Strong numbers indicate traction but still early days for DOU

- Android App in ‘late stage development’
- Savings Jars on track for Q4

A picture emerges of a company in the early stages of its development, with a few key milestones in the offing.
Douugh Wealth stands as the biggest major hurdle and the company provided no time frame on that deployment in this update.
Outlook for DOU share price
DOU shares are still in a downtrend despite today’s uptick, and it’s possible a consolidation phase may ensue.
Investors could be looking for a major bit of news flow as a catalyst to a big move.
If all that sounds vague, consider this:
DOU is entering an increasingly competitive market, despite having some relatively unique product offerings.
The key will be to maintain uptake levels and grow the platform, while at the same time building trust in the platform to ensure customer retention.
Companies like Square Inc [NASDAQ:SQ] come to mind.
It’s not just about the ability to win market share, but the ability of the company to successfully satisfy the desires of a new generation of investors and savers.
I’ve got little doubt that the big banks will face competition from the likes of DOU in the years to come.
