Under Construction: Four Stocks Capitalizing on the U.S. Building Boom

JFB PLD LEN TOL

The U.S. construction industry is showing robust growth in 2025, with total construction spending reaching an annualized $2.19 trillion as of March—up nearly 3% year-over-year. Residential demand remains strong amid affordability pressures, while commercial, industrial, and infrastructure projects continue steady expansion. This broad-based momentum is creating fertile ground for companies operating across the construction and real estate sectors to capitalize on rising opportunities and innovation. With that solid industry tailwind, let’s explore four stocks making waves in this dynamic market. JFB Construction Holdings (Nasdaq: JFB) continues to build on its momentum in 2025, announcing this week that it has signed over $69.5 million in new construction and development contracts across a broad range of verticals, including hospitality, commercial retail, industrial, high-end residential, and real estate development. The new deals come on the heels of a standout first quarter that saw JFB report a 93% year-over-year revenue increase, further solidifying its early status as one of the more intriguing small-cap entrants in the real estate and construction space. “This achievement is such an important milestone for our company,” said CEO Joseph F. Basile, III, noting that the diverse portfolio of new projects reinforces JFB’s ability to leverage its relationships and operational strengths across multiple sectors. “Our ability to keep our promises to our customers remains paramount to our continued success.” Since its Nasdaq debut in March via a $5.16 million IPO, JFB has been aggressive in securing high-value projects that reflect both its operational ambition and sector versatility. In April, the company kicked off construction on its largest residential development to date—a $21 million, 79-unit luxury townhome community in Port Salerno, Florida. That was followed by the announcement of a $15 million contract for a 103,000-square-foot luxury auto storage facility in Charlotte, NC, marking the company’s largest industrial project to date. Earlier this month, JFB deepened its push into the hospitality sector, signing two significant deals with Marriott Hotels. The first—a $18 million co-development of a new Courtyard by Marriott in Olive Branch, Mississippi—showcased JFB’s evolution into a true development partner. The second was a $6.7 million contract to convert a Holiday Inn into a Courtyard by Marriott in Melbourne, Florida. According to Basile, these back-to-back hospitality wins are expected to be “key to establishing long-term brand relationships and future pipeline growth.” Taken together, these recent announcements offer a clear picture of JFB’s post-IPO strategy: secure high-value, high-visibility projects across multiple sectors while reinforcing its brand as a versatile, trustworthy contractor with national reach. As of May, JFB has provided services in 36 states and is increasingly targeting regions with rapid population growth and infrastructure demand. JFB appears to be executing on its growth blueprint with speed and focus. The $69.5 million in new contracts is not only a headline number, it’s a statement that JFB aims to scale aggressively while maintaining the relationship-driven, hands-on approach that built its foundation. Prologis (NYSE: PLD) continues to reinforce its position as the backbone of global logistics infrastructure. The industrial REIT recently declared another $1.01 per-share quarterly dividend—unchanged from the March payout and part of a 5% year-over-year increase—underscoring its stability and ongoing commitment to shareholder returns. The company’s Q1 earnings report highlights a robust balance sheet, including $6.5 billion in available liquidity and a low debt-to-EBITDA ratio of 4.9x. With 96% of equity exposure and nearly all forecasted earnings through 2027 denominated in or hedged to the U.S. dollar, Prologis remains well insulated from currency volatility. In April, Prologis led an initiative with other major industrial REITs to standardize non-GAAP property metrics such as occupancy, retention, and rent change—an effort aimed at improving sector-wide transparency and investor comparability. The move reinforces Prologis' position as a sector leader not just in scale, but in setting best