On June 30, 2025, Aspen Aerogels, Inc. was removed from several prominent Russell indices. These removals include the Russell Microcap Growth Index, Russell 3000E Growth Index, Russell 2500 Growth Index, Russell 2000 Growth Index, Russell 3000 Growth Index, and Russell Small Cap Comp Growth Index.
Inclusion in these indices is important for companies as it often leads to passive investment from funds that track these benchmarks. The removal from multiple indices can trigger forced selling by such funds, potentially impacting the company's stock liquidity and trading volume.
This change in index membership may also reduce Aspen Aerogels' visibility among institutional investors who rely on index inclusion for their investment mandates. The broader implications could include a shift in the company's investor base and reduced institutional interest.
