Share count rising — dilution

+401.9% over 4y

Diluted shares outstanding: 211.2M (2021) → 1.06B (2025)

Anoto Group is a Swedish technology company best known for inventing digital pen technology. Its core product is a system that turns handwriting on special paper into digital data in real time. The company sells this technology to businesses in healthcare, education, and government — industries where paper forms are still common but digital records are needed.

Anoto makes money by licensing its patented pen-and-paper technology to other companies and selling software that processes handwritten data. It operates mainly in Europe and Asia, and its patent portfolio is its primary competitive asset. However, the company is very small, loses significantly more money than it earns, and faces a major risk: the world is moving away from paper entirely, which shrinks the market for its core technology over time.

Cash watch

Anoto Group AB has less than a year of cash at its current burn rate. Growth investors should watch for potential share dilution from future fundraising — that directly reduces your ownership.

The Winston Score above measures business quality today. Growth stocks often score lower because they invest in the future rather than maximising current profits. These metrics show what matters most for evaluating that future.
