Precision BioSciences Announces Inclusion in the Russell 2000® Index Expanding Market Visibility with Institutional Investors
Precision BioSciences, Inc. (Nasdaq: DTIL), a clinical stage gene editing company utilizing its novel proprietary ARCUS® platform to develop in vivo gene editing therapies for high unmet need diseases, today announced its addition to the Russell 2000® Index, effective at the close of U.S. equity markets on June 26, 2026, according to the final list of additions published by FTSE Russell.
The annual reconstitution of the Russell U.S. indexes ranks eligible U.S. stocks by total market capitalization. Membership in the Russell 2000® Index, which remains in place for one year, means automatic inclusion in the appropriate growth and value style indexes. FTSE Russell determines membership for its Russell indexes primarily by objective, market-capitalization-based rules. The newly reconstituted Russell U.S. Indexes are expected to commence trading at the market open on Monday, June 29, 2026.
"Being added to the Russell 2000 Index broadens our visibility with institutional investors at a pivotal time for Precision BioSciences," said Alex Kelly, Chief Financial Officer of Precision BioSciences. "We are advancing two wholly owned clinical programs, PBGENE-HBV in chronic hepatitis B and PBGENE-DMD in Duchenne muscular dystrophy, with a cash runway supporting our operations through 2028."
