It also increases the risk of potential losses in the short term as the stock tends to have larger drops in price more frequently than other stocks. Currently, the following risks have been identified for the company: Major Risks Earnings have declined by 20% per year over the past 5 years. Shareholders have been substantially diluted in the past year (64% increase in shares outstanding). Minor Risks Share price has been volatile over the past 3 months (7.6% average weekly change).

New minor risk - Market cap size The company's market capitalization is less than US$100m. Market cap: kr988.4m (US$99.1m) This is considered a minor risk. Companies with a small market capitalization are most likely businesses that have not yet released a product to market or are simply a very small company without a wide reach. Either way, risk is elevated with these companies because there is a chance the product may not come to fruition or the company's addressable market or demand may not be as large as expected. In addition, if the company's size is the main factor, it is less likely to have many investors and analysts following it and scrutinizing its performance and outlook. Currently, the following risks have been identified for the company: Major Risks Earnings have declined by 14% per year over the past 5 years.

New major risk - Shareholder dilution The company's shareholders have been substantially diluted in the past year. Increase in shares outstanding: 49% This is considered a major risk. Shareholder dilution occurs when there is an increase in the number of shares on issue that is not proportionally distributed between all shareholders. Often due to the company raising equity capital or some options being converted into stock. All else being equal, if there are more shares outstanding then each existing share will be entitled to a lower proportion of the company's total earnings, thus reducing earnings per share (EPS). While dilution might not always result in lower EPS (like if the company is using the capital to fund an EPS accretive acquisition) in a lot cases it does, along with lower dividends per share and less voting power at shareholder meetings. Currently, the following risks have been identified for the company: Major Risks Share price has been highly volatile over the past 3 months (16% average weekly change). Earnings have declined by 10% per year over the past 5 years. Shareholders have been substantially diluted in the past year (49% increase in shares outstanding).

poLight ASA Confirms Positive Feedback for the Autofocus Performance of TLens Selfie Camera on MEIZU 20 Infinity Smartphone poLight ASA announced that the company has confirmed the high performance of the front-facing autofocus selfie camera enabled by TLens®? on the MEIZU 20 Infinity smartphone, that clearly demonstrates exceptional image quality replicating the human eye as reported during the company's last quarterly earnings presentation. The MEIZU 20Infinity smartphone, which began shipping in volume in June, features a 32MP camera leveraging the poLight TLens®?, providing instantaneous focus up to 10x faster than competing technologies. Its sharp, fast, constant field of view functionality is ideal for continuous video capture, All-In-Focus or Light Field Capture without additional image editing software, setting the MEIZU 20 Infinity smartphones ahead of the competition as consumers' desire for optimal selfie video and picture taking continues to grow. During the product unveiling event in Shanghai, China, March 30, 2023, MEIZU's executive highlighted the TLens®?tunable optics technology as the driving force behind the MEIZU 20 Infinity selfie camera functionality. Smartphones dominate photo capture, driven by selfies, Millennials and image-based applications. According to Phot tutorials, of the 1.72 trillion photos taken every year, 92.5% of all photos taken in 2023 will be captured by a smartphone, and one in every third will be a selfie. By region, the average United States citizen takes 20.2 photos per day, followed by Asia-Pacific with 15 photos per day, Latin America with 11.8 photos per day, and Europe with 4.9 photos per day. This age group is expected to take 25,000 selfies during their lifetime, spending 38 hours each year taking those selfies according to a Luster survey of 1,000 U.S. millennials. Selfie imaging-based social media application platforms continue to dominate social networks with seven out of the top 10 relying on photos, with BeReal usage growing 315% in 2022 and increasing to six million people accessing the app daily in March 2023. Smartphones that excel in capturing selfies will support this in-demand application. Tunable optics technology drives innovation: poLight's TLens®? offers the industry's smallest size and lowest power consuming autofocus actuation with exceptional optical stability that is immune to magnetic interference or gravity. Based on proven piezo MEMS and proprietary polymer-based tunable optics technology, TLens®? enables smartphone manufacturers and camera module manufacturers to dramatically exceed current image capture capabilities.
