What Happened?
Shares of data storage solutions provider Everpure (NYSE: P) jumped 11.6% in the afternoon session after the company announced it completed its acquisition of 1touch, an innovator in data intelligence and orchestration, to bolster its capabilities in artificial intelligence (AI).
The integration of 1touch's technology is intended to help organize and classify enterprise data, making it inherently 'AI-ready.'
