Navigator Gas (NVGS) Joins the Russell 3000 and Russell 2000 Indexes
LONDON, June 30, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Navigator Holdings Ltd. (described herein as “Navigator Gas” or the “Company”) (NYSE: NVGS), the owner and operator of the world’s largest fleet of handysize liquefied gas carriers, announces today that that the Company has been added to the broad-market Russell 3000 Index (the “Russell 3000”) and the small-cap Russell 2000 Index (the “Russell 2000”), effective after the US market opens on June 30, as part of the 2025 Russell indexes reconstitution.
The Russell 3000 is an equity index that includes the largest 3,000 U.S. public companies by market capitalization. The Russell 2000 is a subset of the broader Russell 3000 that is limited to small-cap companies. The indexes are reconstituted annually by re-ranking companies based on total market capitalization as of the reconstitution rank date, which was April 30, 2025 this year. Index membership results in automatic inclusion in the relevant growth and value style indexes. FTSE Russell determines membership for its Russell indexes primarily by objective, market-capitalization rankings, and style attributes.
Mads Peter Zacho, Chief Executive Officer, commented:
“Our inclusion in the Russell 3000 and Russell 2000 is a significant milestone for Navigator Gas and represents a significant validation of our consistent earnings growth as well as our commitment to safe and reliable operations. We're proud of our team's focus on delivering value to shareholders, and we believe this positive development will further help us expand our shareholder base as well as increase our daily trading liquidity.”
Russell U.S. Indexes are widely used by investment managers and institutional investors as the basis for index funds and as benchmarks for investment strategies. Approximately $10.6 trillion in assets are benchmarked against Russell U.S. indexes.
