WLFC
September 21, 2025
Willis Lease Finance Corporation was added to several Russell Growth Indices, including the Russell 2000 Growth, Russell 2500 Growth, Russell 3000 Growth, Russell 3000E Growth, Russell Small Cap Comp Growth, and Russell Microcap Growth Indices, with the earliest effective date being June 29, 2025. This significant reclassification reflects a shift in market perception, recognizing WLFC's growth potential within the aviation sector. Inclusion in these prominent growth indices can lead to increased visibility and passive investment from funds that track these benchmarks. Concurrently, WLFC was dropped from the Russell 2000 Defensive Index and the Russell 2000 Value-Defensive Index on June 30, 2025. This rebalancing indicates a strategic repositioning of the company within the broader market indices, emphasizing its growth trajectory over a defensive classification.
