Tue Tinybeans photo sharing app soared more than 10% today after sharing an update that its ?Beanstalk? paid subscription service has acquired more than 3500 new paying subscribers since launch in August 2021. In a bid to facilitate subscription growth, the company said advertising revenue is on track to reach record high levels in Q1 FY22.
Making headlines, shares in Wesfarmers dipped today after Sigma Healthcare closed its books to Australian Pharmaceutical Industries, meaning API no longer has access to review Sigma?s financials, contracts, etc. The relevance of this to Wesfarmers is that Sigma was interested in merging with API, however following last week?s news of Wesfarmers buying a 19.3% stake in API, Sigma has taken the back seat to close off its books to API as a Wesfarmers full takeover looks likely.
