AEVEX to be Added to the Russell 2000® Index in Annual Reconstitution

AEVEX Corp. (NYSE: AVEX), a leading provider of autonomous systems and mission autonomy solutions for U.S. and allied defense customers, today announced it will join the Russell 2000 Index following the 2026 Russell indexes annual reconstitution, effective after the U.S. market opens on June 29, 2026.

As part of the reconstitution, AEVEX will also be included in the associated Russell growth and value style indexes, as well as other applicable size and sector indexes that derive from its Russell 2000 membership.

Inclusion in the Russell 2000 is expected to broaden AEVEX’s visibility among institutional investors and investment managers that track or benchmark against Russell indexes, which are widely used across actively managed and index-based strategies.

The Russell 2000 Index measures the performance of approximately 2,000 small-cap U.S. public companies and is widely used by investment managers and institutional investors as a benchmark for actively managed and index-based investment strategies.
