SAN JOSE, Calif., June 29, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Energous Corporation d/b/a Energous Wireless Power Solutions (Nasdaq: WATT), a pioneer in over-the-air wireless power networks, today announced it has been added as a member of the Russell 3000 and Russell 2000 Indexes, effective with the opening of US markets today, as part of the 2026 Russell indexes reconstitution.
The June reconstitution of the Russell US indexes captures up to 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 half a year beginning 2026, 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 2025, about $12.2 trillion in assets are benchmarked against the Russell US indexes, which belong to FTSE Russell, the global index provider.
Mallorie Burak, CEO and CFO of Energous, stated, "Inclusion in the Russell Indexes is a meaningful milestone that reflects the commercial and financial transformation Energous has undergone. Over the past several years, we have moved from technological development to active production deployments with some of the largest enterprises in the world, and the market is now recognizing that progress. We believe Russell Index inclusion will expand our visibility with a broader institutional investor audience and introduce the Energous story to investors who may not yet have followed our journey."
