1. A-Pro’s Treasury Share Disposal: What Happened?

On August 22nd, A-Pro announced the disposal of 40,330 treasury shares worth 300 million KRW. The purpose is to pay employee bonuses.

2. Why Dispose of Treasury Shares?

The disposal aims to provide employee bonuses in the form of treasury shares. This can help motivate employees and increase their sense of responsibility for company growth.

3. So, What’s the Impact on Stock Price?

The disposal size is only 0.28% of the total outstanding shares, so the direct impact on the stock price is expected to be minimal. However, as it can influence investor sentiment, market reactions should be monitored.

  • Positive Aspect: Increased employee motivation and responsibility.
  • Negative Aspect: Potential for short-term stock price volatility.

4. What Should Investors Do?

Investors should focus on A-Pro’s fundamentals rather than short-term stock price fluctuations. A thorough analysis of the growth of the secondary battery equipment business, the performance of new businesses, and improvements in profitability is crucial for making investment decisions. It’s particularly important to closely monitor whether the recent trend of declining profitability can be reversed. The growth potential of new businesses, such as GaN power semiconductors, should also be continuously monitored.
