When Nuix boss Jonathan Rubinsztein was quoted in the media last week saying the embattled tech company was “very cheap” and a “very attractive acquisition target”, it whipped up speculation that he was either fishing for a bid – or one was coming.
Rubinsztein’s well-timed comments to The Australian Financial Review on Thursday came shortly after the data analytics group reported a net loss of $22.8 million, a 190 per cent fall on the previous corresponding year, and a negative free cash flow of $21.5 million.
