Vision Marine (NASDAQ: VMAR) Proves It Is One To Watch After Master Supply Agreement And Initial Purchase Order from Groupe Beneteau, a Global Market Leader in the Boating Industry

Benzinga

As 2022 winds down, investors are already looking to 2023 and the potential opportunities that await. One area that is set up for a big 2023 is the electric vehicles market. According to Reuters and other news outlets, 2023 is shaping up to see a big kickstart in mass production efforts for the EV market. However, the growth in EVs will not be limited to just cars, vans, and trucks. Electric boats continue to see heightened demand, as consumers look for alternatives to traditional combustible-engine-powered boats. A big portion of this demand is from potential big savings from less maintenance, no gas costs, and more eco-friendly compared to traditional boats. According to ResearchandMarkets, the global electric boating market is estimated to grow from $5 billion in 2021 to an estimated $16.6 billion by 2031. This represents a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 12.9% between 2022 to 2031. Vision Marine Technologies, Inc. (NASDAQ: VMAR) is an electric boating company that has already proven itself as a potential leader in the emerging industry after its recent collaboration with boating industry giant, Groupe Beneteau. VMAR and Beneteau Enter Into a Master Supply Agreement On December 13, 2022, Vision Marine and Groupe Beneteau announced they had entered into a formal Master Supplier Agreement. Under the terms of the supplier agreement, Vision Marine will supply Groupe Beneteau with its E-Motion 180E electric outboard motor, which is one of the world’s first purpose-built, fully electric outboard motor and powertrain systems, which will be equipped on Beneteau’s upcoming Four Winns H2e electric boat model. The Four Winns H2e boat is the first electric runabout available to consumers, which will be jointly marketed by both companies to Beneteau’s vast dealer network. Across five continents, Beneteau maintains a network of 400 dealers, including 72 dealers throughout the United States. Vision Marine’s E-Motion 180E outboard motor has undergone extensive testing and validation over recent months. Given the outboard motor’s design and durability, Beneteau saw the product as a perfect complement to its Four Winns H2e boat model. Keep in mind that Vision Marine’s E-Motion 180E outboard motor was also clocked as the fastest electric motor by reaching a top speed of 109 MPH at the 34 th annual Iconic Lake of the Ozarks shootout in August 2022. See the Four Winns H2e In Action At the Vision Marine Technologies Testing Facility in North Miami, Florida: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bZ8VVnagS0Y "We are proud to enter into this strategic global supplier alliance with Groupe Beneteau. This represents an exciting milestone and inflection point for Vision Marine and its shareholders. We look forward to sharing our mutual mandates, and to assist Beneteau to expand its global carbon neutral goals via the electric transition of global waterways." stated Alex Mongeon, co-founder, and CEO of Vision Marine. “We expect our order book to show continuous growth as we approach the formal introduction of the H2e, as well as other offerings by Beneteau.” Vision Marine Receives First Purchase Order from Beneteau for 25 E-Motion 180E Motor Systems Following the announcement of the master supplier agreement, Vision Marine disclosed that Groupe Beneteau has also placed its initial purchase order for 25 E-Motion 180E outboard motor and powertrain systems. In addition, Beneteau says it will provide Vision Marine with a quarterly rolling forecast, which will include additional purchase orders for more outboard motor systems. The purchase order marks a big milestone for both companies. For Vision Marine, the purchase order from a major firm like Beneteau is a clear “proof of concept” for its E-Motion 180E system. Through all the testing and validation, VMAR has developed a quality product that is worthy of use in a trusted brand like Four Winns and Beneteau. Furthermore, the purchase order further solidifies the companies' partnership, as Beneteau aims to adapt its boating models to electrification by 2030. There is currently nothing else available on a commercial scale to OEMs or consumers, giving Vision Marine the key leadership role with its E-Motion system. "This initial order sets an important commercial milestone and reflects not only the value but also the trust Beneteau places in our innovative technology, as we expand fully electric propulsion systems globally across Beneteau’s formidable portfolio of brands,” stated Alex Mongeon, co-founder & CEO of Vision Marine. While the two companies did not disclose a specific price associated with the purchase order, there are clues out there that we can use to help determine the value. For instance, Vision Marine received a purchase order from The Limestone Boat Company (TSXV: BOAT) back in September 2022 for 25 E-Motion 180E powertrains. While unconfirmed, investors can estimate that Beneteau’s purchase order, which is also for 25 E-Motion 180E powertrain systems, is likely around the $2 million mark as well. Given Beneteau says it plans to provide additional purchase orders on a rolling basis, this represents a big opportunity for Vision Marine to grow revenues and further expand its operational milestones. Overall, 2022 has been a breakthrough year for Vision Marine. Throughout the year, Vision Marine has expanded its partnerships with Octillion Power Systems, Nextfour Solutions, Ltd., Groupe Beneteau, and more, to develop its proprietary powertrain system. This year also saw rigorous testing and validation of the powertrain system, which blew past expectations and is still the most powerful electric outboard motor available today. 2023 is shaping up to be a big year for Vision Marine. After laying a strong foundation in 2022, the company can now focus on expanding focus on sales, further developing its product line of electric boat models, and its revenue-generating boat rental business, which just recently expanded to Portside Ventura Harbor, California. Investors should take some time to take a deeper look into the over-looked electric boating market and the massive opportunity it presents through the next several years.

