4 Canadian Tech Takeover Targets with Surging Revenue

Published:

Reading time: 5 min.

A weaker dollar makes the Canadian tech takeover targets on our list more appealing to their U.S. counterparts

SmallCapPower | November 17, 2016: With the recent announcement of GE buying Vancouver startup Bit Stew for $153mm, one may wonder if a weaker Canadian dollar has made technology companies north of the border more appealing. The Canadian tech takeover targets on our list today have seen revenues increase by 81% at the bare minimum yet have seen year-to-date valuations drop by 32% to 50%. Even though these names are operating at a loss, a larger organization may believe they can turn them profitable under their management and expanded network.
