Essentially a back office for financial institutions. Recently made acquisitions in the US that gives them growth. About 3 months ago a Short seller advised that they were playing fast and loose with revenue recognition and not making any money in the US. The stock dropped very quickly.

Has been painted with a brush of being a hardware company that might disappear because some kid in a garage might come up with something better.
