Shares of Intellicheck climbed after fourth-quarter sales and earnings per share came in ahead of expectations.
The stock gained 21%, to $5.80, Friday morning. Shares have more than doubled over the past 12 months.
The identity-validation company said Thursday afternoon that revenue increased 12%, to $6.6 million, ahead of the $6.2 million analysts polled by FactSet were expecting.
Profit was $1.6 million, or 8 cents a share, up from $488,000, or 3 cents a share, the year before. Wall Street was forecasting earnings of 2 cents a share.
The quarter marked the first time Intellicheck reached operating profitability, Chief Executive Bryan Lewis said.
Lewis said the need for identity-verification technology has taken on new urgency among customers.
