Shares closed at 462.00p yesterday in another vote of confidence for the business after a turbulent year at the top table.
Wandisco also reported that it ended Q1 2017 with cash of $7.6m, reducing cash burn in the quarter to zero.
It said that a combination of strong prior quarter bookings, good cash collection and expense efficiencies were realised in the quarter, along with the receipt of the annual R&D Tax Credit from HMRC.
