24h Move is the share-price change in the day after each event; other market factors may also have contributed.
Recent history shows mixed reactions: strong earnings triggered a -5.58% move, while small RSU-related capital increases often coincided with modest gains, and insider selling aligned with a slight decline.
Over the last few months, TORM has combined balance-sheet accretion with ongoing equity-based incentives. Q1 2026 results on May 13 delivered strong earnings and upgraded guidance, yet shares fell 5.58%. The AGM on April 15 approved all resolutions and reaffirmed dividend policy, with a 2.64% gain. Multiple small capital increases from RSU exercises on March 31 and May 20 slightly expanded share count without pre-emption rights, while CEO RSU exercises and sales around May 20 saw a mild negative reaction. Today’s RSU-related capital increase continues this pattern of incremental dilution tied to incentive programs.
