Brera Holdings PLC (NASDAQ: BREA) is an Ireland-based, international holding company focused on expanding its global portfolio of men’s and women’s sports clubs through a multi-club ownership approach. The company capitalizes on opportunities to earn tournament prizes, secure sponsorships, collect transfer fees, provide professional sports consulting services, and enhance the valuation of its clubs.

Brera Holdings builds on the legacy of Brera FC, an international football club (referred to as soccer in the U.S.), that it acquired in July 2022. Established in 2000 and based in Milan, Italy, Brera FC has distinguished itself by cultivating an alternative football legacy. In October 2024, the Internet Marketing Association awarded Brera FC with the Social Impact Through Soccer accolade at its IMPACT 5050 Conference, recognizing the club’s global perspective and positive contributions to society.

The company’s growth strategy focuses on unlocking value from undervalued sports clubs and talent, driving innovation, and generating socially impactful outcomes. Brera Holdings is actively expanding its Global Sports Group, acquiring professional football and other sports clubs in emerging markets such as Africa, Asia, and Europe.

By targeting top-division teams in less mainstream markets, Brera Holdings aims to strengthen its competitive position in regional tournaments, including those organized by the Union of European Football Associations (UEFA). These acquisitions are expected to enhance sponsorship revenues and create new growth opportunities.

Leveraging its expertise in capital raising and revenue generation, Brera Holdings also anticipates growing demand for its consulting services, providing advisory support to sports clubs, associations, investors, and others. Brera Holdings is headquartered in Dublin, Ireland, with additional offices in Milan, Italy.

Sporting Assets

Brera Holdings continues to grow its global sports portfolio with a series of strategic acquisitions and innovations, including the FENIX Trophy Tournament, a pan-European, non-professional football competition. Launched in September 2021 and organized by Brera FC, the tournament has been recognized by UEFA and described by BBC Sport as “the Champions League for amateurs.” In 2023, Brera FC hosted the tournament’s finals at Milan’s iconic San Siro Stadium.

In March 2023, Brera Holdings expanded into Africa by establishing Brera Tchumene FC in Mozambique. Starting in the country’s Second Division League, the team quickly earned promotion to Moçambola, Mozambique’s First Division League, by November 2023.

In April 2023, Brera Holdings further strengthened its European presence by acquiring a 90% stake in Fudbalski Klub Akademija Pandev, a first-division football team in North Macedonia. This acquisition provides access to two major UEFA competitions, solidifying the company’s position in European football.

Brera Holdings’ reach extends beyond football. In July 2023, it acquired majority ownership of UYBA Volley, an Italian Serie A1 women’s professional volleyball team, demonstrating its commitment to diversifying within top-tier sports.

In September 2023, Brera Holdings entered the Mongolian football market by acquiring Bayanzurkh Sporting Ilch FC, a Mongolian National Premier League team. For the 2024 season, the club was rebranded as Brera Ilch FC, further expanding Brera’s global footprint.

In January 2024, Brera Holdings initiated a proactive search for an Italian Serie B football club, aligning with its goal of bringing multi-club ownership opportunities to mass investors through its Nasdaq-listed shares.

In February 2024, the Brera Holdings Advisory Board was established with MLS founder and World Cup director Alan Rothenberg, luxury lifestyle executive Massimo Ferragamo, sports business leaders Paul Tosetti and Marshall Geller, and Italian football icon Giuseppe Rossi.

In June 2024, the North Macedonian women’s football club Tiverija Strumica officially became part of the Brera family with the establishment of a joint-stock company controlled by Brera Holdings called Women’s Football Club Tiverija Brera AD Strumica (“Brera Tiverija”). Brera Tiverija is now a wholly-owned subsidiary of Brera Strumica FC.

In September 2024 Brera announced that it signed an exclusive letter of intent to acquire an Italian Serie B club (the “LOI” and the “Club”). According to a CFA report published in June 2024, this expected strategic transaction, for an estimated purchase price of $21.6 million, would add first-year annual revenue of $10.8 million to Brera, and that revenue would likely increase by 25% each year for the next three years. The company’s capital valuation, projected the report, would also experience significant appreciation during this period.

