Several ASX tech quarterlies got investors excited this morning with online meal kit seller Marley Spoon (ASX:MMM) leading the charge.

Shareholders spent several months last year wondering if the Marley Spoon business model could make money;  now, the widespread adoption of online grocery shopping, sparked by COVID-19, has shown that it can.

The company has now reached positive earnings on a global basis and revenues jumped 129 per cent from the prior corresponding period.

Chief exec Fabian Seigel said this was due to both existing customers upping their spending and on-boarding new customers.

“We are grateful for the business received from existing and new customers, who entrusted us with feeding their families in these uncertain times,” he said.

“Many of these new customers that discovered the benefits of our meal kit brands are remaining with us and are enjoying cooking in a better way compared to the old supermarket way.”

In early trade it was the biggest winner among stocks that released their quarterlies, surging over 30 per cent.
