Highly Incentivized Scramble For Commercial and Residential Solar As Some Energy Bills Expected To Skyrocket 50% - 200%

SinglePoint Inc.

By Michael O'Connor, Benzinga Of the total new electricity-generating capacity added in the United States last year, 46% was solar power. Even as supply-chain disruptions led to increased costs for solar panels, 2021 broke records with more than 500,000 solar installation projects completed in a single year for the first time – ever. Now with the passing of the Inflation Reduction Act, the U.S. solar market could experience even more of a boom — the Solar Energy Industries Association® (SEIA) recently issued a press release around a report on September 8, saying that “the Inflation Reduction Act (IRA) will help the U.S. solar market grow 40% over baseline projections through 2027, equal to 62 gigawatts (GW) of additional solar capacity, according to new forecasts in the U.S. Solar Market Insight Q3 2022 report”. President Joe Biden referenced some of these points in the recent State of the Union address, showing continued dedication to the topic that some companies in the industry noted is a good sign of government follow-through. “The Inflation Reduction Act has given the solar industry the most long-term certainty it has ever had,” said Michelle Davis, principal analyst at Wood Mackenzie and lead author of the report. “Ten years of investment tax credits stand in stark contrast to the one-, two-, or five-year extensions the industry has experienced in the last decade. It’s not an overstatement to say that the IRA will lead to a new era for the U.S. solar industry.” The Biden Administration aims to transition the nation's grid to at least 40% solar by 2035. For this ambitious goal to become a reality, solar energy providers have many panels to install. And large companies in the space, such as First Solar (NASDAQ: FSLR) and Enphase (NASDAQ: ENPH), will benefit significantly from smaller companies that sell and install the projects to the property owners. Occurring at the same time, there are reports of massive price increases for energy that could be digging into businesses' bottom line nationwide and encouraging a significant uptick in commercial solar spending and installation. Wil Ralston, CEO of emerging solar player SinglePoint Inc. (OTCQB: SING), said, “Many of our clients and partners are experiencing unprecedented increases in their electricity bills. As a part of our sales process, we evaluate potential customers’ energy purchasing needs, and we have seen utility bill increases ranging from 50% to 200% on commercial utility prices. Our company aims to help offset and reduce those expenses through direct energy purchases agreements and renewable energy solutions such as solar and energy storage.” While Europe has garnered many headlines for enormous spikes in energy costs primarily due to the conflict between Ukraine and Russia, the U.S. and the rest of the world may be just a little behind. Many businesses that are already being incentivized by the Inflation Reduction Act are most likely experiencing an additional effect of rising electricity costs — the upshot of which could be a unique and crucial time for solar installers and service providers. Ralston added, “Between generous tax credits and rapidly rising energy costs, there never has been a time in the past that the economic decision to go solar has been more obvious to many potential customers. And with SinglePoint’s vertically integrated structure, we feel we are well-positioned to capitalize on the expected surge in solar energy going forward.” SinglePoint is a company working to make the solar industry more customer-friendly. The rapidly growing renewable energy solutions company has been developing a diversified portfolio of services, including the acquisition of The Boston Solar Company, LLC, a leading solar installer based in Massachusetts. The company reported Q3 Revenue of $6,589,227 vs. Q3 2021 of $273,877 — SinglePoint’s strategy has been to build a nationwide network of solar panel installers to help transform the complicated landscape of the solar industry into one that’s easier to navigate for both residential and commercial customers. SinglePoint, with a market capitalization of only $5.37 million, may be worth watching for a positive revolution in the market to reflect this revenue growth.

ESG Stocks Poised To Pop in 2023 (VKIN, ABB, EADSY, NIO)