HeartBeam (NASDAQ: BEAT) Looks to Disrupt to Multi-Billion-Dollar Patch Market with its Patent-Protected 12-Lead ECG Patch Product

Benzinga

Monitoring a patient’s heart condition is an extensive undertaking considering the current standard of care practices. Up until a few years ago, heart patients seeking to have their condition monitored outside of a clinical environment were tasked with wearing a monitoring device called a Holter monitor. Holter monitors and records electrocardiographic signals from an individual as they go through their regular daily activities. Think of having an old "Walkman" with wires sticking out and strapped to you as you go through your daily life. Furthermore, the Holter monitor was developed in 1957 by Dr. Norman Holter. Given the incredible technology available today versus 1957, it is hard to believe the mobile ECG has not seen any major hardware updates in decades. HeartBeam (NASDAQ: BEAT) is one company that is working on a 21 st -century upgrade to the outdated wearable ECG market, using a convenient patch to help patients monitor their heart condition using a 12-lead ECG. What is the Importance of a 12-Lead ECG and Why Existing Patch Options Fall Short Wearable medical technologies continue to permeate into mainstream consumer electronics, as individuals look for ways to help monitor their health and wellness. Among the most popular wearables available right now is the Apple (NASDAQ: AAPL) Watch. Consumers have been told they can monitor several different health and wellness metrics, including being able to take an ECG on the go. Unfortunately, what is not immediately known to those consumers is the fact the Apple Watch only uses a single-lead ECG. In the context of obtaining useful medical information, a single-lead ECG does not tell the patient or medical professionals very much at all. Single-lead ECGs only record one dimension of the heart's activity and do not provide the needed medical data to determine if an individual is having a heart attack or cardiac episode. The 12-lead ECG, on the other hand, provides a complete, standard of medical care, information for a patient’s heart. Rather than just monitoring rhythm, the 12-lead ECG provides diagnostic information needed for the detection of all heart diseases. For example, single-lead ECGs cannot detect ischemia, a condition that restricts blood flow to the heart and eventually results in a heart attack. Currently, there are a few patch products available on the market for heart patients. However, these products are largely single-lead and are only focused on diagnosing arrhythmias. These existing patch products are not capable of diagnosing any condition related to Coronary Artery Disease (CAD), which occurs when plaque builds along the heart's walls and can cause a life-threatening heart attack. Zio Patch by iRhythm Technologies (NASDAQ: IRTC) is considered to be the current market-leading patch option available today. However, the product again only has single-lead capabilities. Overall, the wearable ECG device market is estimated to be valued at a total addressable market of $2 billion in the United States alone, according to iRhythm. According to ResearchAndMarkets.com, the global ECG patch and Holter monitor market are estimated to reach $4.8 billion by 2030. This represents a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 19.16% between 2022 and 2030. With a CAGR of just under 20%, the patch and wearable ECG market is forecast to grow substantially faster than most other industries. HeartBeam’s disruptive technology could help them obtain a huge advantage over the existing products available today. HeartBeam’s Patch and AIMIGo ECG Technologies Through HeartBeam’s credit-card-sized AIMIGo 12-lead ECG device, patients at a high risk of heart attack can carry this ECG device in their purses or wallets without any major inconveniences to ensure anytime, anyplace monitoring. The company’s patch product is designed to be used by patients who are experiencing cardiac symptoms but do not have an existing underlying diagnosis. Despite HeartBeam’s high patient convenience factors the 12-lead data that is obtained is not reduced in value in any way. This ensures that patients and medical professionals are obtaining accurate health data to ensure a proper diagnosis and treatment plan. Furthermore, combining the convenience of a credit card-sized device with a more powerful 12-lead ECG, means that medical professionals would not likely prescribe a single-lead option when a better option is available. Not only that HeartBeam solutions offer critical remotely collected highly relevant medical data for use in a treatment plan, but these devices have potentially more favorable economics to that medical practice as well. HeartBeam’s disruptive ECG products are protected by U.S. patents. In fact, the company’s patent portfolio accounts for six granted patents that serve as vital protection for its technology against competitors. These patents continue to help HeartBeam position itself as a major player in the high-growth industry of cardiac telehealth. Specifically for the 12-lead patch product, HeartBeam was granted a U.S. patent in September 2022. The patent (No. 11,419,538 B2) expanded on the company's previously granted patent (No. 11,071,490 B1) for a 12-lead ECG patch monitoring technology. These two issued patch patents serve as a major foundation for the company's intellectual footprint as the company looks to expand its technology to make cardiac patients and their medical professionals' treatment options more effective. Overall, HeartBeam’s planned 12-lead ECG patch product is reportedly the first-of-its-kind and only such technology in existence. The U.S. patents granted for this disruptive technology help to ensure HeartBeam is protected from competitors and can potentially commercialize the products once approved by the FDA. HeartBeam looks to be at the forefront of the mobile, wearable ECG market, which gives freedom to patients while also ensuring regular monitoring of their conditions. For investors, patients, and medical professionals, HeartBeam’s technologies look to be a major game-changer.

