alxpin/iStock via Getty Images Swarmer, a provider of operating systems for drone swarms, went public in what I consider to be an eye-popping IPO, rising 1,000%. While the IPO price action has been eye-popping, the fundamental realities are sobering and eye-opening. In this report, I discuss what the company does, the IPO, and assess a stock price target. Swarmer Provides The Operating System Backbone For Drone Swarms Swarmer was founded in 2023 by Serhii Kupriienko and Alex Fink as a response to the war in Ukraine in order to develop solutions for Ukrainian forces to coordinate drones in contested areas. The company positions itself as the provider of a software layer across fragmented drone hardware systems. The company has three products: Trident OS, which is the company’s core product, enabling autonomous navigation and coordination with other drones. STYX, which provides a Command & Control, or C2, interface allowing the control and coordination of multiple drones and real-time mission management. MINAS, which is the AI layer for autonomy and multi-drone collaboration. The way the architecture works and how the various programs click together is through an operator who is given command and control capability through STYX, with MINAS being the autonomy layer providing multi-drone collaboration capability and Trident OS being the on-drone embedded software. Given that jamming and communication disruption are part of the battlefield, this piece of edge autonomy is crucial. So, Swarmer does not have a single product or Drone OS but a software stack providing solutions over three crucial axes for autonomous drone operations with the ability to organize drones into swarms. In the prospectus summary (Page 1) , the company provides the following description of its proven deployment: Unlike competitors developing capabilities in peacetime laboratory environments, we have maintained continuous combat deployment in Ukraine since 2023, executing over 100,000 combat mission...

Key Points One of the first things you want to do is get your doctor involved in the appeals process. Even if your first appeal fails, don't give up. There are places you can turn to for help with your appeal. The $23,760 Social Security bonus most retirees completely overlook › No matter which type of Medicare you carry -- Original or Medicare Advantage -- you may find yourself dealing with a preapproval or service denial. Claims can be denied for a variety of reasons, including coding errors, Coordination of Benefits (COB) issues, or insufficient proof of medical necessity. If you have Medicare Advantage, you may have found the past few years especially challenging. Not only is healthcare in retirement expensive, but the non-profit organization KFF reports that Medicare Advantage fully or partially denied 4.1 million prior-authorization requests in 2024 alone. Will AI create the world's first trillionaire? Our team just released a report on the one little-known company, called an "Indispensable Monopoly" providing the critical technology Nvidia and Intel both need. Continue » While you probably never considered a Medicare denial as you planned for retirement, all is not lost. Appealing a Medicare denial can be highly effective. While very few Medicare recipients appeal their decisions, the majority of appeals result in Medicare fully or partially overturning the initial denial. Here are the basic steps for making an appeal: Step 1: Understand the denial Review your Medicare Summary Notice (MSN) or Medicare Advantage (MA) explanation carefully to understand why the initial claim was denied. Step 2: Act quickly You generally have 120 days to file an appeal if you have Original Medicare. If you have a Medicare Advantage plan, you'll need to check with your insurer, as they often have shorter deadlines. Step 3: Get your doctor involved Ask your medical provider for a letter detailing why treatment, medication, or specific service(s) are medically necessary. Frequently...

Delivery giant Grab said on Monday it will acquire Delivery Hero’s Foodpanda business in Taiwan for $600 million in cash, marking its first expansion beyond Southeast Asia. Grab noted that the deal is still pending regulatory approval and is anticipated to close in the second half of 2026. The company aims to complete the full transition of users, merchants, and driver-partners onto its platform by early 2027. The move comes roughly a year after Uber Technologies abandoned its planned acquisition of Foodpanda’s Taiwan operations in March 2025, after the deal was blocked by Taiwan’s antitrust regulator over competition concerns. At the time, Uber Eats and Foodpanda were the dominant players in Taiwan’s food delivery market. A recent report showed Foodpanda held a 52% market share, while Uber Eats accounted for 48% between 2022 and 2023. Taiwan’s Fair Trade Commission said the combined entity would have controlled roughly 90% of the market, raising concerns over reduced competition and potential price increases. This case, however, may present a different dynamic. If Grab were to acquire Foodpanda’s Taiwan business, the Singapore-based ride-hailing and delivery firm would gain a market share of just over 50%, positioning it as a stronger competitor to Uber Eats rather than creating a near-monopoly. “This is a natural next step for Grab, as our experience in Southeast Asia is a direct fit for this market. Our longstanding expertise in managing complex delivery logistics for dense and high-traffic cities is well-suited for Taiwan’s bustling cities,” Anthony Tan, Group CEO and Co-Founder of Grab, said in its statement. “Taiwan’s population of approximately 23 million also has a high demand for mobile-first services, similar to the Southeast Asian consumers who Grab serves every day. We see a significant opportunity to grow the food and groceries delivery scene here.” Grab is set to expand its presence to 21 cities across Taiwan after the acquisition, strengthening its fo...

