LightPath Technologies Joins Russell 3000 and 2000 Indexes

Orlando-based optics manufacturer LightPath Technologies officially joined the Russell 3000 and Russell 2000 indexes as of the market open on June 29, 2026. The inclusion follows the annual reconstitution of FTSE Russell’s US equity benchmarks, which rank the largest domestic companies by market capitalization.

The transition marks a significant milestone for the firm, which specializes in infrared optics and imaging systems for defense and commercial sectors. Membership in the Russell 3000 automatically secures the company a spot in the small-cap Russell 2000 index, along with various growth and value style benchmarks. FTSE Russell selects these constituents based on objective market-capitalization data and specific style attributes.

President and CEO Sam Rubin stated that the move reflects the company’s recent business expansion and its role as a provider of infrared optics to the United States and its allies. Management expects the shift to increase institutional visibility and improve trading liquidity. With approximately $12.2 trillion in assets benchmarked against the Russell US indexes as of June 2025, the indices serve as primary trackers for both active investment strategies and passive index funds.
