24h Move is the share-price change in the day after each event; other market factors may also have contributed.
Recent history shows several modest negative price reactions (around -1% to -4.5%) even to neutral or shareholder-friendly items like dividends and earnings-date notices, with only a small positive move on stronger Q4 2025 results.
Over the past six months, Acme United’s news flow centered on earnings, dividends, and scheduling updates. Q4 2025 results showed higher sales and earnings per share, with a modest +0.9% reaction. By contrast, Q1 2026 results with higher sales but lower profit saw a -4.5% move. Dividend and earnings-release announcements around March–April 2026 were followed by small declines. Against this backdrop, the Sidoti Micro Cap Conference appearance fits into ongoing investor-relations outreach rather than a major financial inflection.