CapitalGainsReport - Market & Financial News Commentary

Investing in smaller ESG (environmental, social, and governance) stocks can bring a number of benefits to investors. These companies often focus on sustainability and social responsibility, which can lead to strong relationships with stakeholders and a positive reputation. Additionally, smaller ESG stocks are often less established and may have more room for growth, providing investors with the potential for higher returns. ESG factors can also be extremely important in risk management and ensuring the company's long-term stability, which results in a more resilient investment portfolio. According to Dow Jones' survey of 200 financial leaders, ESG investments are projected to more than double in the next three years, accounting for 15% of all investments by 2025. ESG is here for the long run. By considering smaller ESG stocks, investors can align their values and financial goals while potentially reaping the benefits of a more responsible and sustainable investment strategy. Here are four ESG stocks to put on your watchlist for 2023. Viking Energy Group Inc. (OTC: VKIN) is an ESG, growth-oriented, diversified energy company. Viking provides customized energy and power solutions to commercial and industrial clients in North America and holds interests in oil and natural gas assets in the United States through a number of subsidiaries in which it holds a majority stake. Technologies that fall under the VKIN umbrella range from carbon capture to green biodiesel production. Viking Energy also has the licensing rights to the technology of ESG Clean Energy LLC for Canada and 25 other markets in the United States. Last year, VKIN secured a US Patent (No. 11,286,832) relating to the IP and other rights licensed by VKIN from ESG involving a Bottoming Cycle Power System related to its carbon capture technology. The patent covers the invention of an ‘exhaust-gas-to-exhaust-gas-heat exchanger.’ Furthermore, the company owns a majority stake in entities with intellectual property rights to a fully developed, ready-for-market proprietary Medical & Biohazard Waste Treatment System based on Ozone Technology, as well as an Open Conductor Detection System for power grid use. VKIN recently announced an update regarding its medical waste treatment technology. The United States Patent and Trademark Office has granted U.S. Utility Patent No. 11,565,289 to Viking Ozone Technology, LLC, the company's majority-owned subsidiary. The patent is titled "Multi-Chamber Medical Waste Ozone-Based Treatment Systems and Methods." VKIN states that a related international application is in the works, and in the near future, a few nations will be chosen for national phase coverage. The company believes that the approval of this US patent application will result in the issuance of additional related patents in other countries. This utility patent relates to Viking Ozone's proprietary methods and devices utilizing ozone-based treatments for biohazardous waste. Viking expects to use this technology in waste treatment and disposal systems, such as those used in hospitals, prisons, laboratories, military bases, and care facilities. According to the World Health Organization, managing medical waste requires greater diligence and care in order to avoid negative health effects. As the demand for medical waste grows, it is critical to prioritize waste treatment and disposal options that are both safe and environmentally responsible. VKIN is leading the market with their revolutionary patent and should be at the top of any savvy investor's watchlist for ESG stocks in 2023. ABB Ltd. (NYSE: ABB) is a technology leader in electrification and automation, focusing on a more sustainable and resource-efficient future. The company’s solutions connect engineering know-how and software to optimize the way things are manufactured, moved, powered, and operated. ABB announced a fourth-quarter profit of $1.13 billion on Thursday of last week. The Zurich-based business reported 60 cents in earnings per share, beating Wall Street expectations. The average estimate of the four analysts surveyed by Zacks Investment Research was for earnings of 39 cents per share. The industrial automation company outperformed Wall Street expectations with revenue of $7.82 billion during the quarter, whereas the three analysts surveyed by Zacks expected a revenue of $7.58 billion. For the year, the company reported profits of $2.48 billion, or $1.30 per share. Revenue was reported at $29.45 billion. ABB shares have increased by 16% since the beginning of the year. ABB is well-positioned to benefit from growing demand for industrial automation and robotics, while margins are expected to expand as a result of the company’s restructuring. Airbus SE (OTC: EADSY) gains from the theme of "air taxis," which are highly automated aircraft designed to cover short distances of less than 250 kilometers, or around 150 miles. Deloitte Insights estimates that the market for so-called electric vertical takeoff and landing vehicles in the United States could top $17.7 billion by 2040 and reach $3.4 billion by 2025. CityAirbus NextGen is a brand-new flying cab that Airbus unveiled in 2021. By 2035, the company hopes to have the first commercial aircraft with zero emissions. On February 3, EADSY announced they had won a federal contract award for $198,256 from the Department of Homeland Security, U.S. Coast Guard, Elizabeth City, North Carolina, for aircraft parts and Auxiliary Equipment Manufacturing. This just represents one win for the company lately, putting them in the right place to have a solid 2023. Nio Inc.

