Analysis · CTSO · Industrial Applications And Services
CEO Phillip Chan bought 200,000 shares for $70,000 at $0.35 per share on September 4, 2026 — four days before the company's 1-for-20 reverse split took effect. The purchase represents roughly 0.35% of the company's market cap and is his second open-market buy in three months, following a $104,898 purchase in June. The timing is notable: it comes after a going-concern warning in the Q2 10-Q and a Nasdaq delisting notice, and just before the reverse split designed to lift the share price above listing thresholds. The shares were bought pre-split, so the post-split equivalent is 10,000 shares at $7.00 per share.
