USA Technologies Inc (NASDAQ:USAT) offers consumer payment systems. In the last three months, USA Technologies Inc (NASDAQ:USAT) stock gained 23.7% and on January 25th it had a closing price of $10.35. Here is what Laughing Water Capital said:
“USA Technologies (USAT) – USAT, which will shortly be re-branded as Cantaloupe, is our unattended retail/vending machine software company that was introduced in our Q3’20 letter. The company saw drastic corporate change in 2020 as a new, properly incentivized, board and management team wrested control from a prior regime that mismanaged the company. The new team has made rapid progress in reining in expenses through refinancing debt and right sizing operations, while also shifting the focus of the business toward its best-in-class enterprise software offering (Cantaloupe) and initiating plans for international expansion. The business is still hampered by Covid, but should improve as life returns to normal, and the stock should benefit in the months to come as the market continues to recognize the operational improvement underway, and from the forced buying that accompanies index inclusion.”