格隆汇3月23日｜据央视财经，中东地区紧张局势持续发酵，对全球航运业的影响正在加速显现。目前，由于不少船东因风险过高而拒绝放舱，导致多家物流公司面临舱位短缺的局面，海运、空运运费也全面上涨。受区域地缘冲突影响，全球供应链面临新的挑战，为此，我国外贸与物流企业正加快调整运输路径与市场布局。面对运输线路受阻，部分企业已迅速完成货物调拨，将原定发往中东的货物转向其他市场。一些外贸企业也正在加速从海运转向陆路运输。业内人士指出，陆运成本整体高于海运，但低于空运，铁路运输如中欧班列，则在成本和效率之间形成平衡。目前，中欧班列已经承担起串联全球供应链的关键角色，在国际物流体系中的作用日趋重要。

Peresmeh/iStock via Getty Images Graphene is a relatively new discovery after being isolated at Manchester University in 2004. The discovery resulted in a Nobel Prize award to two scientists in 2010 . While the Nobel Prize award validates the importance of the discovery, it "can't put money in the bank". Since then, research has focused on how to produce graphene. A Kansas State University professor, Christopher Sorensen, invented and patented a system that produces graphene using acetylene to power the process. The original U.S. patent, number US 9,440,857 B2 (see below) with 51 patent claims, can be searched and further reviewed on the U.S Patent and Trade Mark Office website. Company presentation HydroGraph Clean Power ( HGRAF ) acquired the patent rights and is currently working to launch the unit in the market. Since licensing the original patent. Hydrograph has registered additional issued and pending patents, as noted in the company investor presentation . An exhaustive search did not reveal a more efficacious method of producing graphene than the HydroGraph unit. Due to its unique properties, graphene has the ability to greatly enhance the strength and performance of materials beyond present measures to a new paradigm in scientific and industrial development. For example, it is more than 200x stronger than steel with 100x the electrical conductivity of copper, but incredibly light. The foregoing presents an early-stage potential investment opportunity that could revolutionize material development in multiple industrial applications, as will be further discussed. What is graphene? Graphene is a variety of the carbon element that occurs in small amounts globally. It is the strongest and most conductive material known to man. The molecular structure of graphene is configured in a layered, hexagonal pattern, enabling electrons to pass through graphene at incredibly fast speeds. The layered, hexagonal structure further strengthens the material. When layers of gra...

Natali_Mis/iStock via Getty Images A High-Yield Income Portfolio to Mimic a Standard 60/40 For those looking to generate income from their portfolios versus relying on a safe withdrawal rate [SWR], different fund combinations that have distributions of the underlying capital gains are a good way to do it. In reality, that is what one does when selling shares for income anyway: they sell a certain amount needed for living and leave the rest alone. The standard advice from Bill Bengen and the Trinity study was that 4% in a conservative portfolio allocation should last in perpetuity. Keep in mind, this 4% rate is supposed to adjust for inflation. It has been criticized as being too low to live on for most, but when you take inflation into the calculus, the dollar amount compounds substantially over time. For instance, take a typical $1,000,000 portfolio withdrawing $40,000 per year. If we assume a 2% inflation rate, what is the dollar amount a decade later? It's $48,759 10 years later and $59,437 20 years later . The Goal The goal here is to back-test some combinations of funds that are a mix of closed-end funds and standard ETFs, aiming for a higher, near 7% yield. This gives retirees an income boost while at the same time trying to maintain the conservative mix and exposure of a typical 60/40 stock/bond portfolio. We want to at least match the compound annual growth rate of a traditional allocation and have about the same volatility measured by the portfolio standard deviation. The Portfolio The first part was looking for actively managed closed-end funds with minimal leverage in the fixed-income sphere. Here were the screening criteria: Fixed Income Screen $600 million or larger AUM Effective leverage less than 20% CEF Connect I avoided any high-yield products, which eliminated corporate exposure. Two picks I ended up with were municipal bond funds. I combined two muni funds, The Nuveen Municipal Value Fund and the BlackRock MuniHoldings Fund , with The Vanguard Tot...

