, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Power Solutions International, Inc. (the “Company” or “PSI”) (Nasdaq: PSIX), a leader in the design, engineering and manufacture of emission-certified engines and power systems, announced today that it has been tentatively named to the Russell 3000^®, Russell 2000^® and Russell Microcap^® indexes, according to a preliminary list of additions posted by FTSE Russell on June 6. Final inclusion is expected to take effect after the U.S. market opens on June 30, 2025. In addition to the Russell 3000^®, Russell 2000^® and Russell Microcap^® indexes, the company was added to the Morgan Stanley Capital International (MSCI) US Small Cap Index after the market opened on May 30.

The annual reconstitution of the Russell US indexes captures the 4,000 largest US stocks as of April 30, ranking them by total market capitalization. Membership in the Russell 3000^® Index, which remains in place for one year, means automatic inclusion in the large-cap Russell 1000 Index or small-cap Russell 2000 Index as well as the appropriate growth and value style indexes. FTSE Russell determines membership for its Russell indexes primarily by objective, market-capitalization rankings and style attributes.

Russell indexes are widely used by investment managers and institutional investors for index funds and as benchmarks for active investment strategies. According to data as of the end of June 2024, about $10.6 trillion in assets are benchmarked against the Russell US indexes, which belong to FTSE Russell, the global index provider.

The MSCI USA Small Cap Index is designed to measure the performance of the small cap segment of the US equity market. With 1,695 constituents, the index represents approximately 14% of the free float-adjusted market capitalization in the US.

“We are honored to be considered for the Russell 3000^®, Russell 2000^®, Russell Microcap^® indexes and the MSCI US Small Cap Index. These preliminary inclusions reflect the continued progress we’re making in strengthening our business and delivering value to our customers and shareholders,” said Dino Xykis, Chief Executive Officer of Power Solutions International. “This milestone highlights PSI’s growing presence in the power systems, data center products, and industrial engine markets, and we believe it will enhance our visibility with a broader base of institutional and retail investors as we continue executing on our strategic initiatives.”

Fiona Bassett, CEO of FTSE Russell, an LSEG business, comments:

“The Russell indexes have continuously adapted to the evolving dynamic US economy, and it’s crucial to fully recalibrate the suite of Russell US Indexes, ensuring the indexes maintain an accurate representation of the market. The transition to a semi-annual reconstitution frequency from 2026 will ensure our indexes continue to represent the market and maintain the purpose of the index as a portfolio benchmark.”
