James Hickman, the CEO, expressed satisfaction with the positive trading momentum, attributing it to strategic measures implemented throughout the year. These measures include strengthening the sales team and expanding the company’s reach, including diversifying the range of currencies and countries available for transactions.
Despite a strong year-to-date performance, with Cornerstone shares soaring by 146%, they still linger 73% below their peak in April 2021.
