The June 2026 Russell index reconstitution shifted some megacap tech stocks like Amazon, Apple, and Microsoft from growth to value categories due to changing fundamentals such as strong cash flows and buybacks. This reflects a broader market trend where traditional growth and value styles overlap, with new AI-focused companies (MANGOS) defining pure growth.
