(Sharecast News) - Online marketplace operator Auction Technology Group posted strong full-year numbers on Wednesday, leading it to provide some solid guidance.
Auction Technology said operating profits increased by 17% to $32.4m in the year ended 30 September, driven by a 5% uptick in revenue to $174.2m, with a notably strong 12% increase in its arts and antiques unit.
