New York, N.Y., Sept. 10, 2024 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — NANO Nuclear Energy Inc. (NASDAQ: NNE) (“NANO Nuclear” or the “Company”), a vertically integrated advanced nuclear energy and technology company developing portable clean energy solutions, today announced that, effective September 23, 2024, it has been selected as one of only 12 companies for inclusion into the broad-market Russell 3000® Index (the “Index”) based on the Index’s quarterly review and subsequent addition of companies which have recently undertaken initial public offerings.
“We are thrilled to announce NANO Nuclear’s addition to the Russell 3000 Index,” said Jay Yu, Founder and Chairman of NANO Nuclear Energy. “Being selected to join the Index within just four months of our IPO is a truly exciting and rewarding milestone. The Index follows a modular approach, covering market segments (large, mid and small cap) and investment styles (growth vs. value and defensive vs. dynamic) and serves as a key benchmark for tracking the performance of mega-cap to small-cap stocks in the U.S. equity market. Our inclusion in the Index is a testament to the strong foundation we’ve built and the direction we’re heading as a company. To be one of only 12 companies added in the Index’s quarterly review is a great honor, and we are eager to keep this momentum going as we capitalize on the nuclear energy renaissance we are experiencing in the U.S.”
