Ascendiant has conducted extensive research and analysis stating, “We believe revenues should increase significantly in 2024/25. We have modeled high revenue growth in 2024 (+25%) and 2025 (+20%) and thereafter to scale up significantly which should drive improved margins and profitability.”

Ascendiant is an investment banking and equity research firm focusing on high-growth sectors, with expertise in technology, healthcare, and other emerging industries. It has not received compensation for advisory or investment banking services from the Company in the past 12 months.

“Valuation attractive: We are maintaining our BUY rating but raising our 12-month price target to $4.25 from $4.00, based on a NPV analysis, representing significant upside from the current share price. We believe this valuation appropriately balances out the company’s high risks with its high growth prospects and large upside opportunities.” – Ascendiant
