The Financial technology company Splitit Payments Ltd (ASX:SPT) today posted its response to the ASXâs price and volume query raised via a letter dated 11 March 2019.
Splitit stated that it is not aware of any information that has not been released to the market which if known by market participants could explain the recent trading in its securities.
The reply relates to the query raised by the Australian Securities Exchange in which the regulator asked the reason for the recent surge in the price of SPTâs securities from an intra-day low of $0.935 on 4 March 2019 to an intra-day high of $1.95 today.
Digital Payment company Splitit was listed on the Australian Securities Exchange on 29 January 2019 under the Information Technology sector. And since then, the stock has turned three folds demonstrating as high as 326.32% returns. Further, in the past 5-days to 13 March 2019, Splititâs stock price has surged by 33.33% to the last close at $1.300.
In response to ASX, Splitit clearly stated that it is aware of several recent news articles which explain Splititâs business model, note that Splitit has recently listed on ASX and comment on Splititâs business and share price relative to other listed companies in a similar industry, including Afterpay Touch Group Ltd. The company believes that this significant media traction might be the reason for recent trading its securities.
The Group further confirmed that all the price-sensitive information is released in accordance with the listing rules and ASX guidelines. The letter carrying this response to ASX was signed by Mr Charly Duffy, Company Secretary of Splitit Payments Ltd.
More on the business front, Splitit has experienced an active growth in the number of unique shoppers to use Splitit increased by 88,000 or 293% during 2018 to 118,000.

The Underlying Merchant Transaction grew by 253% on the previous corresponding period to AUD$80.2 million and average order value sits at over AUD$1,000 at the end of 2018, told Splitit.
