Asure Software (NASDAQ: ASUR) Sets the Tone for 2023 with Intuit (NASDAQ: INTU) TurboTax and ZayZoon Collaborations, While Institutional Investors Boost Positions

Benzinga

By Spotlight Growth U.S. stocks surged in January 2023, as Q4 2022 financial results were not quite as bad as many analysts and experts feared. As a result, the S&P 500 (NYSE: SPY) jumped 6.18%, Dow Jones Industrial Average (NYSE: DIA) climbed 2.83% and the Nasdaq (NASDAQ: QQQ) shot up a whopping 10.6% in January 2023 alone. According to S&P Global, the somewhat better-than-expected Q4 results, combined with a late Santa Claus rally and early-year bargain hunting after a brutal 2022, are seen as the key catalysts that drove U.S. stocks to impressive returns to kick off the first month of 2023. However, as we approach March 2023, the “big three” stock indices have since given up nearly all of their gains. As of this writing, the S&P 500 and the Dow Jones Industrial Average have turned slightly negative on the year, while the Nasdaq barely holds on to a 0.08% gain YTD. Despite the continued volatility and “kangaroo market” conditions in early 2023, Asure Software (NASDAQ: ASUR) is picking up right where it left off in 2022. The Human Capital Management (HCM) solutions provider has continued its outperformance, as the company continues to collaborate and leverage key partnerships and provide small-to-medium businesses (SMBs) with the tools needed to remain nimble during the economic uncertainty, while still attracting top-tier employee talent. Asure’s strong 2022 performance and strong start to 2023 are certainly turning heads in the institutional investor community. Let’s dive deeper to understand Asure’s early accomplishments so far this year. New ASUR Collaboration: TurboTax, H&R Block, & ZayZoon Kicking off 2023, Asure sought to bolster its tax prep integrations and features to help employees of SMBs to streamline their tax filing process. To accomplish this task, Asure Software teamed up with the two biggest consumer tax preparation companies in the United States: Intuit (NASDAQ: INTU) TurboTax and H&R Block (NYSE: HRB). The TurboTax and H&R Block integrations are a massive milestone for Asure. Not only does the integration help boost Asure’s profile, but it is also a tremendous win for the company’s clients, which now can offer their employees with streamlined integration of their W-2 tax forms directly into the number 1 and 2 market leaders in the consumer tax prep industry. According to AccountingToday, TurboTax is the number one consumer tax prep company, with an estimated market share of around 30%. Slintel notes that H&R Block is second with a 24.48% market share. “Our goal is to simplify HR and payroll processes for small businesses, which includes identifying ways to help our clients attract new employees now that the war for talent has hit Main Street,” said Pat Goepel, Chairman and CEO of Asure. “We are thrilled to partner with Intuit and offer employees of our clients a seamless and efficient solution for tax filing.” Intending to help SMB clients continue increasing their competitiveness for top-tier employee talent, Asure’s most recent partnership with ZayZoon is a perfect match. ZayZoon is engaged as a market leader in earned wage access and employee financial wellness services. Under the partnership, ZayZoon will integrate its tech solutions with Asure’s payroll and time & attendance solutions to enable employees to obtain real-time wage data. The goal of this integration is to provide SMBs with tools to help employees stay engaged, reduce financial stress and increase retention and productivity. “Financial pressures can impact employees across all industries and job types. By partnering with ZayZoon we can help ease that burden by offering small business employees the option to access the funds they've earned faster when they need them most," said Pat Goepel, Chairman and CEO of Asure. “Earned wage access is fast becoming a necessity in the war for talent and we’re pleased to join forces with ZayZoon to deliver this competitive advantage to main street.” Wall Street Taking Notice of Asure Software One of the greatest forms of validation a public company can receive is strong support from the Wall Street community. Before October 2022, Asure’s top investors were mostly corporate insiders and managers. By the end of 2022, institutions were piling into the HCM provider. Aside from institutional investors, the Wall Street analyst community has been very bullish and supportive of Asure Software as well. Between November 2022 and February 2023, 50 institutions, insiders and big private investors added to their Asure Software positions, while 29 entities cut their positions in the HCM provider. This is a very good parity, which nearly shows there were two investors adding shares for each seller during the period. Top Institutional Shareholders 1. Private Capital Management, LLC: 3,797,305 shares of ASUR Private Capital Management, LLC is a Florida-based asset manager and the largest institutional shareholder of Asure Software, as of December 31, 2022, with a total stake of just under 3.8 million shares. This gives the investor 18.84% control of the company, as noted in a recent 13G filing. 2. ArrowMark Colorado Holdings, LLC: 1,778,292 shares ArrowMark Colorado Holdings aggressively added to its position in late 2022. The Denver, Colorado-based investor increased their stake by an additional 223,525 shares to reach a new total position of 1,778,292 shares, as of December 31, 2022. This represents an 8.82% ownership of Asure Software. 3. Archon Capital Management, LLC: 1,294,987 shares Based out of Seattle, Washington, Archon Capital Management is the third largest shareholder of the HCM provider, with a total stake of 1,294,987 shares, as of the end of 2022. This gives the asset manager a 6.42% stake in Asure. Analyst Updates Since the start of 2023, three analysts covering Asure stock have held their "buy" ratings and increased their price targets in the range of $12 to $14. Joshua Reilly of Needham reiterated his “buy” rating and a $14 price target in early January 2023. Four-star analyst, Eric Martinuzzi of Lake Street, also took the opportunity to reiterate a “buy” rating and a $12.00 price target in January. Vincent Colicchio, a five-star analyst from Barrington, assigned Asure a “buy” rating and a $12 price target in February 2023. Mr. Colicchio joins Richard Baldry of Roth Capital as the only two five-star analysts covering the HCM provider. Mr. Baldry last reiterated a “buy” rating and a $16 price target in March 2022. Overall, Asure Software is finally beginning to gain the recognition from Wall Street it has rightfully deserved. The company’s operational success and resilience amid a very volatile market and uncertain economic environment have certainly caught the attention of the investment community. Furthermore, Asure’s continued partnership outreach and integrations are not only giving SMB clients a notable edge in their HCM efforts but also serving as a validation for Asure as a business. Think about it…not too many other small-caps can say they have partnerships with major, household entities like Intuit TurboTax, H&R Block, Equifax (NYSE: EFX), and more. With 2023 shaping up to feature similar macroeconomic uncertainties as 2022, SMBs will likely continue to heavily rely on HCM services, like those offered by Asure, to help cut costs, streamline operations, and remain competitive in the employee talent search. Overall, 2023 is shaping up to be another break-out year for Asure Software.

