WeShop Added to Russell 3000® and Russell Microcap® Indexes
NEW YORK, June 29, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- WeShop Holdings Limited (“WeShop” or the “Company”) (NASDAQ: WSHP), the first community-owned social commerce platform, has been added to the broad U.S. market Russell 3000® Index as part of FTSE Russell’s annual reconstitution of its stock indexes, effective at the opening of U.S. markets today. In addition, WeShop has also been added to the Russell Microcap® Index, which measures the performance of the microcap segment of the U.S. equity market.
The June reconstitution of the Russell US indexes captures up to the 4,000 largest US stocks as of April 30, ranking them by total market capitalization. Membership in the Russell 3000® Index, which remains in place for half a year beginning 2026, 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.
“We are pleased to be included in the Russell 3000® and Russell Microcap® Indexes, which reflects the continued execution of our strategy and the growing recognition of WeShop’s market position,” said Maria Weaver, CEO of WeShop. “This milestone enhances our visibility among institutional investors and underscores our commitment to delivering long-term value for our shareholders.”
Russell indexes are widely used by investment managers and institutional investors for index funds and as benchmarks for active investment strategies. According to data as of the end of June 2025, approximately $12.2 trillion in assets are benchmarked against the Russell US indexes, which belong to FTSE Russell, the global index provider.