practices across the industry. With a weighted average interest rate of just 3.2% on total debt and a long-term funding horizon, PLD enters the second half of 2025 with substantial financial flexibility and sector-defining relevance. While smaller names are chasing growth, Prologis is proving that size and discipline remain powerful long-term advantages. Lennar Corporation (NYSE: LEN) continues to navigate a challenging housing market while executing its strategic shift toward an asset-light, technology-driven homebuilding model. The company reported first quarter 2025 revenues of $7.2 billion, driven by a 6% rise in home deliveries to 17,834, even as average sales prices softened slightly to $408,000 amid persistent affordability pressures. Lennar’s operational efficiency improved, with cycle times down 11% year over year and inventory turns increasing to 1.7 times, reflecting tighter inventory management. The company’s disciplined use of incentives, including interest rate buydowns, has helped maintain sales momentum and manage supply despite a macroeconomic environment marked by high inflation and consumer uncertainty. Financially, Lennar remains solid, ending the quarter with $2.3 billion in cash and no borrowings on its $3 billion revolving credit facility. Its balance sheet strength was further bolstered by a $703 million share repurchase program and the completion of the Millrose spin-off, which accelerates Lennar’s transition to a pure-play homebuilder. The acquisition of Rausch Coleman Homes expanded Lennar’s presence in key Southern and Midwestern markets, reinforcing its geographic footprint. Meanwhile, the company continues to grow its multifamily segment through Quarterra Multifamily, which recently launched leasing at The Ansel, a luxury apartment community in Frisco, Texas. Looking ahead, Lennar expects second quarter home deliveries of 19,500 to 20,500 and anticipates maintaining gross margins near 18%, underscoring its focus on balancing growth with profitability as market conditions evolve. Toll Brothers (NYSE: TOL) reported solid Q2 fiscal 2025 results on May 20, 2025, while expanding in luxury residential markets through new home communities and apartment developments. For the quarter ending April 30, 2025, Toll Brothers posted net income of $352.4 million, or $3.50 per diluted share, compared to $481.6 million, or $4.55 per share, a year earlier. The prior year included a $124 million land sale gain, which when excluded, offers a more comparable basis. Home sales revenues reached a record $2.71 billion, up 2% year-over-year, driven by a 10% increase in home deliveries to 2,899 units. Net signed contract value declined 11% to $2.60 billion, and backlog fell 7% to $6.84 billion. Margins remained steady with a home sales gross margin of 26.0%, slightly above last year’s 25.8%. Adjusted home sales gross margin stood at 27.5%, reflecting effective cost controls amid inflation. Chairman and CEO Douglas Yearley, Jr. highlighted Toll Brothers’ diversified luxury portfolio and strategic discipline, noting, “Record home sales revenues significantly exceeded expectations, underscoring broad appeal across price points and markets.” The company increased its quarterly dividend by 9% to $0.25 per share, signaling confidence in cash flow and shareholder returns. Toll Brothers Apartment Living, the rental division, recently opened Navona, a 400-unit luxury apartment community in Mesa, Arizona, featuring upscale finishes, smart home tech, and resort-style amenities tailored to one of Phoenix’s fastest-growing submarkets. In single-family housing, the company announced Toll Brothers at HighPoint, a gated Scottsdale community with 122 home sites priced from $1.9 million, and final opportunities to build in Laurel Pointe, Orlando, with homes from $1.7 million. Toll Brothers invested approximately $723 million in land during Q2, adding 4,380 lots and growing its land bank to roughly 78,600 lots to support future growth. The company reaffirmed fiscal 2025 guidance of 11,200 to 11,600 home deliveries and an adjusted home sales gross margin near 27.25%, ending the quarter with $686.5 million in cash and $2.19 billion in available credit. With its leadership in luxury homebuilding, expanding multifamily portfolio, and strong financial footing, Toll Brothers is positioned to meet ongoing demand for high-end housing.

