Companies included in FTSE Russell's preliminary lists — Sharplink, Forward Industries, and Lantronix — stand to gain increased institutional visibility, potential passive inflows from index-tracking funds, and broader access to capital following the June 29, 2026 reconstitution.
Companies excluded from FTSE Russell's preliminary additions will not receive automatic index-tracking inflows tied to the June 29, 2026 reconstitution and may miss related increases in liquidity and institutional attention.
