Gaia to Join Russell 2000 Index

BOULDER, Colo., June 23, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Gaia, Inc. (NASDAQ:GAIA), a conscious media and community company, is announcing that it expects to join the Russell 2000® Index, effective after the U.S. market opens on June 30, 2025, as part of the 2025 Russell indexes reconstitution.

The annual reconstitution of the Russell US indexes captures the 4,000 largest US stocks as of April 30^th, ranking them by total market capitalization. Membership in the Russell 3000® Index, which remains in place for one year, 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.

"We are honored to be included in the Russell 2000 Index, a significant milestone that reflects our strong performance and continued growth," said Ned Preston, Gaia's Chief Financial Officer. "This recognition enhances our visibility among institutional investors and underscores the value we're creating for our shareholders, customers, and employees. We remain focused on executing our strategy and delivering long-term value as we continue to scale."

Russell indexes are widely used by investment managers and institutional investors for index funds and as benchmarks for active investment strategies. According to data as of the end of June 2024, about $10.6 trillion in assets are benchmarked against the Russell US indexes, which belong to FTSE Russell, the global index provider.