Giant Mining Advances Majuba Hill with Completion of 5,484.5 Ft Spring 2025 Drill Program

Giant Mining Corp.

VANCOUVER, BC — May 19, 2025 — Giant Mining Corp. (CSE: BFG | OTC: BFGFF | FWB: YW5) (CSE:BFG.WT.A) (“Giant Mining” or the “Company”) is pleased to announce the successful completion of Phase 1 of its 2025 spring diamond core drilling program ( "Core Program" ) at the Majuba Hill Porphyry Copper-Silver-Gold Project ( "Majuba Hill" ) in Pershing County, Nevada. Equipment demobilization has concluded, and the Company is now preparing for comprehensive analysis of drill core samples, aiming to define geological controls and further delineate mineralization. A total of five drill holes, MHB-32 through MHB-36, were completed for a combined 5,484.5 feet (1,671.68 meters) of core drilling. This brings the cumulative total of drilling at Majuba Hill to 89,395 feet (27,247.5 meters), which will significantly enhance the Company’s geological model and support future deposit development. Table 1: Majuba Hill 2025 Drill Program Collar Details The primary objective of the Core Program was to step out from and expand the known zones of copper mineralization and advance the Majuba Hill Project toward completing a Mineral Resource Estimate ( “MRE” ). All drill core was transported to Giant Mining’s secure core facility in Elko, Nevada, where it was logged, sawn, and sampled by Company personnel. The samples were submitted to ALS Global Services ( “ALS Labs” ) for geochemical analysis, with sample preparation completed at their Elko facility and final assaying conducted at their laboratory in Vancouver, British Columbia. David Greenway, CEO of Giant Mining, commented: “The 2025 drill season has been our most exciting and technically ambitious to date. We began the program with strong visual mineralization that exceeded expectations, prompting us to add a fifth drill hole—MHB-36—guided by AI-assisted geophysical modeling. This AI-predicted target intersected promising mineralization, suggesting a potential new discovery and was a meaningful step-out from previously defined zones. Notably, MHB-33 was drilled to a depth of 1,963 feet and encountered significant native copper, expanding our understanding of the scale and potential of the Majuba Hill Copper-Silver-Gold system. We now eagerly await assay results from ALS Labs as we work toward completing an NI 43-101 Mineral Resource Estimate to support future development plans.” Key highlights include: MHB-32 – Starting with a Bang Core Hole MHB-32 was completed to a total depth of 889.5 feet (271.1 meters). The hole intersected copper-bearing magmatic-hydrothermal breccias with secondary copper minerals, including azurite, malachite, and chalcocite. These transitioned into strongly oxidized copper sulfides, with primary, unoxidized chalcopyrite near the bottom of the hole.

These results indicate a robust porphyry system at depth and suggest proximity to a primary copper sulfide source. MHB 36 – An A.I. Driven Step Out Discovery and Potential Deposit Extension Click Image To View Full Size   The fifth and final drill hole of the Core Program, MHB-36, was planned for a total depth (TD) of 1,000 feet (304.8 meters). This hole was designed by Exploration Technologies ( “ExploreTech” ) using its proprietary AI-assisted geophysical modeling system to test a high-potential resistivity anomaly delineated in the southern sector of the Majuba Hill project area. The AI-driven targeting approach aimed to identify geologically favorable zones with potential for new copper mineralization beyond the existing mineralization footprint.

Right: Downhole plot of drilling results and ExploreTech prediction, showing predicted probability of sulfide mineralization and the true intersection (dashed grey). Due to the intersection of the sulfides predicted by modeling the hole was extended to 1100 feet (335.28 meters). MHB-36 intersected disseminated and vein-hosted chalcopyrite mineralization within intrusive and magmatic hydrothermal breccias, beginning at a downhole depth of 650 feet (198 meters). Mineralization was observed intermittently beyond 905 feet (274.32 meters), confirming the accuracy of the AI model and highlighting the potential for further extensions of copper-bearing zones in this underexplored area.

Demand for Drones Shows No Sign of Slowing: 4 UAV Stocks To Keep On Your Watchlist