Freightify secures $12M funding round to power digital transformation for freight forwarders globally

Freightify

Global freight forwarding is a $300B industry that facilitates the movement of cargo from one place to another through a series of manual and legacy processes. Freightify’s freight rate management platform is solving the complex challenges facing freight forwarders and helping them to do more business faster at lower costs. Today, Freightify is announcing a $12M debt & equity Series A funding round to help power digital transformation of Freight forwarders through Freightify’s suite of products. Freightify empowers freight forwarders by providing rate automation solutions to digitize their rate procurement, rate management and quotation processes with ease. The platform allows any forwarder to create a digital storefront to serve their customers better.In addition to this, it includes track and trace solutions that help freight forwarders in getting the live location of vessels and automated milestones within seconds. Freightify’s platform allows freight forwarders to procure, manage and quote freight prices (including all possible ancillary charges) in less than 2 minutes. Freightify’s new funding round will help launch new functionalities and deliver on a strong and expanded product roadmap, expand the sales presence globally, build channel partnerships, strengthen their marketing to drive growth and increase their brand awareness globally as they expand into new geographies and segments. The round was led by Sequoia Capital India with participation from TMV and Alteria Capital. The round also includes returning investors Nordic Eye Venture Capital and Motion Ventures. Founded in 2016 and based in Singapore, Freightify initially started as a marketplace for freight forwarders to conveniently search, book and track freight. This experience in automating sea-freight paved the way to a SaaS pivot. Today, Freightify’s platform, with rate management and quoting capabilities, is able to empower freight forwarders to procure, manage and quote freight prices (including all possible ancillary charges) in less than 2 minutes. Over 200 freight forwarding companies providing global logistics services (across 45 countries) use Freightify to digitize their business. These customers have reported reducing processing time by more than 70% and a substantial cost saving in doing business. Some customers deploy a Freightify white-label platform and have reported an increase in win ratio by more than 20% and a very noticeable increase in retained business. This success has seen revenues at Freightigy triple in the last year as they have attracted large numbers of the top 100 freight forwarders around the world. The founder and CEO, Raghavendran Viswanathan has deep experience working in logistics, supply chain and freight management with companies including DHL and Panalpina. The company’s management and senior staff come from backgrounds including SaaS startups like Freshworks and GoFrugal, logistics tech startups like Fourkites and Trimble, shipping lines like Maersk and MSC, Large forwarders and logistics companies like CON-LINQ ApS, Dachser Denmark and Wiz as well as Big 4 consulting firms like BCG. Raghavendran Viswanathan, CEO of Freightify, commented “For too long, freight forwarders have been restricted to spreadsheets and legacy processes to do business. We set up Freightify to remove the heavy lifting of manually providing quotations, accepting email/telephonic bookings, managing documentation, coordinating and tracking shipments. Freightify solves these challenges by giving them and their customers a live pricing platform like the ones used by travelers to compare airfares, showing real-time rates on a single screen. Freight forwarders are like the travel agents for global trade, however, air travel is not as complicated as global trade. Supply chains require experts to manage cargo throughout the entire lifecycle and freight forwarders play a vital role in greasing the wheels.” He also added, “Freight forwarders using Freightify save more than 70% of the time spent on manual tasks and legacy processes, while halving the operational costs to do business”. The freight forwarding industry is a cornerstone of the global trade economy and despite the massive size, much of the industry remains constrained by manual processes and runs on paper, excel sheets and phone calls. Freightify, a vertical SaaS platform, is solving this problem by helping freight forwarders automate rate management and make every day operational workflows fast and efficient so that they can focus on serving their customers and growing their business. We are glad to be a part of this journey with Raghav and the team at Freightify. ” said Mayank Porwal, VP, Sequoia India Existing investor at Freightify, Nordic Eye’s Investment Partner and Manager, Ib Drachmann added: “We have been impressed by the common vision of the company to democratize technology for the freight forwarding ecosystem. We are happy to see the scale at which Freightify has been growing, adding new logos globally and strengthening their product capabilities. Hence, we are doubling down on backing Freightify.” Raghavendran Viswanathan added: “Various marketplaces around the world are attempting to become the Amazon of services for freight forwarders, which will help. We believe in empowering the freight forwarders and are taking the Shopify route by selling a SaaS product to enable them to manage and create their own communities” Looking ahead, Raghavendran Viswanathan added: “We have been expanding rapidly across Europe, Australia and key regions in Asia pacific, and are currently expanding in North America.
