The month that's been for Airtasker
Over the past month, the ASX has been updated on news from Airtasker four times.
The first was on 21 May, when Airtasker shares entered a trading halt as the company announced it will acquire San Francisco-based local services marketplace Zaarly.
Airtasker's first overseas expansion will cost it around $3.4 million. Additionally, it plans to continue expanding into the United Kingdom in the future.
To fund the acquisition and its future growth plans, Airtasker conducted a $20.7 million capital raising.
On 25 May, the company officially ended its trading halt, announcing it had successfully completed the capital raise.
That day, Airtasker shares closed 12% higher than their previous session.
Then, on 7 June, the Airtasker share price gained another 5% without the company uttering a word.
The gain was likely due to a broker note out of Morgans. The broker upgraded the company from a neutral rating and improved its price target to $1.29.
Finally, on 11 June, Airtasker was officially admitted to the S&P/ASX All Technology Index (ASX: XTX) – though, the news didn't affect its share price.
