VIAVI Solutions Inc. was added to several Russell Growth indices on June 30, 2025, including the Russell 2000 Growth Index, Russell 2500 Growth Index, and Russell Small Cap Comp Growth Index. Concurrently, the company was dropped from various Russell Value indices, such as the Russell 2000 Value-Defensive Index, Russell 3000E Value Index, Russell 3000 Value Index, Russell 2500 Value Index, and Russell Small Cap Comp Value Index.
These changes reflect a rebalancing within the Russell family of indices, which are widely used benchmarks for institutional investors. The reclassification of VIAVI from value-oriented to growth-oriented indices suggests a shift in market perception regarding the company's future growth prospects. This can be a significant factor for passive investment funds that track these specific indices, as they adjust their portfolios accordingly.
The inclusion in growth indices indicates that the market views VIAVI as a company with higher expected earnings growth and potentially higher valuations. This reclassification can influence investor sentiment and capital allocation, as it signals a recognition of VIAVI's strategic initiatives and market positioning in high-growth areas like AI-driven data centers, Open RAN, and Positioning, Navigation, and Timing (PNT) solutions.
