| Dec 22 | AI product integration | Positive | -1.5% | AI-powered Displayr integration to enhance QuestDIY survey analytics and reporting. |
| Dec 18 | Leadership appointment | Neutral | -0.2% | Assembly names Bridget Hopkins Europe CEO to lead and scale regional business. |

Recent news has been largely positive (AI launches, study, business momentum) with generally modest positive price reactions, except for one AI integration update that coincided with a small decline.
Over the past months, Stagwell highlighted several growth and innovation milestones. AI-focused launches like NewVoices.ai and HarrisQuest’s Displayr integration, plus an AI sentiment study of CEOs released on Dec 9–10, 2025, drew modestly positive price reactions around +1.9%. Brand and agency updates, including Kettle’s awards and Assembly’s new Europe CEO, also coincided with relatively small moves. Today’s conference participation fits a pattern of ongoing investor outreach following stronger Q3 2025 results disclosed in recent regulatory filings.
