VST has its hand in a number of sectors, including a sizeable holding in FANS (esports/gambling stock) but it has recently gained attention because of its stake in the rapid COVID-19 test manufacturer. Yesterday, they've announced that they are increasing their manufacturing capacity by 5M test kits per month. In the followup webinar, investors were informed of several pending orders with large corporate and government bodies. The company is under NDA at the moment but there will be followup news releases as the orders are fulfilled. Their COVID-19 test has received authorization in a number of major jurisdictions, including most recently Brazil which faces one of the worst COVID-19 outbreaks at the moment.
The company reported record numbers in most recent financials, nearly doubling its net income (4.7M) from the same 6 month period of last year.
Technically, yesterday marked a decisive reversal after ~50% retrace from recent high and it appears the chart is gearing up for Wave 2 move that should see re-test (and likely break) through resistance around 1.10.
