Company profile
Brainchip shares are some of the most popular on the ASX, regularly making the list for traded shares in the week. That's despite the fact the company has a market capitalisation of less than $1 billion.
According to Brainchip, the company is "a global technology company that is producing a ground-breaking neuromorphic processor that brings artificial intelligence to the edge in a way that is beyond the capabilities of other products".
Why the Brainchip share price is down
In a statement to the ASX, Brainchip gave an update on its cash position and activities during the last quarter. Overall, the company experienced a cash outflow of US$2.3 million for a total cash position of US$17.7 million.
