MRC Global Inc. was dropped from the Russell 2000 Defensive Index on June 30, 2025. This change is part of the annual rebalancing process for the Russell family of indices, which can affect the composition of various investment funds.
Concurrently, the company was also removed from the Russell 2000 Value-Defensive Index. Inclusion or exclusion from such indices can influence institutional investment flows, as many passive funds are mandated to hold stocks that are part of their benchmark indices.
These adjustments reflect changes in market capitalization, style characteristics, and other criteria used by Russell to classify companies within its indices. The removal from these indices may lead to adjustments in portfolio holdings by funds tracking these benchmarks.
