Applied Industrial Technologies announced its reclassification across several Russell indices, effective June 30, 2025. The company was added to the Russell Midcap Value Index, Russell 3000 Value Index, Russell 1000 Value-Defensive Index, Russell 2500 Value Index, Russell 1000 Defensive Index, Russell 1000 Value Index, Russell 3000E Value Index, and Russell Midcap Index. This indicates a shift in its market categorization.
Concurrently, AIT was dropped from the Russell 2000 Growth-Defensive Index, Russell 3000 Growth Index, Russell 2000 Defensive Index, Russell Small Cap Comp Growth Index, and Russell 2000 Growth Index. This rebalancing reflects a change in how the company is classified by Russell. The shift moves AIT from smaller-cap growth-oriented indices to larger-cap value-oriented ones.
This reclassification can influence institutional investment strategies and fund allocations, as many passive and active funds track these indices. The move into larger-cap and value-focused indices suggests a maturing profile and potentially increased visibility among a broader investor base. This change reflects AIT's evolving market capitalization and investment characteristics.