ZENA UAVS DPRO RCAT

Drones are rapidly becoming an integral part of our daily lives thanks to their versatile nature. From agriculture and logistics to defense and data collection, drones are transforming not only how businesses operate but the broader society as well. In fact, governments are now adopting supportive regulations to ensure the safe integration of drones into civilian airspace. Meanwhile, public and private investments are increasing in drone-related technologies, setting the stage for massive growth among select UAV stocks. With recent research from Mordor Intelligence suggesting that the global drone market could surge to about $74 billion by 2030, here are four stocks that investors should consider adding to their watchlist: ZenaTech (NASDAQ:ZENA) is a technology company specializing in AI drones, Drone as a Service (DaaS), enterprise SaaS, and quantum computing solutions for mission-critical business applications. The company recently announced that it had started expanding its United Arab Emirates (UAE) presence by establishing a new office to sell Drone-as-a-Service (DaaS) offerings in Dubai. Initially the office will focus on delivering drone-powered cleaning services for building exteriors using the IQ Square drone tethered to a water pipe and electrical cord. This move opens up a new area of growth, considering the broader drone cleaning services market is projected to reach $13.2 billion by 2030. Apart from that expansion, ZenaTech has been aggressively pursuing multiple revenue growth opportunities, which look set to begin paying off soon. For instance, its ZenaDrone subsidiary recently received approval from the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) to conduct commercial agricultural operations, opening it up to the global agriculture drone market, projected to be worth at least $23.78 billion by 2032. Another potentially lucrative opportunity that ZenaTech is pursuing is environmental conservation with its drone-based early wildfire detection system. This new system has the potential to transform wildfire prevention using the ZenaDrone 1000 multifunction autonomous AI drone equipped with thermal imaging and LiDAR technology. The system has already received market validation as the company plans to start conducting onsite testing and evaluation with a prospective California business customer seeking to protect its 400-acre rural outdoor tourist attraction business from wildfires. More importantly, ZenaTech plans to apply for the Blue UAS (Unmanned Aerial Systems) certification that lists and validates drones for military and government use, illustrating its commitment to improving its drone solutions. In the meantime, ZenaDrone is testing a new proprietary specialized camera that enables more efficient indoor applications, such as inventory and security management, when utilizing IQ Nano drone swarms for commercial and US defense applications. This could be crucial addition Military and defense departments use small autonomous indoor drones like the 10X10 inch IQ Nano for various applications such as inventory management, indoor building reconnaissance, search and rescue, training simulations, and explosives detection. AgEagle Aerial Systems Inc. (NYSE:UAVS) is a leading provider of unmanned aerial systems (UAS), sensors, and software solutions for customers worldwide in the commercial and government verticals. The company recently released its FY2024 earnings, revealing revenues of $13.4 million as compared to $13.7 million during the year ended. However, gross profit increased $0.8 million, or 14.5%, to $6.3 million as compared to $5.5 million for the previous year. Total operating expenses decreased $25.7 million, or 57.6%, to $18.9 million as compared to $44.6 million for the prior year, driven by a $6.8 million reduction in operating expenses and impairment charges of $18.9 million. During the period, UAVS received three of the largest product orders in its history, including a 49 UAS eBee Drone order for the French military, a 20 UAS Drone order for the United Arab Emirates security forces, and 60 RedEdge-P multispectral sensors for East Asia, which effectively positioned the company for long-term growth. The company also strengthened its leadership structure with the appointment of globally recognized expert in aerospace, unmanned systems, and robotics, Grant Begley, as chairman of the board. Mr. Begley is a retired U.S. Navy Top Gun pilot and former Director of Tactical Aircraft, Missiles, and UAS. Going forward UAVS believes that the combination of a leaner expense structure, record demand, and a growing product portfolio makes it well positioned to expand its customer base, secure new partnerships, and leverage its innovative drone technologies to capitalize on emerging opportunities in the global UAS market. Draganfly Inc. (NASDAQ:DPRO) develops cutting-edge drone solutions, software, and AI systems. Earlier this month, the company announced its first-quarter earnings, reporting a 16% year-over-year increase in revenue to $1.547 million, with gross profit also increasing 10.7% to $310,088 compared to the same period last year. Among the key highlights of the quarter was the award of a waiver from the FAA under 14 CFR §§ 107.39 and 107.145, allowing Draganfly’s drones to operate over people and moving vehicles. This waiver enables the company to conduct flights beyond standard operational restrictions, facilitating advanced UAV operations in complex urban environments. Draganfly has continued to reaffirm its position as a key player in UAVs with the signing of several partnership deals. For instance, the company recently announced a strategic teaming agreement with Autonome Labs, a humanitarian tech innovator, to develop an integrated aerial deployment solution for M.A.G.I.C. (Mine and Ground Inert Clearance), Autonome’s groundbreaking mesh-based demining system. The collaboration will pair Draganfly’s Heavy Lift drone platform with Autonome’s M.A.G.I.C. system to safely and efficiently deploy demining mesh designed to detonate and neutralize landmines across hazardous terrain. This joint solution enables rapid clearance of explosive threats, significantly reducing risk to human demining teams and accelerating the restoration of safe, usable land. In addition to that, Volatus Aerospace partnered with Draganfly to integrate Volatus' advanced bathymetric LiDAR technology with Draganfly's heavy-lift drone for a pilot project in oil and gas exploration. Red Cat (NASDAQ:RCAT) is a drone technology company specializing in integrating robotic hardware and software for military, government, and commercial applications. It has developed a leading-edge family of systems, including the flagship Black Widow™, a small unmanned ISR system that was awarded the U.S. Army’s Short Range Reconnaissance (SRR) Program of Record contract. Red Cat has reiterated its FY2025 guidance of $80-120 million, driven by military contracts and strategic partnerships, including the recently announced partnership with Palantir Technologies. This collaboration will transform autonomous sUAS operations for modern warfare by utilizing Palantir’s advanced AI software running onboard the drone, which references up-to-date onboard satellite imagery to provide accurate navigation entirely independent of GPS or radio control signals. Earlier this month, the company announced a significant testing milestone in their ongoing collaboration with Palladyne AI, a developer of artificial intelligence software for robotic platforms, after completing an autonomous, cross-platform collaborative flight involving three diverse heterogeneous drones. During this most recent testing, Red Cat’s Teal 2 and Black Widow drones, along with the Palladyne™ Pilot AI software, operated each platform using onboard edge computing and constrained communication protocols without relying on centralized infrastructure for communication. The system enabled real-time, distributed detection and tracking of multiple dynamic and static ground objects—including humans and vehicles—in different regions of interest, providing a single operator with comprehensive situational awareness. At the moment, the company appears well-positioned to capitalize on the global defense drone supercycle against the backdrop of heightened geopolitical tensions and increasing demand for unmanned systems. As a U.S.-based manufacturer and participant in the DoD’s Blue sUAS program, Red Cat should continue to benefit from U.S. legislative support for domestic drone production.

