Champions Corner: Remark Holdings
With his second pick, Lightpath Tech, falling -2.11% for the month, Remark Holdings was micronta’s ace in the hole.
Remark Holdings began its climb early on in May, soaring 363.65% by the end of the month. The company’s stock reached as high as US$3.49 before closing lower at US$2.64 on missed EPS and revenue for FY 2019.
The company announced last Wednesday that it had launched a new website for its thermal imaging solution.
“. . . What differentiates Remark’s thermal cameras are its capabilities beyond thermal temperature scanning. Our proprietary AI software enables monitoring various tasks including people counting, PPE enforcement such as mask wearing, social distancing compliance, contactless access to doors and gates, attendance management, touchless employee check in, object counts, behavior detection, intelligent surveillance and theft control.”
Our hats are off to you, micronta — Remark Holdings was a brilliant pick for May!
