Cyren Ltd [CYRN] - Last Close: $1.77
News of a key asset sale is rallying shares of Cyren Ltd.
The SaaS cybersecurity firm announced this morning that it had agreed to offload its legacy secure email gateway business to Content Services Group GmbH in a cash deal worth roughly US$10.7 million.
Cyren says the influx of cash will help it focus on its strategic growth initiatives, such as expanding its anti-phishing solutions, Cyren inbox security, and core threat intelligence services.
The company says these products have seen bookings grow substantially in recent quarters, and it was time to accelerate its investments in pursuing these new opportunities.
CYRN is trading actively with a 43.5% gain.
Our Take: The move could be a sign of good things ahead for Cyren. If it can successfully leverage the cash from this divestment into new product revenue growth, this stock could have some catalysts in its future.