For the six months ending February 28, 2025, the company reported an 11.8% year-over-year revenue increase, alongside a 15.2% rise in gross billings—reaching $9.33 million. At the same time, operating efficiencies helped reduce net losses and improve cash flow. Pineapple cut SG&A expenses by 3.6%, lowered advertising costs by over 60%, and saw a 47% improvement in cash used for operations. “Our second-quarter results highlight the successful transition to an integrated platform, driving meaningful cost savings and enhancing our ability to scale,” said CEO Shubha Dasgupta. “We are now in a position to continue growing revenue at scale while reducing expenses as we move toward profitability.” Investors have taken notice. On May 5, 2025, Pineapple successfully closed a $1.5 million public offering, raising fresh capital to support growth. The company is actively scaling in response to a surge in Canadian mortgage renewals—a trend expected to continue over the next two years. CFO Sarfraz Habib added, “These improvements ensure that we are well-positioned to achieve profitability in the near term, even amid a challenging macroeconomic environment.” In the first quarter of fiscal 2025, Pineapple reported a 34.6% increase in revenue and a 26.8% reduction in net loss, further underscoring the company's accelerating momentum. Its growing footprint, cost discipline, and ability to execute in a volatile market position Pineapple as a compelling fintech stock to watch. As Canada's mortgage landscape continues to evolve—with lower interest rates, policy shifts, and increased housing demand—Pineapple stands to benefit from the rising need for modern, tech-powered financial solutions. With a strong leadership team and a scalable platform, Pineapple Financial is aiming to turn today's investments into tomorrow's profitability. Opendoor Technologies Inc. (Nasdaq: OPEN) is redefining how Americans buy and sell homes through its pioneering e-commerce platform for residential real estate.