Spotlight Growth Shares 2 Small-Cap Stocks that could be Resilient in 2023

Benzinga

As investors look forward in preparation for 2023, small-cap stocks should be a key area of research. Overall, the majority of Wall Street estimates large-cap stocks in the S&P 500 (NYSE: SPY) to drop or remain largely unchanged over the next twelve months. Market watchers are anxiously watching the Federal Reserve’s every move, as they continue to raise interest rates and increase the risk of a global recession. As of December 2022, major global investment banks maintain a price target range between 3,675 and 4,500. As of this writing, the S&P 500 is trading at 3,895. The potential hit to large-cap earnings continues to be debated by investors, but small-caps remain an area of the market that actually has growing bullish sentiment. According to Bank of America (NYSE: BAC), Chief Investment Strategist Michael Hartnett said "Secular trends of stagflation, reshoring, localization, fiscal stimulus = small cap bull in 2023." In a recent blog post by Alliance Bernstein (NYSE: AB), James MacGregor, CFA (CIO of US Small & Mid Cap Value Equities), Bruce Aronow, CFA (CIO of Small & Mid Cap Growth Equities) and Samantha Lau (Co-CIO of Small & Mid Cap Growth Equities) penned an interesting article that supports the idea that small-cap stocks are further along in the recovery. “Small-cap stocks are also trading at extremely depressed valuations—the lowest in 20 years—compared to larger companies, based on price-to-earnings ratios. Current geopolitical tensions and macroeconomic uncertainties have disproportionately and indiscriminately impacted small companies. Investors have discounted further potential hazards for small-caps, without regard to company fundamentals. So, we think firms that offer resilient business models will stand out and benefit the most along the road to recovery,” according to the Alliance Bernstein article from December 2022. Looking ahead to 2023 with small-cap bullish sentiment building, here are two stocks that we believe have resilient business models and could weather any further economic & market volatility next year: Small-Cap #1: Asure Software (NASDAQ: ASUR) Asure Software is an Austin, Texas-based human capital management (HCM) cloud solutions provider in the United States. While the company is a small-cap with a current market cap of just under $180 million, Asure has been in business since 1985 and has continued to focus on developing tech innovations to help small-to-medium-sized businesses (SMBs) with streamlining their back office operations, such as human resources, taxes, payroll, employee benefits, and more. Shares of Asure have vastly outperformed the overall market with a positive year-to-date (YTD) gain of over 8.5%, as of mid-December 2022. This outperformance is a byproduct of the company’s strong resilience experienced throughout an economically-volatile year in 2022. Asure’s resilience was confirmed once SMBs began cutting costs across the board to prepare for a potential recession and continued economic uncertainty. However, these SMBs also realized that certain costs, like Asure’s suite of cloud HR technologies, actually help to save more money at the end of the day. Streamlining operations and helping to automate certain back-office tasks are essential for SMBs in all economic conditions, especially