"These second quarter results demonstrate the continued positive impact that MarketWall is having on our business," commented Prakash Hariharan, Chairman and CEO of AnalytixInsight. "MarketWall continued to post strong financial results in Q2, which positions us on a strong pathway toward profitability and growth for the business. InvestoPro's AUC and customer on-boarding also grew during the quarter, boosted by continued marketing efforts, its Samsung partnership, and continued retail user interest in its unique product offerings. Additionally, we are focused on continuously improving our CapitalCube product, in terms of both AI functionalities and algorithms as well as its effectiveness for our retail and institutional customers."
InvestoPro
InvestoPro is the digital online stock trading platform launched by AnalytixInsight, MarketWall, and Intesa Sanpaolo through MarketWall's wholly owned subsidiary, InvestoPro SIM S.p.A. InvestoPro SIM S.p.A. has developed its leading-edge platform, trade execution functions, and user applications in partnership with Intesa Sanpaolo.
InvestoPro EVO has been developed as a comprehensive multi-device trading platform (e.g., mobile, wearables, smart-TV) that offers online stock trading and fintech-enabled services combined with research and financial education.
InvestoPro GO has been developed as a simplified version that has been purposefully designed for Samsung users in conjunction with InvestoPro's agreement with Samsung Electronics Italia.
InvestoPro & Samsung
InvestoPro SIM S.p.A. entered into an agreement with Samsung Electronics Italia in November 2022, pursuant to which Samsung agreed to profile the InvestoPro trading platform on Samsung's Quick Access, the start page of the Samsung Internet Browser. Samsung has millions of monthly active Samsung Internet users who utilize Quick Access, which profiles clickable icons for leading brands to users each time they use their browser and allows users to easily reach partner websites.
CapitalCube
Under the Company's Refinitiv AI-driven research initiative, CapitalCube published 6,979 company research reports during the second quarter of 2023. Approximately 91,979 research reports have been published in 40 countries under the Refinitiv initiative since October 2018. The Company believes its ability to generate machine-created research reports and AI-based fundamental financial analysis on virtually all publicly traded companies worldwide is a market differentiator for trading platforms within the industry, wherein we see both regulators and platform providers are seeking tools to automate the alignment of trading permissions that are matched with the investor's risk appetite.
Euclides
AnalytixInsight's workforce management division, Euclides Technologies, plans to expand its customer base through 2023 as institutions continue to deploy additional capital to augment their data and workforce management infrastructure. The recognition of these into revenues has been delayed due to customer deferrals of the implementation of their FSM modules as a part of their capital allocation programs for the quarter. Euclides is also advancing the development of zero-touch workforce management modules with data analytics and machine learning algorithms. The Company is undergoing a strategic review of this division considering the Company's increasing focus within the fintech industry and expects this new business relationship and new product development to improve the business value of this division.