From instant cash offers to partnerships with trusted agents, Opendoor empowers customers with choice—all backed by technology and data-driven insights. Opendoor entered 2025 with a clear focus: driving toward profitability while enhancing its customer experience. The company’s first-quarter results demonstrate meaningful progress. For Q1 2025, Opendoor reported $1.2 billion in revenue, marking a 6% increase quarter-over-quarter. The company sold nearly 3,000 homes, with a gross profit of $99 million and a gross margin of 8.6%, up from 7.8% in Q4 2024. Opendoor also continued to narrow its losses, with net loss improving to $85 million, down from $113 million the previous quarter. On a non-GAAP basis, Adjusted EBITDA improved to $(30) million, from $(49) million in Q4. Contribution profit came in at $54 million, representing a 42% increase quarter-over-quarter. The company ended Q1 with a robust inventory of 7,080 homes valued at $2.4 billion, up 26% year-over-year. Opendoor purchased 3,609 homes in the quarter—a 22% increase sequentially—positioning itself well for future sales growth. While homes under contract for future purchase declined, the company remains focused on disciplined acquisition strategies and operational efficiencies. Opendoor’s Q2 2025 guidance reflects continued growth and a potential turning point in profitability. The company expects: Revenue between $1.45 billion and $1.525 billion Contribution profit of $65 million to $75 million Adjusted EBITDA between $10 million and $20 million With improving margins, disciplined cost control, and a clear strategic roadmap, Opendoor is moving closer to positive EBITDA and long-term scalability. As the real estate market evolves and digitization accelerates, Opendoor stands at the forefront of reshaping the U.S. housing transaction experience. Payoneer Inc. (NASDAQ: PAYO) is a global financial technology company on a mission to democratize access to cross-border commerce for the world’s small and medium-sized businesses (SMBs). Founded in 2005, the company has built an end-to-end financial stack that helps millions of entrepreneurs and enterprises—especially in emerging markets—get paid, manage multi-currency funds, and grow globally. With customers in over 190 countries and a presence across 7,000+ trade corridors, Payoneer is a critical infrastructure layer for modern global commerce. In Q1 2025, Payoneer continued to deliver robust growth, with revenue (excluding interest income) rising 16% year-over-year. This performance was driven by 7% volume growth and a 22% increase in average revenue per user (ARPU). Notably, revenue from SMBs grew 18%, led by strong momentum in high-value segments: Marketplace SMBs generated $110 million in revenue, up 8% YoY B2B SMBs grew 37% to $52 million Checkout services nearly doubled YoY to $7 million Payoneer Cards processed $1.4 billion in spend, up 29% YoY This marks the seventh consecutive quarter of ARPU acceleration and underscores the growing adoption of Payoneer’s broader financial services offerings. In early April, Payoneer completed its acquisition of Easylink Payment Co., Ltd., a licensed China-based payment service provider. This move strengthens the company’s regulatory foundation in a key market and enhances its ability to deliver localized, compliant solutions for Chinese exporters navigating global trade. Just weeks later, Payoneer celebrated its 20th anniversary, commemorating two decades of powering global entrepreneurship. The milestone included a $2 million donation to Endeavor, a leading global network supporting high-impact entrepreneurs, and culminated in a Nasdaq closing bell ceremony. These celebrations highlighted Payoneer’s long-term commitment to enabling ambition without borders. Despite strong underlying performance, Payoneer is taking a cautious stance amid global economic uncertainty and has suspended its full-year 2025 guidance. Management cited shifting global trade dynamics and potential headwinds for cross-border businesses as key factors. However, the company remains confident in its long-term strategy, underpinned by a diverse customer base and a differentiated product offering. Payoneer ended Q1 with $6.6 billion in customer funds, up 11% YoY, and continued to return capital to shareholders with $17 million in share repurchases during the quarter. As global trade evolves, Payoneer is uniquely positioned to support SMBs navigating new supply chains, regulatory environments, and digital ecosystems. With a proven track record of innovation, disciplined execution, and a global-first approach, Payoneer is well-equipped to lead the next chapter of cross-border commerce. PagBank (NYSE: PAGS) the digital banking arm of Brazil’s UOL Group, is rapidly solidifying its position as a dominant player in Latin America’s fintech space. With a focus on simplifying financial life for individuals and businesses alike, the company offers a broad suite of services—from digital accounts and mobile payments to credit products and insurance—backed by a robust regulatory framework under Brazil’s Central Bank. In Q4 2024, PagBank posted impressive results, recording net revenue of R$5.1 billion—a year-over-year increase of 18%. Even more compelling was its 21% jump in net income, reaching R$631 million. These gains came despite a volatile macroeconomic environment marked by high interest rates and currency swings. Notably, the company achieved a return on average equity (ROAE) of 15.2%, underscoring its operational efficiency and financial discipline. Growth metrics were equally strong: Total Payment Volume (TPV): R$146 billion in Q4 alone (+28% YoY), R$518 billion for the year (+32% YoY) Customer Base: 33.2 million, with 2.1 million new users added in 2024 Credit Portfolio: R$48 billion (+46% YoY) Deposits: R$36.1 billion (+31% YoY) PagBank’s expanding ecosystem includes 6.3 million merchant clients and nearly 18 million active users who rely on it as their primary banking platform. Continued innovation—such as their Multiple Card (debit + credit) and cashback offerings—has enhanced customer engagement and loyalty. From a financial performance perspective, PagBank has become a consistent earnings beat story. It has topped Wall Street’s EPS estimates for the last two quarters by an average of nearly 12%, with a 17.24% beat in the most recent quarter. Its focus on operational leverage, funding cost reduction, and risk management has built a strong foundation for future growth. Looking ahead, the company maintains a bullish outlook for 2025. It plans to continue investing in technology, expanding its product portfolio, and leveraging its scale to maximize returns. With a current share price under $5, PAGS presents an intriguing opportunity for investors seeking fintech growth in emerging markets, backed by strong fundamentals, consistent profitability, and scalable innovation.

