Why is the Pointerra share price flying higher?
The release on 29 January of Pointerra's quarterly report has proved to be a significant catalyst sending shares higher, with 82% gains recorded post announcement.
In the release, the company continued its strong run of growth with its annual contract value (ACV) standing at US$6.88 million as of 29 January. This means the company's ACV increased by 18% between quarters and 262% since the same corresponding quarter last year.
Notably, the company also received cash receipts of $0.64 million from customers, including new US customer Eversource Energy, a $29 billion utility company. As part of its recent storm response efforts, it engaged Pointerra to provide an enterprise repository and analytics platform. Eversource will then extract actionable information from geospatial data allowing for better and informed decisions that will lead to faster response times. The company signed a 4-month initial contract of $150,000 a month.
Speeding ticket
On 10 February, due to Pointerra's astronomical share price rise, the ASX asked the company to explain its increase. Pointerra confirmed that it was complying with the ASX listing rules and had disclosed all relevant information in its quarterly report. The company also noted that any individual material change in ACV would be reported separately as it was in its growth phase.
