ORLANDO, Fla. (BUSINESS WIRE) — Falcon’s Beyond Global, Inc. (Nasdaq: FBYD) (“Falcon’s Beyond”, “Falcon’s” or the “Company”), a pioneer in immersive storytelling and experience‑driven entertainment, announced today that it has been placed on the preliminary list for inclusion in the Russell 2000® Index, as disclosed by FTSE Russell on November 19, 2025. The final determination is expected after the Russell U.S. Indexes are reconstituted following the market close on December 22, 2025.
“Being named to the Russell 2000 is a strong endorsement of the growth trajectory we’ve built,” said Cecil D. Magpuri, Chief Executive Officer of Falcon’s Beyond. “The addition should broaden our investor base, improve liquidity, and give us greater visibility as we continue to execute on our long‑term shareholder‑value strategy.”
The Russell 2000 membership lasts one year and is refreshed annually during the index’s reconstitution process. Because the index is a core benchmark for a wide range of active and passive funds, inclusion typically drives incremental demand from index‑tracking vehicles and can tighten the share price spread.
From a commercial perspective, the move positions Falcon’s Beyond to capture a larger share of the rapidly expanding immersive‑entertainment market, which analysts estimate will exceed $200 billion worldwide by 2028. The company’s three‑pronged operating model—creative design, destination development, and brand licensing—aligns with the sector’s shift toward integrated physical‑digital experiences and recurring‑revenue streams such as licensing fees, subscription‑based content, and location‑based attractions.
Technologically, Falcon’s Beyond has been investing in proprietary real‑time rendering pipelines, mixed‑reality (MR) platforms, and data‑driven audience analytics. These capabilities not only enhance the quality of its attractions but also generate valuable IP that can be monetized across multiple channels, from theme parks to streaming services. As the industry embraces AI‑generated content and sensor‑fusion interaction, the company’s early adoption of these tools could provide a competitive moat and improve margins on future projects.
Inclusion in the Russell 2000 may also accelerate capital‑raising opportunities. Asset managers that benchmark against the index often incorporate newly added constituents into dedicated funds, potentially increasing institutional ownership and providing a more stable shareholder foundation for future equity offerings.
