The stocks of ShiftPixy, Inc. (NASDAQ:PIXY) have caught the eyes of the market participants with their skyrocketing price in the morning trading on Thursday, September 8. The price of the PIXY stock rocketed more than 134 per cent in the morning trading on September 8.
Now, as many investors would look for the probable reasons for the jump in its price, let's take a brief look at it with Kalkine Media®.
Why is it rising?
The human capital services enterprise firm announced on September 8 that it is planning to spin off its Virtual Brand development pipeline and technology stack of ShiftPixy Labs to a fully-owned subsidiary, ShiftPixy Labs, Inc.
After the completion of the transfer, it will distribute dividends to its stockholders, with a record date of September 8.
However, the spin-off transaction would depend on several conditions, like ShiftPixy's ability at the time of distribution to act as per the applicable Wyoming law.
Also, ShiftPixy Labs must meet all the requirements for future listing on Upstream, a trading app powered by Horizon Fintex and MERJ Exchange market.
If it can comply with the conditions mentioned earlier, it would result in two independent public companies. The company's management aims to take ShiftPixy Labs, Inc. public through an IPO on the Nasdaq exchange and Upstream exchange on October 2022.
