Firefly Neuroscience to be Added to the Russell Microcap® Index
– Comes less than a year after listing on Nasdaq –
KENMORE, N.Y., June 23, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Firefly Neuroscience, Inc. (“Firefly” or the “Company”) (NASDAQ: AIFF), an Artificial Intelligence (“AI”) company developing innovative solutions that improve brain health outcomes for patients with neurological and mental disorders, today announced that it will be added to the Russell Microcap® Index as part of this year’s reconstitution. The additions will be made effective after the U.S. market opens on June 30, 2025.
Russell indexes are widely used by investment managers and institutional investors for index funds and as benchmarks for active investment strategies. Russell 's U.S. indexes serve as the benchmark for approximately $10.6 trillion in assets as of the close of June 2024. Russell indexes are part of FTSE Russell, the global index provider.
“Being included among the companies that comprise the Russell indexes is a major milestone for Firefly, which we believe reflects the significant progress we have made since completing our reverse merger and listing on Nasdaq less than a year ago,” said Greg Lipschitz, CEO of Firefly. “So far in 2025 alone, we have: discovered a breakthrough cognitive brain age biomarker using our FDA-cleared BNA™ Platform; been accepted into the prestigious NVIDIA Connect program; achieved multi-fold database, IP portfolio, and commercial footprint expansion through our acquisition of Evoke Neuroscience; and, uncovered a powerful new way of objectively distinguishing between subjective cognitive decline, mild cognitive impairment, and dementia in Alzheimer’s patients.”
Mr. Lipschitz added, “Moving forward, our membership in the Russell Microcap® Index should increase our visibility among both institutional and retail investors at a pivotal time as we continue to execute our growth plans and work to achieve the many potential value-creating milestones we see ahead.”
Each index within the Russell U.S. Indexes is reconstituted each year to capture the 4,000 largest U.S. stocks as of April 30, ranking them by total market capitalization and grouping them according to certain criteria. Membership in the Russell Microcap® 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 rankings, and style attributes.