In October 2024, Brera was recognized with the 2024 Social Impact Through Soccer Award at IMPACT 5050, an annual event honoring leaders and innovators who significantly impact their industries and communities. This is the second time Brera has won the award.

Market Opportunity

A report from IMARC Group, a global management consulting firm, reveals that the international football market generated approximately $3.3 billion in revenue in 2023, with projections to grow to $4.6 billion by 2032, reflecting a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 3.6%. Key drivers behind this growth include advancements in digitization, increasing sponsorship and partnership deals between brands and clubs, the rising interest in women’s professional soccer leagues, and the expansion of the e-sports and gaming sector.

Platinum Group Metals Ltd. (TSX: PTM) (NYSE American: PLG)

The QualityStocks Daily Newsletter would like to spotlight Platinum Group Metals Ltd. (TSX: PTM) (NYSE American: PLG).

On Friday, gold registered solid gains after Trump made new tariff announcements targeting Canada, and the president also broadened his tariff threats on other countries the U.S. trades with. Gold futures made gains of 0.7 percent to reach $3,349 early on Friday while spot gold saw gains of 0.4 percent to reach $3,336 an ounce. These gains came after President Trump announced on Thursday that America was levying a 35 percent tariff rate on all imports originating from Canada. Trump added that he intended to levy duties of between 15 percent and 20 percent on imports sourced from other countries that the U.S. trades with. Furthermore, U.S. jobs data was surprisingly favorable, indicating that people filing for unemployment benefits were far fewer than had been anticipated. This data reduced the pressure on the U.S. Fed to make interest rate cuts sooner since the economy appeared to be doing well. As a result, gold's appeal was somewhat dampened since the precious metal performs significantly better under low interest rate conditions. All in all, the current state of the market for gold is positive and these conditions favorably position entities like Platinum Group Metals Ltd. (NYSE American: PLG) (TSX: PTM) that have gold-rich properties to attract additional investment and grow their operations.

Platinum Group Metals (NYSE American: PLG) (TSX: PTM) focused on advancing its Waterberg Project in South Africa, reported a net loss of $3.4 million for the nine months ended May 31, 2025, down from $4.02 million year over year. The company aims to move the fully mechanized PGM mine to a development decision, backed by construction financing and offtake agreements. PTM also highlighted ongoing collaboration with Valterra and FIU via Lion Battery Technologies to explore battery applications using platinum and palladium. Recent financing activities included a $1 million private placement with HCI and $12.3 million raised through its 2025 at-the-market program. The company is evaluating concentrate processing options, including a proposed Saudi Arabian smelter and a matte furnace in South Africa. PTM's updated Waterberg DFS supports the project's large-scale, low-cost potential, while its 2024 ESG rating from Digbee came in at BBB.

Platinum Group Metals Ltd. (NYSE American: PLG) (TSX: PTM) is the operator of the Waterberg Project, a bulk underground platinum group metals (PGM) deposit discovered by Platinum Group in 2011 and located on the Northern Limb of the Bushveld Complex in South Africa. The Waterberg Project is planned as a fully mechanised platinum, palladium, rhodium and gold mine, including by-product copper and nickel production, and is projected to be one of the largest and lowest cost PGM mines globally.

The project is a joint venture between Platinum Group; integrated PGM producer Impala Platinum Holdings Ltd. (OTCQX: IMPUY); Japanese consortium HJ Platinum, which includes trading house Hanwa Co. and the government-backed Japan Organization for Metals and Energy Security (JOGMEC); and local empowerment partner Mnombo Wethu Consultants (Pty) Ltd. Platinum Group has an effective 50.22% interest in the Waterberg Project.

The company’s primary business objective is to advance the Waterberg Project to a development and construction decision. An update to the 2019 Definite Feasibility Study is expected in 2024.

PGMs are essential and precious metals that include platinum, palladium, rhodium, iridium, osmium and ruthenium. These metals are known for their purity, high melting points and unique catalytic properties. They are utilized in a number of industrial processes, technologies and commercial applications and play a critical role in autocatalysis and pollution control in the automotive sector. The bulk of global PGMs are mined in Southern Africa and Russia.

