Faraday Future Added to Russell 3000® and Russell Microcap® Indexes, Marking Key Milestone in Growth Trajectory
Faraday Future Intelligent Electric Inc. (“Faraday Future” or “FF”) a California-based global intelligent electric mobility company, has announced its official inclusion in the prestigious Russell 3000® Index and Russell Microcap® Index. The inclusion took effect with the market opening on June 30, 2025, following the annual reconstitution of the Russell indexes conducted by FTSE Russell.
This significant development represents a strategic milestone for Faraday Future, signaling growing investor recognition and confidence in the company’s long-term vision. The annual Russell reconstitution captures the largest 4,000 publicly traded U.S. companies as of the end of April, ranking them by total market capitalization. Faraday Future’s placement within both the Russell 3000® and Microcap® Indexes reflects its current market cap positioning, as well as its potential for continued growth and shareholder value creation.
Why Inclusion Matters: Exposure, Credibility, and Momentum
The Russell indexes are among the most widely tracked U.S. equity benchmarks by institutional investors, mutual funds, and index-tracking investment products. The Russell 3000® Index measures the performance of the largest 3,000 U.S. stocks and serves as the foundation for several derivative indexes, including the large-cap Russell 1000® and small-cap Russell 2000®. In addition, Faraday Future’s presence in the Russell Microcap® Index positions the company within a specific subset of emerging public firms with smaller capitalizations, providing added visibility to investors focused on growth opportunities in the innovation and early-stage segments of the public markets.
“Inclusion in these highly respected indexes validates our strategic roadmap and growing presence in the intelligent electric vehicle sector,” said Jerry Wang, Global President of Faraday Future. “Being part of the Russell 3000 and Microcap Indexes not only reflects the market’s recognition of our progress but also reinforces our commitment to delivering differentiated, premium, yet accessible EV experiences through our dual-brand strategy—Faraday Future and Faraday X.”
Faraday Future’s Dual-Brand Strategy: Elevating Innovation and Accessibility
Faraday Future has strategically positioned itself at the intersection of intelligent mobility, luxury performance, and shared ownership models. The company’s flagship vehicle, the FF 91 2.0 Futurist, has been central to its recent developments. Through the launch of Faraday X, FF aims to diversify its product offering by introducing more affordable electric mobility solutions while maintaining its commitment to high-tech innovation and advanced user experiences.
This dual-brand approach enables Faraday Future to serve both the ultra-luxury EV market and the broader premium segment, targeting a wide range of consumers while leveraging common technological platforms. As the company continues to evolve, it is focusing on developing a fully integrated, AI-powered vehicle ecosystem that combines connectivity, autonomous capabilities, and personalized mobility services.
Inclusion in the Russell indexes further strengthens this approach by expanding exposure to long-term institutional investors and equity analysts who track these benchmarks. This enhanced visibility can support Faraday Future in accessing capital markets more efficiently and attracting strategic partners aligned with its growth mission.
Understanding the Russell Indexes and the Reconstitution Process
FTSE Russell, a leading global index provider and subsidiary of the London Stock Exchange Group (LSEG), manages the Russell indexes. The annual reconstitution process is one of the most important events in the U.S. equity market calendar. Every year in late June, FTSE Russell refreshes the composition of its indexes to reflect the latest market conditions, based on objective criteria such as market capitalization and liquidity.
Companies are evaluated as of April 30 and must meet eligibility requirements for inclusion. Once selected, constituents remain in their respective indexes for a full year, unless specific corporate actions or delistings occur. Faraday Future’s addition signifies its successful positioning within the broader U.S. equities landscape and provides assurance to the investment community of the company’s stability, liquidity, and compliance with exchange standards.
The Russell 3000® Index encompasses nearly 98% of the U.S. equity market by capitalization, while the Microcap® Index includes the smallest 1,000 companies within the broader Russell universe. As of 2025, approximately $18.1 trillion in assets are benchmarked to Russell indexes, with index funds, ETFs, and institutional portfolios closely tracking or replicating their performance.
A Positive Signal for Shareholders and Investors
Inclusion in these indexes brings a host of potential benefits for Faraday Future and its stakeholders. From a capital markets perspective, index inclusion typically leads to increased liquidity, reduced volatility, and a broader investor base. Passive investment funds that replicate the Russell indexes are now expected to add Faraday Future’s shares to their holdings, providing incremental demand and potentially enhancing price stability.
Furthermore, institutional investors who benchmark their performance against these indexes are more likely to track, evaluate, or engage with companies included in them. This could result in greater analyst coverage, deeper capital access, and enhanced credibility in the investment community.
From a branding and visibility standpoint, Faraday Future gains association with some of the most innovative and dynamic companies in the market. As electric mobility continues to gain traction globally, particularly in the premium and high-tech segments, being part of such indexes helps reinforce the company’s leadership position and appeal to ESG-focused and tech-savvy investors.
Driving Forward: Innovation, Execution, and Long-Term Growth
Faraday Future’s journey over the past few years has involved significant transformation—from development milestones and production launches to leadership enhancements and operational restructuring. The company has focused on redefining what it means to own a smart, connected electric vehicle in the premium space. Through vertical integration of hardware, software, and mobility services, Faraday Future is building a holistic ecosystem that supports long-term user engagement and sustainability.
In parallel, the company is pursuing global partnerships and expanding its influence in both the U.S. and overseas markets, with eyes on the fast-growing EV segments in China, the Middle East, and Europe. Its recent progress on AI integration, ultra-luxury personalization, and user co-creation models reflect a future-facing strategy focused on continuous evolution.
Looking ahead, inclusion in the Russell 3000® and Microcap® Indexes is expected to amplify these efforts by aligning the company more closely with institutional frameworks that prioritize innovation, governance, and long-term value.
