What's happened today?
There have been no market sensitive announcements today that apply specifically to Weebit.
The share price has been a gainer following a key announcement on 25 June, where the company confirmed it had successfully demonstrated the integration of a selector with ReRAM, for the standalone memory market.
Since this event, shares have walked their way northwards by 12.6%, gaining as much as 20% the day after the announcement alone.
Regarding the milestone, Weebit CEO Coby Hanoch stated:
This achievement demonstrates our commitment to addressing the discrete memory market as part of our mid-term strategy. We see a broad range of opportunities for discrete ReRAM, from NOR flash to storage class memory, in a range of segments.
Given our 2024 target for a discrete solution, we anticipate that other opportunities will arise as well. We will continue to share our progress in meeting this mid-term goal, while we continue our near-term focus on the embedded memory module where we are making good progress.
