24h Move is the share-price change in the day after each event; other market factors may also have contributed.
Recent news has been a mix of growth, marketing, and investor-relations updates. Strong conference exposure has sometimes coincided with sizable gains, while even positive fundamentals, like revenue growth, have not always produced positive next-day moves.
Over the past six months, FST Corp. has highlighted marketing initiatives, investor outreach, and improving fundamentals. The Q3 2025 update on Nov 19 reported revenue of $12.55M, up 47% year over year, but the stock fell modestly afterward. Conference appearances on Oct 21 and Dec 3 and the KBS Open event around Dec 4–5 drew investor attention with mixed price reactions. Today’s equity incentive plan approval follows the earlier AGM notice on Dec 1.