during uncertainty. In short, Asure’s payroll, FlexTax platform, vast 401(K) integrations, and other services actually help companies cut costs. Analysts covering Asure continue to maintain a bullish outlook on the small-cap tech company. Currently, the company has six analysts covering the stock with an average target price of $11.00 and a “buy” rating. Asure management is also forecasting a bullish 2023 after raising guidance during its Q3 2022 earnings release. For the fourth quarter of 2022, management estimates revenues to come between $23.5 million and $24 million. Adjusted EBITDA for the period is estimated to be between $3 million to $3.5 million. For the full-year 2023, Asure management sees total revenue between $98 million and $102 million, with an adjusted EBITDA margin range of 14% to 16%. Beating estimates is nothing new for Asure. Over its past nine quarterly financial results dating back to the third quarter of 2020, Asure has either met or exceeded revenue and EBITDA guidance. The only time Asure slightly missed estimates was back during Q1 2021, when EBITDA came in just under consensus. However, from Q2 2021 to current, Asure’s earnings outperformance has picked up steam. This perfectly aligns with the tightening of the overall macro-economic environment, which has been bullish for Asure, as SMBs look to cut costs and streamline operations. Despite its earnings prowess, Asure continues to fly under-the-radar. However, it appears only a matter of time before the Street begins to take notice of Asure on a grander scale. 2023 could be the year that Asure finally emerges as a key small-cap player, as the economic environments looks to continue favorable conditions for the company.

One of the largest space ETFs, the ARK Space Exploration & Innovation ETF (NYSE: ARKX) holds total assets of $265.19 million and has declined nearly 32% YTD, as of this writing. Individually speaking, Terran Orbital Corporation has had a 2022 to forget with a return of -86% YTD, through mid-December 2022. However, Terran Orbital is not like other SPAC space hype stocks out there and while the company is still working on profitability, its operational achievements set the company apart from its competition. Since its establishment in 2013, Terran Orbital has supported over 80 missions, which have resulted in the launch of more than 200 satellite services for NASA and the U.S. Department of Defense. Furthermore, Terran Orbital has continued to see strong revenue growth and even secured a $100 million investment from major aerospace & defense company Lockheed Martin Corp. (NYSE: LMT). The company also entered into a strategic cooperative agreement with Lockheed that extends collaboration into 2035. During the third quarter of 2022, Terran Orbital reported record revenue of $27.8 million, which represents year-over-year growth of 171% compared to the same period last year. The company's backlog exploded by 168% to $198 million since the end of 2021. The space company did report a net loss of $27.4 million, but that was an improvement compared to Q2 2022’s net loss result of $32.3 million. Currently, Terran Orbital has six analysts covering the stock. All six maintain a “buy” rating on the space company, with an average target of just over $11.00. This represents a potential upside of over 680% from its current price of $1.41.

