NeOnc Technologies Holdings, Inc. Joins Russell Microcap® Index

By: via GlobeNewswire

CALABASSAS, Calif., July 09, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- NeOnc Technologies Holdings, Inc. (NASDAQ: NTHI), a clinical-stage biopharmaceutical company focused on innovative treatments for central nervous system (CNS) cancers and disorders, has joined the Russell Microcap® Index following the conclusion of the 2025 Russell indexes annual reconstitution.

The annual Russell US Indexes reconstitution captures the 4,000 largest US stocks ranking them by total market capitalization. Membership in the Russell Microcap® Index, which remains in place for one year, means automatic inclusion in the appropriate growth and value style indexes. FTSE Russell determines membership for its Russell indexes primarily by objective, market-capitalization rankings and style attributes.

“Joining the Russell Microcap® Index is a powerful validation of NeOnc’s momentum and our unwavering commitment to shareholder value and patient impact,” said Amir Heshmatpour, Executive Chairman and President of NeOnc Technologies Holdings, Inc. “This index represents microcap companies with an average market cap of about $640 million, covering stocks between roughly $30 million and $3 billion across fewer than 3% of the U.S. equity market. Over the past year, we’ve been intensely focused on advancing our Phase II clinical trials in CNS cancers and strategically expanding into the MENA region through our proposed Quazar partnership in the GCC. Our ultimate goal remains the same: to generate meaningful shareholder returns while making a real difference for patients and families battling brain cancer.

Russell indexes are widely used by investment managers and institutional investors for index funds and as benchmarks for active investment strategies. Russell's US indexes serve as the benchmark for about $10.6 trillion in assets as of the close of June 2024. Russell indexes are part of FTSE Russell, the global index provider.

For more information on the Russell Microcap® Index and the Russell indexes reconstitution, go to the "Russell Reconstitution" section on the FTSE Russell website.
