"the Company has been added to the Russell 2000® Index as part"

A stock-market benchmark that tracks about 2,000 small-cap U.S. companies, the Russell 2000 gives a snapshot of how smaller publicly traded firms are performing. Investors use it like a thermometer or yardstick for the small-company segment of the market—funds and portfolio managers compare returns to it, and its movements can signal changes in economic risk appetite or growth expectations; it is weighted so larger small companies have a bigger influence on the index.

russell 3000 index financial

"Membership in the index also results in automatic inclusion in the Russell 3000® Index"

A broad stock market index that tracks the performance of the roughly 3,000 largest publicly traded U.S. companies by total market value, representing almost the entire U.S. equity market. Investors use it like a big basket or thermometer: it provides a simple snapshot of overall U.S. stock market health, serves as a benchmark for funds and portfolios, and helps measure diversification, risk and returns over time.

ftse russell u.s. indexes financial

"as part of the 2026 FTSE Russell U.S. Indexes annual reconstitution"

FTSE Russell U.S. indexes are a family of stock market benchmarks that track the performance of groups of U.S. publicly traded companies, organized by size, sector or investment style. Think of them as rule-based scoreboards that show how specific slices of the U.S. market are doing; investors use them to compare fund performance, build index-tracking investments, and measure market trends that affect portfolio decisions.

small-cap financial

"The Russell 2000 Index measures the performance of approximately 2,000 small-cap U.S. companies"

Small-cap describes publicly traded companies with a relatively low total market value, measured by multiplying their share price by the number of shares outstanding — think of them as smaller boats in a large investment fleet. They matter to investors because they often offer greater growth potential than bigger firms but also come with higher price swings, lower trading volume, and therefore greater risk and potential difficulty buying or selling shares.
