Over the past month, zSpace issued multiple growth-focused updates, including new AR/VR deployments in Poland and Kentucky and a Challenger Learning Center partnership, plus industry recognition for an education leader using its platform. These generally positive headlines saw both strong rallies (up to +32.89%) and selloffs (down to -10.42%).