Helmet Catch Hero David Tyree on Tom Brady: His Ability is “Insane”

Betting.US

David Tyree, the former wideout for the New York Giants, has spoken about his former rival Tom Brady in the lead-up to the 15-year anniversary of their iconic showdown. The Super Bowl XLII game would see the New England Patriots' undefeated and untied run come to an end, largely in part to Tyree’s staggering Helmet Catch play. Before the catch, Tyree mostly played in specials games. He had only four receptions for 35 yards and had no touchdowns. He produced a stellar performance in Super Bowl XLII, catching a touchdown in the late stages of the game before catching Eli Manning’s 32-yard throw against his helmet with less than two minutes remaining. The catch was instrumental in securing the Giants a match-winning touchdown. This would become Tyrell’s last catch in the NFL, and he retired after the 2009 season. In contrast, Tom Brady’s career has continued into the 2022 season. In a recent interview, Tyree expressed admiration for Brady’s talent. “It’s really insane when you think about it,” Tyree said. The former wideout mused about Brady’s almost inhuman talent, saying, “whether he has a mutant or a wolverine gene or something behind the TB12 products, I don’t know what’s going on. That dude’s insane, but he is that much of a high-level competitor.” Tyree also reflected on the importance of the week 17 showdown between the Giants and Patriots and its relation to the Super Bowl game. “It was an opportunity to knock down a titan in like the 12th round, right? And so, we went for it… I should have scored a touchdown in that game.” “I stumbled, and it tripped me up on the goal line.” He expressed his gratitude that he was “able to get that moment of redemption in the Super Bowl.” At the same time, Tyree acknowledged that their opposition, captained by Brady, were exceptionally good. On Brady, Tyree added, “I have a lot of respect for him as far as just breaking any kind of trends and ideas about what’s possible at the position.” And while Tyree did acknowledge the “drop of a season” that Brady is having this year, he pointed out that “he’s still playing at a high level.” To say that Tom Brady has had a difficult year would be an understatement. The star player’s private and professional life has been under much scrutiny since Brady announced that he would be retiring shortly after the Super Bowl in February. Then, within weeks, Brady reversed his decision and recommitted to another season. Brady later announced that he would be divorcing his wife of 13 years, Gisele Bündchen. Despite the intense scrutiny of his life, there were high hopes for the quarterback to lead the Tampa Bay Buccaneers to the next Super Bowl. To the frustration of many fans and pundits, Brady has failed to deliver. The Buccaneers lost four matches in a row, which was the first time this happened for Brady since 2002. He also became the most sacked player in NFL history and the 45-year-old has been showing more evidence that the sport has taken a toll on his physical ability.

News Release

Streaming Habits and Trends in the UK 2022/2023

Intelligiants

How many services and how much are consumers willing to pay? Streaming trends on social media and interaction What users expect to see more of in the future 1500 UK citizens between the ages of 18 to 54 took part in a survey conducted by PartyCasino on 8 December 2022. The competition for national on-demand TV providers and Netflix has surged in the last 24 months and there are constantly new alternatives and options surfacing on the market. What effect will the abundance have, and how many monthly subscriptions will the UK audience pay for? The results show that 66% of the participants were signed up for 2-3 services (2 services - 38.13%, 3 services - 27.93%), while 9% have 4 subscriptions and only 5% a total of 5 different services. The majority (65%) responded that they have not cancelled any subscriptions in the last 12 months, while 24% have cancelled 1 service and 7% have cancelled 2 subscriptions. Will these numbers change in the next year with customers jumping from various networks and providers, due to what shows and movies are being offered? 74% also responded that the price is a major factor when signing up for a new service. This means that the big draw of what shows are offered might not be the only factor and we could potentially see a price war between the different service providers in the years to come. The survey also reveals how much the participants currently spend on various subscriptions, with some paying up to £200 per month. A few of the questions also targeted some of the biggest TV series that was aired during the year, where a total of 38% answered that they watched the entire season of Stranger Things, released in May 2022. Can you guess what the second most popular show was? See the result for TV series here. For the online based entertainment industry, it is also important to understand what trends can be expected and the survey gives insights into what other streaming habits are trending now, such as live streams on social media, and live gaming events on Twitch and YouTube. The results also indicate that audiences are open to in-app promotions and offers and that recommendations and interaction from other users could be out of interest.

