Commercial Vehicle Manufacturing Financial Markets

On August 17, 2026, JOST Werke, a leading producer of safety- and mission-critical systems for the commercial vehicle industry, began trading on the OTCQX Best Market in the United States under the ticker symbol 'JSTWF'. The company upgraded from the Pink Limited Market, and its shares continue to trade on the Frankfurt Stock Exchange under the symbol 'JST'. No new shares were issued. The move is part of JOST's strategy to expand its access to U.S. institutional and retail investors, leveraging the 12g3-2(b) exemption from SEC filing. OTC Markets Group announced the qualification, highlighting the trend of European growth companies seeking U.S. investor access. JOST's CEO Joachim K. noted that the Americas region accounted for approximately 30% of group sales and earnings in the first half of 2026, and the company sees the U.S. as a strategic growth market. Trading in European securities on OTC Markets reached $113.49 billion in Q2 2026, up 31.77% year-over-year.
