Celebrating Employee Ownership: Stock Price Reveal Parties
The dust has settled and the boots kicked off, but the excitement from our big ESS Companies (ESSC) stock price reveal parties rages on!
Shareholder Week, held March 25-29, was a virtual experience built for ESSC employee-owners. While it highlighted the success of 2023, it also geared up our shareholders for the year ahead.
Daily content shared project updates, provided key company information, and built suspense for the big stock price reveal. The special “Guess the Stock Price” game and Shareholder Week swag got employee-owners in the spirit to celebrate that monster announcement.
Work Hard, Play Hard
On Friday, March 29, employee-owners throughout the ESSC family of companies went from working hard to playing hard. At five parties across Missouri and Arizona, they simultaneously experienced the monumental reveal moment: a record-high stock price that’s a 35% increase from the previous year! What better way to mark our monster success than some good ol’ fashioned fun?
In the Midwest, these parties took on a Western flair. Employee-owners traded their steel-toed boots for cowboy boots and donned their denim. DJs kept the country music pumping and the dance floor swinging. From mechanical bull riding to pony races, there was no shortage of entertainment throughout the night.
The Employee-Owner Commitment
But it wasn’t just about kicking up our heels and letting loose (although there was plenty of that). It was a celebration of our shared success as a 100% employee-owned company. The reveal of our stock price wasn’t just a monster number on a screen; it was a testament to the hard work, dedication, and commitment of each and every ESSC employee-owner.
As we hang up our cowboy hats, one thing remains clear: Our employee-owners keep crushin’ it. We’re excited to see what successes we’ll be celebrating in 2025!
