WEST LAFAYETTE, Ind., June 07, 2021 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Inotiv, Inc. (NASDAQ:NOTV) (the “Company”, “We”, “Our” or “Inotiv”), a leading contract research organization specializing in nonclinical and analytical drug discovery and development services, today announced that the Company is set to join the broad-market Russell 3000® Index and Russell 2000® Index at the conclusion of the 2021 Russell indexes annual reconstitution, effective after the U.S. markets open on June 28, 2021, according to a preliminary list of additions posted June 4, 2021.
The annual Russell indexes reconstitution captures the 4,000 largest U.S. stocks as of May 7, 2021, ranking them by total market capitalization. Membership in the U.S. 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.
Robert Leasure, Jr., Inotiv’s President and Chief Executive Officer, said, “Inotiv’s inclusion on the preliminary list of additions to the Russell 3000® Index is a positive milestone, reflecting our success building a comprehensive suite of research solutions across the drug discovery and pre-clinical development continuum. We believe that inclusion in the Russell indices may generate greater institutional investor awareness of our growth opportunity.”
Russell indexes are widely used by investment managers and institutional investors for index funds and as benchmarks for active investment strategies. Approximately $10.6 trillion in assets are benchmarked against Russell’s U.S. indexes. Russell indexes are part of FTSE Russell, a leading global index provider.
