What Happened? DSK’s Treasury Stock Disposal

DSK decided to dispose of 4,700 treasury shares (0.02% of total shares) on September 24, 2025. The purpose of the disposal is to deliver treasury shares for the exercise of stock options.

Why the Disposal?

This treasury stock disposal is due to the exercise of stock options by employees and is a common procedure for performance-based compensation and motivation. It doesn’t directly impact the company’s fundamentals.

What’s the Impact on the Stock Price?

The number of disposed shares is only 0.02% of the total shares, so the impact on the stock price is expected to be minimal. Short-term supply and demand fluctuations are unlikely to be significant. Investors should instead focus on DSK’s future growth drivers. Net profit is expected to grow significantly in 2025 with improved ROE, and the clinical trial results and product approval of its bio business (Protox) will be key variables.

What Should Investors Do?

  • Short-term Investment: It’s unlikely to expect upward momentum in stock price solely based on this treasury stock disposal.
  • Mid- to Long-term Investment: It is advisable to make investment decisions after confirming actual business performance, such as the recovery of the secondary battery/display equipment business and the visibility of bio business performance, as well as financial improvement trends.
