    • In late June 2026, Addus HomeCare Corporation (NasdaqGS: ADUS) was removed from several Russell Growth indices, including the Russell 2000, 2500, 3000, 3000E, and Small Cap Growth benchmarks, following the annual index reconstitution.

    Addus HomeCare Investment Narrative Recap

    To own Addus HomeCare, you have to believe in the long term demand for home and community based care and the company’s ability to manage reimbursement and labor pressures.
