what happened
Stephens estimates that 83 companies may leave the small-cap Russell 2000 index after the U.S. market closes on December 11. It is the first December reconstitution by FTSE Russell under its new semi-annual schedule. The projections are based on market data as of October 22.
Most of the exits, 76 companies, reflect market capitalizations that have fallen below the index floor. Seven other stocks are moving in the opposite direction, graduating to the Russell 1000: UMB Financial, Oscar Health, BrightSpring Health Services, Glaukos, Vaxcyte, Moog and JFrog.
why it matters
Funds that track the Russell 2000 will need to sell the departing stocks and buy the newcomers in the final trading days of the year. The list reflects October data, so the final lineup could change noticeably.
