Falcon’s Beyond Global, Inc. (NASDAQ: FBYD) was announced today as a preliminary addition to the Russell 2000 Index, with final membership effective after the market close on December 22, 2025. The move places the company among the 2,000 largest U.S. public firms and is expected to increase its exposure to index‑tracking funds and improve share liquidity.
The inclusion follows a series of strategic growth initiatives, most notably the May 2025 acquisition of Oceaneering Entertainment Systems (OES). The OES deal expanded Falcon’s capabilities in advanced ride and show systems, strengthening its Attractions division and positioning the company to capture higher‑margin experiences in theme parks and resorts. The acquisition also broadened Falcon’s product portfolio and added a new revenue stream that complements its existing Creative, Destinations, and Brands units.
Falcon’s Beyond Global’s market capitalization stands at approximately $1.42 billion, with a 122% price return over the past year. The company’s gross profit margin of 79.9% reflects strong pricing power across its high‑margin content and technology segments. While the firm has not yet reported quarterly earnings, analysts anticipate that the index inclusion will support a higher valuation multiple and provide a platform for future capital‑raising initiatives.
CEO Cecil D. Magpuri emphasized that the Russell 2000 listing validates the company’s growth strategy and will broaden its investor base. “Being added to the Russell 2000 is a milestone that confirms our trajectory and will help us attract new capital and liquidity as we continue to invest in content, technology, and immersive experiences,” he said.
The announcement is expected to reinforce investor confidence in Falcon’s long‑term strategy, as the company continues to expand its creative and experiential offerings while leveraging its recent acquisitions to drive revenue growth and margin expansion.
