Stoneridge Returns to Russell 2000® Index

NOVI, Mich., June 30, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- Stoneridge, Inc. (NYSE: SRI), a leading supplier of safe, intelligent and efficient electronic technologies for the commercial vehicle and off-highway equipment markets, today announced that the Company has been added to the Russell 2000® Index as part of the 2026 FTSE Russell U.S. Indexes annual reconstitution. The reconstituted indexes became effective following the close of U.S. markets on June 26, 2026.

The Russell 2000 Index measures the performance of approximately 2,000 small-cap U.S. companies and is widely used by investment managers and institutional investors as a benchmark for small-cap investment strategies. Membership in the index also results in automatic inclusion in the Russell 3000® Index, which represents approximately 98% of the investable U.S. equity market.

"Our inclusion in the Russell 2000 Index reflects the progress we've made in strengthening our business and executing our strategic priorities," said Natalia Noblet, President and CEO of Stoneridge. "We believe this increased visibility will enhance awareness of Stoneridge among the investment community as we continue to focus on profitable growth and long-term shareholder value."

The Russell U.S. Indexes are maintained by FTSE Russell and are widely used by investment managers for index funds and active investment strategies. Approximately $12.2 trillion in assets are benchmarked against the Russell U.S. Indexes.

• tariffs specifically in countries where we have significant direct or indirect manufacturing or supply chain exposure and our ability to either mitigate the impact of tariffs or pass any incremental costs to our customers;
