Published

on

SAN JOSE, Calif., May 29, 2024 /PRNewswire/ — QuickLogic Corporation (NASDAQ: QUIK) (“QuickLogic” or the “Company”), a developer of embedded FPGA (eFPGA) IP, ruggedized FPGAs and Endpoint AI solutions, today announced that it is set to join the broad-market Russell 3000® Index. This inclusion will occur at the conclusion of the 2024 Russell US Indexes annual reconstitution, effective at the open of US equity markets on Monday, July 1st. The announcement follows the preliminary list of additions that was posted Friday, May 24th.

The annual Russell US Indexes reconstitution captures the 4,000 largest US stocks as of Tuesday, April 30th, ranking them by total market capitalization. Membership in the US all-cap Russell 3000® Index, which remains in place for one year, means automatic inclusion in the small-cap Russell 2000® Index as well as the appropriate growth and value style indexes. FTSE Russell determines membership for its Russell indexes primarily by objective, market-capitalization rankings, and style attributes.

“Inclusion in the Russell 3000® Index is welcomed recognition of QuickLogic’s growth and financial performance driven by our successful strategic transformation with the launch of our eFPGA IP business model in 2020,” said Brian Faith, CEO of QuickLogic. “We remain extremely focused on executing on our strategy and look forward to introducing QuickLogic to a broader segment of the investment community through our inclusion in this prominent index.”

Russell indexes are widely used by investment managers and institutional investors for index funds and as benchmarks for active investment strategies. According to the data as of the end of December 2023, about $10.5 trillion in assets are benchmarked against the Russell US indexes, which belong to FTSE Russell, a prominent global index provider.

Fiona Bassett, CEO of FTSE Russell, An LSEG Business, commented “Russell indexes–now in their 40th year–continue to evolve to reflect the dynamic US economy. Annual rebalancing plays a vital role in establishing accurate benchmarks, ensuring they correctly mirror their designated market segments and remain unbiased in terms of size and style.”

Argus launches global carbon service

Published

on

By

LONDON, April 28, 2025 /PRNewswire/ — Leading commodities and energy information provider Argus has launched a new carbon service whose coverage spans both compliance emissions trading schemes and voluntary carbon markets worldwide in a single comprehensive offering.

Carbon markets are evolving to meet Paris Agreement climate obligations and Article 6 considerations agreed at recent UN Cop climate summits.  And as a result, market participants now need to navigate the complexities of cross-border emissions trade in a dynamic environment. This will involve the interplay between the international scope of Article 6, the EU’s Carbon Border Adjustment Mechanism — launching next year, and national emissions trading schemes getting under way in many countries around the world. And it will provide opportunities for players both to optimise trading decisions and boost liquidity.

As part of its new service, Argus provides daily comprehensive coverage of compliance and voluntary carbon markets, including assessments of the newly launched Australian Carbon Credit Unit (ACCU) and Australian Safeguard Mechanism Credit (SMC) schemes. These will be followed by price assessment launches for the Carbon Offsetting and Reduction Scheme for International Aviation (Corsia) and tech-based carbon removals. 

Argus’ interactive web portal facilitates the delivery of carbon prices, news, analysis and market data, while also enabling cross-commodity analysis that is critical to support hard-to-abate heavy industries, such as aviation, transportation, steelmaking, chemicals and agriculture, in achieving their decarbonisation goals. A new, weekly “In Focus” feature helps to navigate emerging markets and dissect policy implications.

Users can tailor the workspaces to meet their needs. A weekly global report curated by Argus editors then provides an effective summary of the main pricing and market developments, including analytical features and data visualisation. 

“The new Argus Carbon service is the most comprehensive one-stop venue to help market participants manage risks and digest what’s happening in this very complex and evolving environment. We aim to help markets navigate change as the fragmented mandated and voluntary carbon markets interact and integrate,” Argus Media chairman and chief executive Adrian Binks said.
