Lantronix Inc. (NASDAQ:LTRX), a global provider of Edge AI and Industrial IoT solutions that power NDAA-compliant unmanned systems, critical infrastructure and resilient enterprise networks, today announced that the Company has been included in the preliminary list of additions to the Russell 3000® Index as part of the 2026 Russell indexes reconstitution, according to a preliminary list published by FTSE Russell after the U.S. market close on Friday, May 22, 2026.

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.

"Our preliminary inclusion in the Russell 3000 Index reflects the meaningful progress we have made repositioning Lantronix toward higher-growth, higher-value end markets," said Saleel Awsare, chief executive officer at Lantronix. "We believe this milestone will help broaden our visibility within the investment community as we continue executing our strategy to drive sustainable, long-term shareholder value."

The Russell U.S. Indexes are widely used by investment managers and institutional investors for index funds and as benchmarks for active investment strategies. According to FTSE Russell, approximately $10.6 trillion in assets are benchmarked against Russell U.S. indexes.
