🔴 SmartKem is trading 9.7% down in after-hours trading; no clear catalyst identified

SmartKem is trading 9.7% down at $1.49 after-hours versus the regular-session close; the specific catalyst remains unclear.

• No company-specific announcement explaining the decline was identified for October 2, 2026; SmartKem’s investor-relations page lists its latest news release as August 26, not October 2.
• The broader market rose on October 2, but available evidence does not establish a market-wide explanation; recent company news is not a direct explanation for the drop.