Queen Studios: Hyper-Real Statues and Figures Leave Event-Goers In Awe!

Queen Studios

HONG KONG SAR - Media OutReach - 20 December 2022 - Recently an award-winning statue and toy company held intimate events for some of the US’ and Asia’s largest pop-culture collectors. The limited edition hyper-real collectibles displayed left attendees in awe before going viral online. Queen Studios, the makers of these collectibles, since announced that more of these collectibles will be available for pre-order in the US, with plans on making them more accessible for US collectors. In Fall 2022, Queen Studios brought a collection of their hyper-real collectibles capturing the likeness of characters and actors from Marvel and DC blockbuster movies. Queen Studios, also known as QS, has a well-earned reputation for recreating iconic cinematic moments in a variety of scales and styles. Of the statues on display, the Spider-Man (Tom Holland) life-size bust, and the Doctor Strange (Benedict Cumberbatch) life-size bust particularly caught the eyes of fans. These busts are both made of platinum silicone, creating a skin-like look and feel which is soft to the touch. The clothes on the Strange bust are expertly tailored, and both feature hand punched hair and glass eyes that bring them both to life with a scary realism. Fans of Warner Bros. and DC, fans also lined up for the opportunity to see these ground-breaking collectibles in person, stealing the opportunity to share the images and videos online with fans and collectors around the world. From QS’ statue brand, the Arthur Fleck 1/3 statue from Todd Phillips Academy Award winning movie Joker stole the show. The statue depicts Joker (Joaquin Phoenix) as he dances gracefully along the white and green tiled bathroom floor just like the movie. To create this statue, the team worked tirelessly hand painting each piece to create a flawless skin texture, before layering fine sheep’s wool on the head sculpt to create a realistic look. INART, the company’s 1/6 scale action figure brand also debuted at the event. These sixth scale figures will probably bring back fond memories of the superhero toys from your childhood, and that’s part of the appeal. Made from the finest materials, these collectible figures are near perfect recreations of movie characters, such as the Heath Ledger Joker, Robert Pattinson’s The Batman and Gandalf (Sir Ian McKellen) from Peter Jackson’s The Lord Of The Rings. While these types of figures have grown in popularity in recent years, the INART brand has taken the character likeness to another level. INART incorporate magnetic bases with movie elements to allow collectors to pose and display their figures just how the character looks in the movie. As the event came to a close, collectors both in attendance and online had one burning question, “how can I order these collectibles?”. For US Collectors, some of Queen Studios’ Marvel collectibles can be ordered from Sideshow, the go to place for collectibles in the US. International collectors, and US collectors can also visit Queen Studios’ official store and order directly from the company or click to be redirected to a local retailer. In 2023, QS is expected to release a limited-edition Michael Jackson life-size bust and a Terminator T-800 bust with the likeness of Arnold Schwarzenegger. All these collectibles are limited and tend to sell out quickly. #queenstudios #doctorstrange #spiderman #tomholland #benedictcumberbatch #warnerbros #dc #arthurfleck #joker #joaquinphoenix #heathledger #marvel Queen Studios: https://queenstudios.shop/ About Queen Studios Queen Studios is the first company in the world licensed to make hyper-real silicone busts for Marvel, and the first company in China to do so for DC. In the 5 years since the company was established, the team have pushed the boundaries of what’s possible for these collectibles, blurring the lines between art and life.
