What's Going On With Verb Technology Shares Monday?

Verb Technology Company, Inc. VERB shares are moving higher on Monday after the CEO, in a letter to shareholders, highlighted the company’s cash balance and implied the stock is undervalued.

What To Know: CEO Rory J. Cutaia started off the letter to shareholders highlighting key pieces of financial data related to Verb. Specifically, Cutaia highlighted the company’s market cap of $3.8 million as October 10 and its cash balance of $17.2 million as of the its last Form 10-Q filing.

Cutaia also pointed to the fact that the company’s only debt is a Small Business Administration (SBA) loan for $125 thousand with a 3.75% interest rate.

“So do the math – this means if we traded at nothing more than our net cash value, the stock should be trading at more than $22 per share,” said Cutaia.

“And that assumes we get ZERO value for the underlying businesses – ZERO.”

Cutaia then addressed the status and anticipated performance of Verb’s three businesses. He had an overall positive outlook for all of them. In addition, the CEO essentially stated that the recent reverse stock split was a decision made by the shareholders and not by management or by the board.
