Russell Rebalance Including & Excluding Key IPO’s (BPI, DGI, OPEN, RST, RHIE, SWI, CYOU, LOPE, MJN, RAX)

money-stack-imageWe will have some changes or further additions and deletions coming today from Russell for the highly awaited Russell rebalance and reconstitution taking place late this month.  What is interesting about the group’s additions and deletions is that there are many of the hot (and not so hot) companies which came public via an IPO that are in the Russell index changes.

Bridgepoint Education Inc. (NYSE: BPI) is being added to Russell 3000 and to the Russell Global.  DigitalGlobal Inc. (NYSE: DGI) is actually trading as a busted IPO and it is being added to Russell 3000 and to the Russell Global.  OpenTable (NASDAQ: OPEN) is being added to Russell 3000 and to the Russell Global.  Rosetta Stone Inc. (NYSE: RST) is being added to Russell 3000 and to the Russell Global.  RHI Entertainment (NASDAQ: RHIE) was a distant IPO but it is being added to Russell 3000 and to the Russell Global.  SolarWinds Inc. (NYSE: SWI) is a very fresh IPO and is being added to Russell 3000 and to the Russell Global.  There is also a list of other key IPOs which were not included for certain issues.

(NYSE: RST), Mead Johnson Nutrition Co. (NYSE: MJN), DigitalGlobal Inc. (NYSE: DGI), and Bridgepoint Education Inc. (NYSE: BPI).
