The company appears to be making progress and despite still being loss making, with little indication of when it will break-even, has an impressive list of institutional shareholders, including: Henderson Global Investors (14%), Schroder (12.61%) and Blackrock (6.91%).
Peter McNally, analyst at house broker Charles Stanley comments: "The management has done exceptionally well signing up some large corporate customers such as Yandex.Money, Western Union, IBM GERS, Fiserv, among others. It now appears that customers are ramping usage of Earthport's service. We look forward to hearing more detail at the results which are due to be released in late November."
