The Canadian company, which makes cloud software for law firms, financial services and government, reported a 494 per cent revenue increase last quarter after a slew of acquisitions.

Talking point: Executives refused to take analyst questions on the earnings call, citing acquisition interest from a shareholder group. In May, a group led by the company’s management offered to take it private, less than a year after its public offering.

While no updates were offered on the call, a Tuesday note from CIBC Equity Research suggested a buyout looks “increasingly likely.”
