What got you talking yesterday

Can small cap tech companies do math? That’s the question we were all asking ourselves on the Stockhead Facebook chat forum, after both Dragontail Systems (ASX:DTS) and Pointerra (ASX:3DP) appeared to struggle with percentage calculations in their quarterly announcements.

These were the five most-discussed stocks on trading gossip forum HotCopper at close on yesterday:

 

 

Yesterday’s winners

Tuesday April 16 will go down as a hell of a day for a select group of small caps.

Property tech company Assetowl Limited (ASX:AO1) caught the market’s attention, posting a lazy 225 per cent gain to 2.6 cents.

It followed an announcement that listed real estate agency The Agency Group Australia Ltd (ASX:AU1) will carry out a trial of Assetowl’s Inspector360 platform as part of its service offering.

The aim of the platform is to improve the real estate inspection process by providing 360-degree imagery, videos and hotspot mapping at individual properties.

Fintech Chain (ASX:FTC) rocketed 133 per cent to 14c on news that it has helped facilitate $83.4 million in transactions on its partner China Merchants Bank’ network on a limited trial basis in four selected Chinese provinces.

Cancer fighting company Noxopharm Ltd (ASX:NOX) jumped 44 per cent to 54c after an update on its anti-cancer medication.

Pre-clinical trials showed that Idronoxil, the key component of the drug, “activates cells associated with both the innate and adaptive immune systems, increasing functional natural killer (NK) cells and CD4+ (T-helper) cell numbers”, the company said.
