They drilled their wells, found helium, then sought production facilities and funding. Now, they are getting those facilities commissioned, then they will get cash flow, which will allow expansion. In recent years, the stock has seen fits and starts, has been low, but now are at a place of cash flow later this year into 2027.
Expectations were very high. They're selling major agreements with large franchises, but now are selling that product into restaurants, which will be a slower process. The market got ahead of itself in terms of revenue and cash flow. This will take a little longer than expected and the stock will drift. Will probably see a blow-out quarter when the market will be attracted to this again.
A 10-year overnight success. They're been building their business in Uzbekistan and Kazakstan. They sell natural gas, including the latter to generate a diesel alternative. Diesel is in short supply in that part of the world. They will make LNG onshore, not shipped. This is great. Also, they have amazing levels of lithium brine that could develop later.
Is a past pick. Has pulled back recently. They're building new commodity exchanges, including LNG futures contracts. A short report damaged the stock price, saying that much of their growing volume is really market making, which is untrue and illegal. The stock will probably consolidate then rise when they show growth again. Their technology side is overlooked; it allows futures contracts to be settled immediately.
One of the top 5 compounders, up 160% over 3 years. Aviation and manufacturing are key businesses for them. They have an aircraft parts business. They fly in and out of Northern routes. They buy companies, invest in them and grow them very well. They are big enough to compete with private equity. Have a fine track record.
