Syntec Optics (NASDAQ:OPTX), a leading innovator in defense tech, space tech, and biomedical tech, announced today that it has been selected for inclusion in the Russell 3000® Index as part of the 2026 annual reconstitution. This inclusion will become effective after the U.S. market closes on June 26, 2026. Syntec is set to be added to the widely followed U.S. equity index family. 

Inclusion in the Russell 3000® Index typically means membership in either the large-cap Russell 1000® Index or the small-cap Russell 2000® Index. When the company is added to the Russell 3000, it automatically becomes part of these benchmark indexes and the corresponding Growth or Value style sub-indexes, based on its fundamental metrics.

Investors can follow updates expected from FTSE Russell on June 5, June 12, and June 18.
