New York, NY - Toronto, ON – October 15th, 2019 – NexTech AR Solutions (the “Company” or “NexTech”) (OTCQB: NEXCF) (CSE: NTAR) (FSE: N29) is pleased to announce that Lisa Thomson of Zacks Small Cap Research has initiated coverage of NexTech with a price target of $1.50 USD.
From the report:
NexTech AR (OTC:NEXCF) is a small, B2B startup based in Toronto that was formed to provide services for, and invest in, businesses using Augmented Reality (AR) and hologram technologies. These technologies are used to improve sales and profits for eCommerce sites, and other verticals such as entertainment. This technology converts two-dimensional images of real objects and people into three dimensions using scanners and software. Using AR is a proven way to boost sales and reduce returns in eCommerce, and provides an engaging, economic way to provide information in the education and training space.
‣ Augmented Reality (AR) is just beginning to make its way into mainstream use and the market is exploding. NexTech AR is the only public pure play we know of that is providing services to allow companies to use AR in marketing and advertising their goods. At a price to vendors of $30 per month per SKU, adoption of just a tiny percent of the trillions of products sold worldwide will create a massive revenue stream for NexTech AR.
