24h Move is the share-price change in the day after each event; other market factors may also have contributed.
Recent history shows multiple positive commercial and partnership announcements followed by negative price reactions, with earnings updates more likely to see aligned positive moves.
Over the last several months, Aqua Metals reported several commercialization and partnership milestones, including LOIs and supply agreements for battery‑grade nickel and lithium carbonate, as well as an MOU on deep‑sea critical minerals and a business update call on Nov 12, 2025. An earnings release for Q3 2025 with funding progress led to a 15.65% gain, but other positive news, such as multi‑year agreements and exploratory MOUs, often coincided with declines between 4–10%. This conference participation fits into that commercialization narrative.