Expert Tips for Investing in 2023

YourUpdateTV

The world of money and investing reached an important milestone recently: the 30th anniversary of the very first exchange traded fund launched in the U.S. The SPDR® S&P 500® ETF – simply referred to as “SPY”- made its debut in January of 1993, revolutionizing the way investors big and small invest. 30 years later SPY has become the largest exchange traded fund in the world, with more than $355 billion in assets. But what is an ETF? How do they work? And how do we know which one is right for us? Recently, Allison Bonds, Head of Private & Independent Wealth Management at State Street Global Advisors participated in a nationwide satellite media tour to discuss the 30th anniversary of SPY and the impact ETFs have had on investors. A video accompanying this announcement is available at: https://youtu.be/0ovMXGxmqKc While ETFs are not new, even the most novice of investors can now transform their investment portfolios and potentially reduce the cost of investing. According to a recent study from State Street Global Advisors, over half of U.S. investors with ETFs in their portfolio believe they have made them a better investor, and nearly 60% say ETFs have improved the overall performance of their portfolio. Today, ETFs have become core building blocks for investors making decisions about where to put their money to work in the market. The growth of ETFs to include different types of funds in a variety of asset classes has further added to their appeal with investors who value having choices. Overall, the perceived benefits ETFs have brought to investors globally is overwhelmingly positive- whether or not they even own ETFs. More than half agree ETFs are an investor-friendly investment product (58%) and are better diversified than other investment products (54%). Toward the end of 2022 SPY was trading three times more than Apple — the largest security in the world by market cap. That volume, combined with the size of SPY’s assets,, liquidity, and resilience, has been vital to investors as they construct asset allocation portfolios and navigate extreme market events.

