FTSE Russell

words.Falcon’s Beyond Global, Inc. (Nasdaq: FBYD) has been added to FTSE Russell’s preliminary Russell 2000 list, with final inclusion slated after the index’s December 22, 2025 reconstitution. CEO Cecil D. Magpuri says the listing validates the company’s growth and should broaden its investor base, improve liquidity, and raise visibility. The move aligns with the rapidly expanding $200 billion immersive‑entertainment market, leveraging the firm’s creative‑design, destination‑development, and brand‑licensing model alongside proprietary MR, real‑time rendering and AI‑driven analytics to monetize IP across physical and digital channels. Inclusion may also facilitate future capital‑raising efforts.

The inclusion is projected to take effect on December 22, 2025, pending the completion of FTSE Russell’s standard review procedures. Membership will also include USAR in the Russell 3000 Index and style indexes. Russell indexes are widely used by investment managers and as the basis for index-linked investment products.