Movavi Software Limited Unveils Solution for Converting MOV Files on Mac

Rev Up Marketers

Movavi Software Limited is excited to announce the launch of its new Movavi Video Converter for Mac, designed to help users easily convert MOV video on Mac to a wide variety of formats. As MOV files are widely used in Apple's ecosystem, they often present compatibility issues when opened on non-Apple devices or software. Movavi's solution offers a way to convert MOV files to formats that are compatible across multiple platforms, ensuring users can seamlessly share, edit, and play their content on any device. Challenges with MOV Files on Mac MOV files are ideal for use within Apple's ecosystem, particularly with QuickTime Player, but they can cause problems when users attempt to open or edit them on non-Apple devices or software. The proprietary nature of MOV files makes them difficult to use across different platforms. To help users get around these issues, Movavi offers a powerful video conversion tool that simplifies the process of converting MOV video on Mac to other formats. Reasons to Convert MOV Files on Mac Converting MOV video on Mac is a common need for those working with video content. Here are some key reasons why users choose to convert MOV files to other formats: Cross-platform Compatibility While MOV is ideal for Apple devices and software, it can cause playback or editing issues on non-Mac platforms and some Windows applications. When you convert MOV video on Mac to formats like MP4 or AVI, you ensure that your video works seamlessly on Windows PCs, Android devices, and a broader range of media players. Web and Browser Support Most web browsers and online streaming platforms do not natively support MOV files. To ensure smooth playback on websites or social media, converting MOV files to more universally supported formats like MP4 is necessary. File Size Reduction and Easier Sharing MOV files, especially high-definition ones, can be quite large. Converting them to formats like MP4 reduces file size, making them easier to upload, share, and store, particularly for devices with limited space. Audio Extraction Sometimes, only the audio is needed from a MOV file for podcasts, voiceovers, or music. Movavi Video Converter makes it easy to extract audio from MOV video on Mac and convert it to popular formats like MP3 or WAV. Editing and Submission Requirements Certain video editing software or platforms may require specific formats, such as MPEG-2 for journal submissions or AVI for use with Windows Movie Maker. Movavi Video Converter ensures that MOV files can be converted to formats that meet these platform-specific requirements. Trimming or Customizing Content If you only need part of a MOV file (for example, to embed a clip in a PowerPoint presentation ), Movavi Video Converter allows you to trim and convert the file, isolating and using just the segment you want. Device and App Optimization Some devices and applications may not support MOV files. Converting MOV video on Mac to optimized formats for specific devices ensures compatibility and smooth playback. Movavi Video Converter Features Movavi Video Converter for Mac provides a fast, high-quality, and user-friendly solution for converting MOV files to over 180 different formats. Key features of the software include: Fast Conversion Speeds: Movavi Video Converter uses SuperSpeed mode to convert MOV files up to 81 times faster than traditional methods without compromising the video quality. AI-Powered Video Upscaling: Enhance the quality of low-resolution MOV files by upscaling video resolution up to 8 times using advanced AI technology. Lossless Compression: Compress MOV files without losing quality, making it easier to store, share, and upload videos while saving space. Advanced Editing Tools: Trim, crop, rotate, and merge MOV videos, adjust color settings, and add subtitles directly within the converter before exporting the final file. Audio Extraction: Extract audio from MOV files and convert it into various audio formats, including MP3, WAV, and AAC. Subtitle Management: Add or find subtitles for MOV files, enhancing the viewing experience, especially for foreign-language content. Movavi Video Converter for Mac provides an intuitive interface, making it easy for both novice and experienced users to convert, enhance, compress, and edit MOV video on Mac. Whether users are converting videos for different devices, reducing file sizes, or preparing content for editing or sharing, Movavi offers a reliable solution to meet their needs.

