Eyenovia Announces Addition to Russell 2000® and Russell 3000® Indexes
NEW YORK, June 26, 2023 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Eyenovia, Inc. (NASDAQ: EYEN), a commercial-stage ophthalmic technology company preparing for the launch of Mydcombi™ (tropicamide+phenylephrine ophthalmic spray for mydriasis) and developing the Optejet® device for use both in connection with its own drug-device therapeutic product candidates for presbyopia and pediatric progressive myopia as well as out-licensing for additional indications, today announced that the company was added to the small cap Russell 2000® and broad market Russell 3000® Indexes effective today.
Annual Russell indexes reconstitution captures the 4,000 largest US stocks as of April 28, ranking them by total market capitalization. Membership in the US all cap 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.
“Our addition into the widely followed Russell Indexes is another important milestone reflecting the significant progress we have made in advancing our ophthalmic delivery platform,” stated Michael Rowe, chief executive officer of Eyenovia. “As we continue to deliver on our Optejet platform programs, including the recently approved Mydcombi™ for mydriasis, we look forward to enhanced visibility that will result from our inclusion in the Russell Indexes.”
Russell indexes are widely used by investment managers and institutional investors for index funds and as benchmarks for active investment strategies. Approximately $12.1 trillion in assets are benchmarked against Russell’s US indexes. Russell indexes are part of FTSE Russell, a leading global index provider.
