- Ipsidy Inc AUID appreciated 300% over the last year after its Nasdaq uplisting, White Diamond Research said.
- White Diamond attributed the rally to "hype regarding its selfie identity verification program."
- However, in a new report, the short seller claims that Ipsidy management "misleads investors claiming that AUID is a pure-play SaaS business" although "none of its revenues have been from its SaaS product (Identity as a Service - IDaaS) and 70% are from low tech, legacy businesses."
- The AUID story is " similar to that of cybersecurity company Intrusion Inc INTZ, one of our most successful short ideas."
- White Diamond set a price target of $1.50 on Ipsidy, implying an 89.7% downside to the December 15 closing price of $14.59.
- The stock dropped on December 16 following the short report.
- Price Action: AUID shares traded higher by 13.1% at $14.86 on the last check Friday.
