OREM, Utah, June 30, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- SunPower (aka Complete Solaria, Inc.) ("SunPower" or the "Company") (NASDAQ:SPWR), a leading U.S. solar technology, services, and installation company, announced that effective today, Monday June 30^th, 2025, SunPower has been added to the Russell 3000 and Russell Microcap Indices.

The Russell indices are widely used by investment managers and institutional investors for index funds and as benchmarks for active investment strategies. According to the London Stock Exchange, approximately $8.5 trillion is benchmarked to Russell indices and roughly $2 trillion tracks them passively.

SunPower chairman and CEO T.J. Rodgers commented, "Despite the factually erroneous barrage of negative data dumped on our stock symbol SPWR on a daily basis due to careless reporting by companies like Market Watch – which carries mostly obsolete stories created by bots on the demise of (the old) SunPower, which no longer exists as a company, our SPWR has been asked to join the Russell 3000 and Microcap Indices. Our inclusion in these Indices shows that the new SPWR is expected to benefit from the famous SunPower brand.

Rodgers continued, "Furthermore, in Q1'25, SPWR achieved an operating profit for the first time in four years, just six months after the current management team took control. And, we will announce our second consecutive quarter of profitability for Q2'25 on July 22 at our quarterly shareholder earnings call.

Rodgers concluded, "As stated in my recent WSJ Op-ed and our last press release (links here and here), while the U.S. residential solar industry is facing some structural uncertainties, that remains a huge opportunity, and I view the elimination of the ITC to be very positive versus competitors because our newly transformed SPWR is ready to grow profitably in a solar market free of frequent destructive government meddling. I look forward to being able to share SunPower's story with the broader investor audience available through the Russell indices."
