  • Patented technology creates barrier to entry

With a cash-adjusted forward PE ratio of 10 and a 7.2 per cent dividend yield, this small technology company is below the radar of many investors at the moment. However, the company is in an earnings upgrade cycle, having forced analysts to push through three upgrades already this year, and that follows a decent outperformance in 2021.