ASML Holding NY (ASML) is a Dutch multinational corporation and a foundational pillar of the global semiconductor industry. ASML is the world's sole provider of extreme ultraviolet (EUV) lithography machines, which are essential for etching the microscopic circuits found in the most advanced AI and high-performance chips. By utilizing complex laser-plasma light sources and precision optics, ASML enables chipmakers like TSMC (TSM), Intel (INTC), and Samsung to push the boundaries of Moore’s Law. Headquartered in Veldhoven, Netherlands, the company was founded in 1984. ASML Stock Surges ASML stock reflects a massive 94% surge over the past year. The stock has benefited from a significant re-rating as investor sentiment toward AI infrastructure remains robust. With a market capitalization exceeding $526 billion, ASML has recovered sharply from its 2024 lows, recently hitting a 52-week high of $1,547.22, despite a relatively minor 7% pullback in the last 30 days due to broader market consolidation. In comparison to the Nasdaq 100 ($IUXX), ASML has substantially outperformed the index over the last twelve months. While the Nasdaq 100 has seen strong gains driven by the broader "Magnificent Seven" rally, ASML’s specialized position in the semiconductor supply chain allowed it to nearly double the index's percentage returns.

Tottenham have offered condolences to interim head coach Igor Tudor following the death of his father. The 47-year-old Croatian did not undertake post-match media duties following Spurs' 3-0 home defeat by Nottingham Forest on Sunday for personal reasons. "Everyone at Tottenham Hotspur is deeply saddened to hear of the passing of Igor Tudor's father, Mario," said Spurs in a statement. "Our thoughts and condolences go out to Igor and his family during this incredibly difficult time." Former Juventus boss Tudor was appointed Tottenham boss until the end of the season on 13 February. Italian club Juventus expressed sympathy for Tudor. "Juventus stands with Igor Tudor and his family at this difficult time," the Bianconeri said in a statement on X. "Juventus joins in mourning the passing of his father."

Pope Leo said aeroplanes should be “carriers of peace” and that aerial bombardments should be banned in his latest condemnation of war amid the US-Israeli conflict with Iran. The comments were made by Leo, the Catholic church’s first American pontiff, during a meeting on Monday with staff from the Italian national airline, ITA Airways. “Airplanes should always be carriers of peace, never of war! No one should be afraid that threats of death and destruction might come from the sky,” the pope said. He did not specifically refer to the war on Iran. Leo added: “After the tragic experiences of the 20th century, aerial bombings should have been banned for ever. Instead, they still exist, and technological development, positive in itself, is being placed at the service of war. This is not progress; it is regression!” The pope’s criticism of the war was more pointed on Sunday, when during his weekly Angelus prayer at St Peter’s Square he renewed his appeal for a ceasefire. He described the death and suffering caused by the conflict as a “scandal to the whole human family”. View image in fullscreen Pope Leo during his weekly Angelus prayer at the Vatican on Sunday. Photograph: Vatican Pool/Getty Images He said he had been following the situation with “dismay”. “We cannot remain silent in the face of the suffering of so many people, the defenceless victims of these conflicts. What hurts them hurts the whole of humanity,” the pope added. “I strongly renew my appeal for us to persevere in prayer, so that hostilities may cease and the way may finally be paved for peace.” Leo, who was elected pope in May last year after the death of Pope Francis, has so far been cautious over his engagement with the US president, Donald Trump. He has relied instead on his college of cardinals to directly criticise the US’s decision to go to war in Iran. Earlier this month, Cardinal Domenico Battaglia in Naples addressed an open letter to “the merchants of death” profiting from weapons’ sales, whi...

Shareholders of Tronox Holdings PLC (Symbol: TROX) looking to boost their income beyond the stock's 2.7% annualized dividend yield can sell the August covered call at the $10 strike and collect the premium based on the 80 cents bid, which annualizes to an additional 25.9% rate of return against the current stock price (at Stock Options Channel we call this the), for a total of 28.6% annualized rate in the scenario where the stock is not called away. Any upside above $10 would be lost if the stock rises there and is called away, but TROX shares would have to climb 33.9% from current levels for that to occur, meaning that in the scenario where the stock is called, the shareholder has earned a 44.6% return from this trading level, in addition to any dividends collected before the stock was called.
