What happened
Synchronoss Technologies (NASDAQ: SNCR) stock popped 21.6% on Friday after the cloud-based enterprise computing and messaging specialist announced its common shares have been approved for listing on the Nasdaq, which means they’ll resume trading on the widely followed index when the market opens on Monday, October 1, 2018.

Synchronoss CEO Glenn Lurie stated:
That’s not to say Synchronoss hasn’t made progress during its hiatus from the Nasdaq. Shares popped in August after it posted mixed second-quarter results relative to expectations — revenue declined a steep 35%, to $76.7 million, but translated to a narrower-than-expected adjusted loss of $0.48 per share.

But investors were most encouraged by Lurie’s prediction last quarter that Synchronoss will return to sequential top-line growth in the second half of 2018, followed by positive free cash flow and continued improvements in bottom-line profitability.