News Release

Web3 and the Metaverse embrace trust and privacy with Liquid Avatar's ‘Proof of Humanity’ technology

Market One

Jim Gordon Hi, I am Jim Gordon and you're watching Market One Minute. Joining us is David Lucatch, CEO, President and Chair of Liquid Avatar Technologies. David, welcome. David Lucatch Thank you for having me here today as well. Jim Gordon Great to have you, sir. Okay. What is Proof of Humanity and why is it important to the evolution of the internet? David Lucatch Well, Proof of Humanity is the ability to prove that I'm a real person. So what does that really mean at the end of the day? Well, we know that online, we're usually anonymous and we have no data. We use a username and a password to get in and we could have 50 accounts, we could be good we could be bad, we could be fake, there's so many opportunities when we think about no identity. Then at the other end of the spectrum there is what we call KYC, Know Your Client or Customer, which is a bank rate verification which proves I am exactly who I am, and that usually means that I have to give up my driver's license or passport. And in many cases, that's too much information to either give out or to put in someone's hands. Proof of Humanity is in the middle. It allows me to verify that I'm a real person using biometrics verifying my device and self-attesting, giving my age. That creates a verifiable credential. It creates a piece of encrypted data that you can use at your discretion to pass to websites and organizations when you want to prove that you're a real person. The benefit of it is that you can use that Proof of Humanity instead of a username or password when signing onto a website or any type of online platform. This creates value for the user and for the system because they know only real people are inside their platform. Jim Gordon And can you explain to us how digital footprints support online economic growth? David Lucatch Well, when you think about digital footprints or Proof of Humanity and economic growth, many sites today are plagued by fake accounts, duplicate accounts, and even bad actors. People who presume to be someone else and do potentially nefarious things. Proof of Humanity puts everybody on the same level playing field. It creates the ability for me as a user to share information when I choose to do so and still remain anonymous. That allows websites and other organizations and other platforms to really create new and engaging services based on having real people on their platform, which has great economic value because I'm not servicing or managing bad accounts or fake accounts and I'm able to grow my business with real users and real data. Jim Gordon Okay David, you've explained to us how digital footprints support online economic growth. How is Liquid Avatar Technologies helping to make this happen? David Lucatch Well, at Liquid Avatar, we really focus it on three things. We focus on digital footprints, avatars, and digital goods and the Metaverse. And if we really look at the beginning digital footprints, digital footprints help us assure, create high levels of assurance that all the users in our platforms are real people. We can also take that those credentials are transportable, so users from our platform can take them to other platforms that are enabled with Proof of Humanity and the Liquid Avatar mobile app that is now available in over a hundred countries, and regions around the world. This allows us to support the economic growth of the emerging Web 3.0 environment as we move from Web 2.0. Jim Gordon And what will be the key revenue drivers for the company? David Lucatch So when we look at the key revenue drivers behind digital footprint, we look at the credential itself that a company may want to have. So if you work for an organization and you're online they may want you to have a credential that proves that you're a real person and may also prove who you are. And so creating those credentials initially has a start-up cost which creates economic value for Liquid Avatar. Plus, the use of those credentials will have small micro charges that are transactional. And there's lots of different types of credentials, not only proof of humanity and full digital identity, but we look at marketing credentials and access credentials and validation credentials for a whole load of different opportunities in the emerging Web 3.0 ecosphere. Jim Gordon And lastly, what do you believe is the main catalyst for this next evolution? David Lucatch Well, I think as we move from Web 2.0 to Web 3.0, and I know that a lot of people are thinking, well, what's Web 2.0? And what's Web 3.0? Web 1.0 was the informational age, Web 2.0, it was the social media age. And as we go to Web 3.0, which includes immersive technologies like the Metaverse virtualization, augmented reality, extended reality, all the new types of things that will really create immersive environments. I think it behooves ourselves to ensure that we have only real people in our platforms. But because there's been no type of identity verification, that's allowed bad accounts, fake accounts, duplicate accounts, to permeate the ecosphere, and as such really creates a lesser value for both individuals and online sites. I think by driving forward with Proof of Humanity and digital credentials and the digital footprint, we're going to see great economic growth. Jim Gordon David, thank you for joining us.

