SURG sits 83% above its 52-week low of $0.339 on elevated volume (10× avg).
Summary
SurgePays secured a critical amendment to its AT&T agreement, resulting in $10.3 million in charge forgiveness and the elimination of $50 million in future minimum spend commitments. This follows an 8-K filed earlier today and comes after the company reported a $12.1 million Q1 net loss and expressed substantial doubt about its ability to continue as a going concern. The forgiveness is expected to generate an $8.5 million gain in Q2 net income and significantly reduce accounts payable, providing a much-needed financial boost. Q2 earnings will confirm the full impact of this agreement.
At the time of this announcement, SURG was trading at $0.62 on NASDAQ in the Technology sector, with a market capitalization of approximately $10.4M. The 52-week trading range was $0.34 to $3.45. This news item was assessed with positive market sentiment and an importance score of 9 out of 10. Source: Wiseek News.
