NoSystem images/E+ via Getty Images I wanted to take a look at Virtuix Holdings ( VTIX ) because I was surprised to find out that the company went public this year, and being an avid gamer and an occasional VR-enjoyer, if I’m offered a VR headset, I thought it would be interesting to see behind the curtain at the company and what it’s got to offer going forward. The company Virtuix is a hardware company that makes omnidirectional treadmills and related systems so people can physically walk and run inside virtual, and a lot of the time AI-generated, environments, with its flagship product being Omni One, selling into consumer, enterprise, and defense markets. The company came out of a successful Kickstarter campaign over a decade ago in 2013, where it raised over $1.1 million, and recently became a public company, having started trading back in January of this year and quickly losing a big chunk of its capitalization. It went from around $93 a share to just $3.72 currently, presenting a 96% drop in value. The financials For the quarter ended 31st of December 2025, sales came in at around $964k, which is down 23% y/y. For the nine months ended December 31st, net sales came in close to $3m, up a respectable 41% y/y. New orders for the Omni One and Omni One Core systems increased by 60% due to a strong holiday season. Revenues from the most recent quarter were from newly acquired customers and not from the pre-order period of August 2023 fulfillments, as was the case a year ago. Also, it was noted that the increase in sales of 41% was due to the sales of the Omni One home system. So, it seems some people are willing to fork out close to three grand for such an experience after all. Going over the company’s profitability, gross margins came in at 29% for the nine months vs. a negative gross margin last year at around -17%. That is an amazing improvement, and it seems that the company can scale and take advantage of leverage as it shifts away from lower-margin legacy offe...

Monty Rakusen/DigitalVision via Getty Images I last wrote about the VanEck Agribusiness ETF ( MOO ) on Seeking Alpha on March 18, 2026 , when I concluded with the following: The growing global population, concerns over fertilizer supplies, elevated inflationary pressures, and weather uncertainty favor higher agricultural commodity prices. Rising agricultural commodity prices mean increased agribusiness spending, favoring the components of the diversified MOO ETF. I reiterate my Buy recommendation on MOO in March 2026 at below $85 per share, expecting the ETF to move progressively to new record highs over the coming months and years. MOO was trading at just over $84 per share on March 18, 2026, and the ETF pulled back below $80 in early June 2026. This could be an opportunity to add to the ETF that holds companies that support feeding and fueling the world. MOO Is A Diversified Agribusiness ETF The fund profile for the VanEck Agribusiness ETF states: Fund Profile for the MOO ETF (Seeking Alpha) As the fund profile describes, MOO invests in a broad range of companies throughout the agricultural sector. MOO has been trading since August 31, 2007. At $79.53 per share, MOO had $946.28 million in assets under management. MOO trades an average of over 400,000 shares per day and charges a 0.55% management fee. The $1.80 annual dividend translates to a 2.26% yield. A Slight Decline Since March 18, But The Bullish Trend Remains Intact While the MOO ETF has declined 5.25% from the level on March 18, the agribusiness ETF remains in a long-term bullish trend. Twenty-Year Monthly Chart of the MOO ETF (Barchart) The monthly 20-year chart shows that MOO has made higher lows since 2008. After reaching a record high of $109.19 in April 2022. MOO corrected by 45.4% to a low of $59.58 in April 2025 when the U.S. Trump administration rolled out its “ Liberation Day ” tariff policy. While MOO has rallied since April 2025, it was below the midpoint of the decline from the 2022 high to the...

In this article STRC WNTR MSTR Follow your favorite stocks CREATE FREE ACCOUNT watch now VIDEO 1:41 01:41 Options flow shift bearish on crypto related stocks Options Action Options traders are storming into bets against crypto's most vocal evangelist Michael Saylor. Call it mutiny on Strategy. Flows around Saylor's Strategy (MSTR) and the company's variable-rate preferred stock STRC are turning bearish this week after traders had been more balanced in the preceding month despite a steady decline in bitcoin that began in mid-May. More than twice as many puts traded versus calls in Strategy Friday and more than three times as many puts were bought than calls, on almost three times the daily average volume the past month. Of the $335 million in premium traded as of writing, $250 was tied to puts. Some of the biggest put-buying was tied to spread strategies used in the YieldMax Short MSTR Option Strategy ETF (WNTR) , a fund that shorts Strategy stock while collecting income in put spreads, according to sources familiar with the trading. WNTR shares are up 30% since May 11 as Strategy stock has struggled. Stock Chart Icon Stock chart icon Strategy, YTD STRC, the bond-like preferred stock Saylor describes as "digital credit" that he's presented as an alternative to money market funds, fell 3.6% Thursday to $92, the lowest price since November last year. "There's a higher Michael Saylor risk factor being priced in right now after he touted STRC as a strategy to avoid selling bitcoin but then moved away from that, spending cash he said would be on the balance sheet to buy back bonds, and then selling bitcoin," said David Dziekanski, CEO at Quantify Funds, who runs a hybrid bitcoin-stocks strategy. "It's now going to take a significantly higher yield for STRC to get back to 100."

We Are/DigitalVision via Getty Images PORTFOLIO MANAGERS Gene Robin, CFA Lead Portfolio Manager 1 YEAR ON FUND / 2 YEARS AT WASATCH Thomas Bradley Lead Portfolio Manager 4 YEARS ON FUND / 11 YEARS AT WASATCH Overview U.S. micro cap stocks were volatile, as shifting investor sentiment drove sharp rotations within the market. Enthusiasm around artificial intelligence (AI) continued to support companies tied to the infrastructure buildout for these technologies. Each wave of new AI product releases also sparked periodic selloffs across industries perceived as vulnerable to disruption, including software. Geopolitical tensions later in the quarter, particularly surrounding conflict involving Iran, added to uncertainty and contributed to market swings amid fears of higher oil prices and their impact on the global economy. We share our views on both issues in the Outlook section of this commentary. Amid this environment, the benchmark Russell Microcap® Index ended the period up 1.49%. The Wasatch Micro Cap Value Fund—Investor Class ( WAMVX ) finished the period down -2.65%. Within the Fund, stock selection in the information-technology (IT), consumer-staples and financials sectors detracted the most from performance relative to the benchmark. Conversely, stock selection in the industrials sector and lack of exposure to the communications-services sector contributed the most to relative results.

Revolut Ltd. is looking to run a secondary share sale that would value the digital bank at $115 billion, on the heels of receiving a UK bank license and applying for a charter in the US, according to people with knowledge of the matter. Any such deal would allow early investors and employees to sell shares and generate liquidity, said the people, who asked not to be identified discussing private information. A formal process could kick off as soon as this month, though details have not been finalized and the company is still sounding out investors, the people said. A representative for Revolut declined to comment. Chairman Martin Gilbert is meeting with potential investors in a secondary deal to the Monaco Grand Prix this weekend, though has set no particular agenda, according to people with knowledge of the matter. Revolut has largely relied on secondary transactions in recent years to bring on new investors. Such deals have generally come with an increase in valuation for the company. If the firm hits a valuation of $115 billion, Chief Executive Officer Nik Storonsky would be granted additional shares of Revolut that would boost the value of his stake to at least $36 billion, according to internal company documents.

Investors including Coatue Management , Andreessen Horowitz and Nvidia Corp. ’s venture capital arm participated in the deal. Storonsky has said the bank would weigh launching more secondary sales before any initial public offering.
