Good morning, team!
What a day it was yesterday. The market always keeps us on our toes, but some of these smaller companies are making moves that are impossible to ignore. We saw a flurry of activity, from biotech breakthroughs to big-money contracts and some fascinating pivots into AI and crypto.
Let’s break down what caught my eye.
The Biotech & Health Sector is Buzzing
This space was on fire yesterday. It feels like every day there’s a new trial or data release that could be a game-changer.
$GNPX (Genprex): This one feels big. Their REQORSA gene therapy is showing positive preclinical results for lung cancer. Anything targeting a disease that impactful is worth watching closely. Positive data at a major conference is a significant milestone, and it often brings more eyes to the stock.
$ONCY (Oncolytics Biotech®): Another potential monster in the making. They reported data showing their treatment for anal cancer had an objective response rate more than double the current standard of care. Doubling the effectiveness of a current treatment is a massive claim and, if it holds up, could be revolutionary. This is the kind of news that can really move a stock.
$VSEE (VSee Health): This is a different kind of health play, but just as interesting. They received FedRAMP High Level authorization from the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services. In simple terms, this is a huge security clearance that opens the door to major government contracts. It’s a massive stamp of approval and de-risks the company in a big way from a government-contracting perspective.
Tech, AI, and Crypto Making Moves
It wouldn’t be a normal market day without some wild moves in tech and digital assets.
$GPUS (Hyperscale Data): These guys are all-in on Bitcoin. Their treasury just jumped to $68.8 million, a 30% increase in just one week. That’s an aggressive accumulation strategy. It makes the stock a direct play on the price of Bitcoin, for better or worse. If you’re bullish on BTC, this is a company that shares your conviction.
$LUMN (Lumen): Lumen is getting a boost by linking up with QTS to connect new AI data centers. This is a classic “selling the shovels in a gold rush” play. As AI demand explodes, the need for high-speed connectivity and data infrastructure skyrockets. Lumen is positioning itself right in the middle of that action.
$OP (Ocean Protocol): They just closed a $120 million investment to create a digital asset treasury focused on the NEAR Protocol for AI. This is a fascinating intersection of AI and blockchain. They’re not just buying crypto; they’re building a strategy around a specific protocol they believe has an edge in the AI race. It’s a bold, high-risk, high-reward move.
$IPDN (Professional Diversity Network): An unexpected collaboration here. They’re teaming up with a European finance firm to explore a global Real World Asset (RWA) exchange. RWAs are a hot narrative, tokenizing things like real estate and bonds. This could be a major pivot for IPDN if it pans out.
$XHLD (ExoAtlet): A simple but effective move. They signed a reseller agreement with Xcyte Digital, allowing them to bundle and sell conferencing products. This is a straightforward way to expand their product offerings and potentially boost revenue without massive R&D costs.
Industrial and Corporate Wins
Don’t sleep on the “boring” stocks. This is where you find some solid, fundamental wins.
$POLA (Polar Power): They landed a military contract for DC generators. Military contracts are the holy grail for many industrial companies—they are often stable, long-term, and lucrative. This adds a layer of security and predictable revenue to the company’s profile.
$CPSH (CPS Technologies): A $15.5 million contract with a global semiconductor manufacturer is a huge vote of confidence. With the world still hungry for chips, being a key supplier in that ecosystem is a great place to be.
$EDUC (Educational Development Corp): They sold their corporate headquarters for $32.2 million. This is a massive cash injection. The big question is: what will they do with the money? Pay down debt? Invest in growth? Buy back stock? This move gives them a lot of flexibility and could be the prelude to a bigger announcement.
What a list. From life-saving cancer treatments to big bets on the future of AI and crypto, there’s a lot to digest. Keep these on your radar today and watch for continuation. As always, do your own research and have a plan.
Trade smart.