Nutriband Inc (NASDAQ: NTRB) Solution To Fentanyl Abuse Could Translate To $200 Million In Peak Revenue

NTRB

Nutriband Inc. (NASDAQ:NTRB) is a pharmaceutical company with a specific focus on developing a portfolio of transdermal pharmaceutical products. The company’s lead product under development is AVERSA™ Fentanyl, which is on track to becoming the first-ever abuse-deterrent transdermal fentanyl patch. AVERSA Fentanyl is currently pursuing a 505(b)(2) registration pathway, which should make it eligible for a more expedited review. For context, AVERSA is Nutriband’s proprietary technology that can be incorporated into any transdermal patch to prevent the abuse, misuse, diversion, and accidental exposure of drugs with the potential for abuse, like opioids. What makes AVERSA unique is its aversive agent coating, which leverages taste aversion to deter oral abuse and accidental exposure to transdermal opioid patch products. More than 70% of fentanyl patch abusers choose oral routes to abuse, so taste aversion addresses primary routes of abuse. That means AVERSA technology has the potential to improve the safety profile of transdermal drugs susceptible to abuse, such as fentanyl, while making sure that these drugs remain accessible to those patients who really need them. In one of the company’s recent major corporate milestones, Nutriband announced that it had received notification that its patent had been granted in Macao, which protects its AVERSA abuse-deterrent transdermal technology. The technology is now covered by a broad international intellectual property portfolio with patents issued in 46 countries, including the United States, Europe, Japan, Korea, Russia, China, Canada, Mexico, and Australia, as well as two regions of China: Hong Kong and Macao. Interestingly, the company hasn't been structured to follow the typical biotech standard when it comes to time and cost. The company already has two revenue-generating subsidiaries, 4P Therapeutics and Pocono Pharmaceutical, along with Active Intelligence, which specializes in sports recovery products. Nutriband’s revenues keep its development burn at a minimum. The company also owns its manufacturing and clinical development capabilities, which significantly reduces its costs for AVERSA and other technologies. Most notably, Nutriband partnered with Kindeva Drug Delivery to develop AVERSA Fentanyl, which combines Nutriband’s AVERSA abuse-deterrent technology with Kindeva’s FDA-approved fentanyl patch. Kindeva Drug Delivery is a leading global contract development and manufacturing organization (CDMO) that has a rich history in pharmaceutical innovation and manufactures millions of transdermal patches distributed worldwide. This strong partnership for AVERSA Fentanyl’s commercial development has led to significant progress in the abuse-deterrent patch’s development and manufacturing. Recently the two companies revised their agreement to formalize their exclusive product development partnership and long-term commitment based on shared development costs in exchange for milestone payments. At the same time, Nutriband revealed that it had signed an Associate Partnership agreement with Charlotte FC, which would be instrumental in helping build visibility for its brands, such as AI Tape. Management noted, “We are very excited to partner with an organization such as Charlotte FC as an Associate Partner. Manufacturing many of our products locally in the Charlotte region through our Pocono subsidiary makes this relationship special.’’ AVERSA’s addressable market is huge, depending on how you look at it. For instance, accidental fentanyl misuse is a growing problem, as illustrated by a recent report that revealed there had been 32 cases of accidental fentanyl exposure, which occurred, resulting in 12 deaths and dozens of hospitalizations, mostly involving young children. This is where the technology comes into play, as it significantly reduces the likelihood of accidental exposure to fentanyl for children. Furthermore, AVERSA Fentanyl is well aligned with the FDA’s Opioids Action Plan mission to expand access to abuse-deterrent formulations (ADFs) and to reduce the risks of misuse not just by the patient but also by other persons who obtain opioids. Upon approval of AVERSA fentanyl, the company expects that the FDA will consider requiring all fentanyl patches to be abuse deterrent, as was required for all oxycontin generics, which could potentially translate to more market share. To put the opportunity here into better context, consider this. According to Health Advances’ assessment, once approved by the FDA, AVERSA Fentanyl is expected to reach peak annual sales of about $200 million. The company believes that conservative pricing will be a key component of capturing and maintaining market share in addition to real-world data and marketing. According to the Health Advances’ report on AVERSA Fentanyl, Nutriband can expect to comfortably charge a 20% premium versus generics while maintaining insurance coverage and support, ideally capturing the market as the safest fentanyl patch in its class.
