The company is engaged in the development and commercialisation of electronic design software used in the product design of electronics in the United States and other countries globally. In Australia, the company is based in Chatswood, New South Wales.
Its portfolio of products offered includes- Altium Vault®, Altium Designer®, CircuitMaker®, CircuitStudio®, TASKING® and Octopart®.
The company operates via three key business segments including Cloud Applications, Board and Systems and Electronic System Solutions. Altium serves multiple sectors including consumer electronics, education, the automotive, communications, contract engineering, military/aerospace, entertainment, industrial systems, medical industries and others.
With a market capitalisation of around AU$ 4.03 billion and approximately 130.51 million outstanding shares, the ALU stock closed the market trading today (31 May 2019) at the last price of AU$ 30.930, edging up 0.065% by AU$ 0.020, with ~ 641,986 shares traded. In addition, the stock has generated positive return yields so far. These include 29.55% for the last six months and 43.04% YTD.
The stock price has a 52-week high of AU$ 35.590 and a 52-week low of AU$ 19.630.
Recently on 13 May 2019, the company announced that it would be holding its 2019 Annual General Meeting (AGM) on 6 December 2019, the timing of which will be decided and disclosed in due time. The ASIC (Australian Securities and Investments Commission) has also approved the extension of the period in which the 2019 AGM will be held.
The reason behind the request concerning the extension is to allow Altium to coordinate the timing of its 2019 Technology Day with its AGM (both of which will be affected by the date on which the 2019 United States Thanksgiving public holiday falls), and to allow the Altium senior executives and Board members based in the United States sufficient time to travel to Australia to attend the Technology Day and AGM.
Altium will mail its 2019 notice of AGM and annual report, and file its 2019 financial report, on a timeline as if the extension had not been granted, so that there will be no delay in shareholders receiving these documents.
According to the companyâs half-yearly results for the six months ended 31 December 2018, Altium recorded an excellent growth of 24% in the revenue to the value of US$ 78.1 million with the record level of profits. In addition, the EBITDA margin stood at 36.3% and the net profit after tax increased by a staggering 58% to US$ 23.4 million.