Shareholders Call Out JPMorgan Chase for Aiding & Abetting Jeffrey Epstein While De-Banking Conservatives

National Legal & Policy Center

Following the disclosures released last week that megabank JPMorgan Chase & Co. (“Chase”) knowingly allowed sex trafficker Jeffrey Epstein to maintain accounts with which he made multiple payments to his victims – collectively exceeding $1 million – two shareholder groups are pointing out hypocrisy at the bank, and are calling upon it to implement transparency measures and to disclose its policies about whom it does and doesn’t provide services to. According to information in a federal lawsuit by the government of the Virgin Islands against Chase, as early as 2006 the bank’s Global Corporate Security Division flagged “[s]everal newspaper articles... that detail the indictment of Jeffrey Epstein in Florida on felony charges of soliciting underage prostitutes.” According to a report by LawAndCrime.com, four years later Chase’s risk management division raised questions in an internal email about fresh accusations against Epstein. “See below new allegations of an investigation related to child trafficking – are you still comfortable with this client who is now a registered sex offender[?]” The concerns were dismissed and Epstein’s accounts at Chase remained open. Both National Legal and Policy Center and the Free Enterprise Project at the National Center for Public Policy Research own stock in Chase, and have introduced shareholder proposals ( NLPC’s, FEP’s ) that address different aspects of the company’s troubling practice of closing accounts of conservatives without warnings or honest explanations. In their respective proposals, both NLPC and FEP cite past examples where Chase has “de-banked” activists and organizations, including the nonprofit National Committee for Religious Freedom, which “proactively defend(s) the constitutional rights of religious freedom” for “all Americans.” The NCRF was founded by Sam Brownback, the former U.S. Ambassador-at-Large for International Religious Freedom. Ambassador Brownback also served honorably as a Congressman, U.S. Senator, and Governor for the state of Kansas. Chase shuttered NCRF’s account and since then provided false explanations, and then stonewalled about the reasons for the closing. Only now, Chase is asking the Securities & Exchange Commission to let it exclude both proposals ( NLPC, FEP ) from being presented at the company’s annual meeting of shareholders, in an attempt to evade accountability for its discriminatory de-banking practices. “This is evil; Chase let the cash flow to aid and abet Jeffrey Epstein’s sick and disgusting global sex trafficking operation,” said Paul Chesser, director of NLPC’s Corporate Integrity Project. “But they shut down its services to a praiseworthy and respectable initiative by an upstanding public servant, and want to hide the reasons for it all from shareholders. The bank is obviously embarrassed and it should be.” “Chase is a too-big-to-fail bank, so it gets to keep its profits, while all taxpayers – not just leftwingers – backstop its losses,” said Scott Shepard, Director of FEP. “Chairman and CEO Jamie Dimon talks a good game about recognizing the folly of woke corporate governance, apparently without realizing that that’s how his shop is run. After these Epstein revelations, it’s time for Congress and the states to investigate Chase and to bar it from doing business until it ends its petty partisan discrimination.” Founded in 1991, NLPC promotes ethics in public life and government accountability through research, investigation, education, and legal action. Please visit http://www.nlpc.org. The National Center for Public Policy Research, founded in 1982, is a non-partisan, free-market, independent conservative think-tank. Ninety-four percent of its support comes from individuals, less than four percent from foundations and less than two percent from corporations. It receives over 350,000 individual contributions a year from over 60,000 active recent contributors. Contributions are tax-deductible and may be earmarked for the Free Enterprise Project.