The unique properties of PGMs are being applied to various technologies as possible solutions for more efficient energy generation and storage, which may create new demand for PGMs. The company’s battery technology initiative through Lion Battery Technologies Inc., using platinum and palladium in lithium battery technologies, represents one such new opportunity in the high-profile lithium battery research and innovation field.

Platinum Group Metals Ltd. founded Lion Battery Technologies Inc. in partnership with Anglo American Platinum Ltd. (AMS: JNB) to support the use of palladium and platinum in lithium battery applications. Lion Battery has entered into an agreement with Florida International University to further advance a research program that uses platinum and palladium to unlock the potential of Lithium Sulfur (Li-S) battery chemistries.

Waterberg Project

Platinum Group’s sole material mineral property, the Waterberg Project, is presently in process with pre-construction permitting; engineering work, including road upgrade and traffic studies; finalization of power and water infrastructure design; and construction camp design.

The company’s principal product from the Waterberg Project is planned to be a PGM-bearing concentrate. The concentrate will contain economic amounts of six elements comprising platinum, palladium, rhodium, gold, copper and nickel. The company’s partner in the Waterberg Project, Impala Platinum Holdings, has acquired a right of first refusal to enter into an offtake agreement, on commercial arm’s-length terms, for the smelting and refining of mineral products from the Waterberg Project.

The Waterberg project has proven and estimated reserves of 19.5 million ounces of PGMs and gold. When fully operational, the mine is projected to produce more than 400,000 ounces of PGMs annually during the peak period of steady state production. The life of the mine is projected at 45 years.

South Africa’s PGM mining sector remains closely tied to economic developments in the global automotive industry, which in 2022 accounted for approximately 43% of the total global demand for platinum and 82% of the total global demand for palladium.

Market Opportunity

According to a report from Straits Research, a global market and business research firm, the worldwide platinum market had an estimated value of $7.72 billion in 2022 and is projected to reach $11.95 billion by 2031. That represents a CAGR of 5.13% over the forecast period.

Platinum, one of the rarest of precious metals, is about 30 times scarcer than gold. It is crucial to the automotive and electronics industries and is also used to make jewelry. Stricter emissions regulations around the world have led to an increased demand for platinum to be used in catalytic converters to reduce automotive emission, the report states.

A report from Allied Market Research estimated the global palladium market at $16.3 billion in 2021 and projects the market will reach $28.6 billion by 2031, growing at a CAGR of 5.8% over the period.

Palladium is also used in automotive catalytic converters for reducing emissions and in jewelry, dentistry, watchmaking, blood sugar test strips, aircraft spark plugs, surgical instruments, electrical contacts and musical instruments.

An increase in demand for consumer electronics has driven demand for palladium-based multilayer ceramic capacitors (MLCC) used to store energy in electronic devices such as broadcasting equipment, mobile telephones, computers, electronic lighting and high voltage circuits, according to the report.

ESGold Corp. (CSE: ESAU) (OTCQB: ESAUF)

The QualityStocks Daily Newsletter would like to spotlight ESGold Corp. (CSE: ESAU) (OTCQB: ESAUF).

ESGold (CSE: ESAU) (OTCQB: ESAUF) announced results from its Ambient Noise Tomography (ANT) survey at the Montauban Gold-Silver Project in Quebec, revealing a vertically extensive and structurally complex system extending to depths of 1,200 meters—far beyond historically mined zones. The data suggest Montauban may be a district-scale Volcanogenic Massive Sulphide (VMS) system, with multiple stacked mineralized lenses akin to globally significant deposits. The ANT survey, combined with historic drill results and VTEM data, is informing a new 3D geological model. With permits in place and tailings reprocessing underway, ESGold is pursuing both near-term production and long-term exploration upside, positioning Montauban as a potential multi-generational mining asset.

ESGold Corp. (CSE: ESAU) (OTCQB: ESAUF) is a fully permitted, pre-production resource company on a clear path to near-term gold and silver production. With established infrastructure in place and a significant gold-silver resource, the company is uniquely positioned to generate near-term cash flow while unlocking the full potential of its Montauban Gold-Silver Project in Quebec—one of the top mining jurisdictions in the world.

ESGold is building a foundation for long-term growth through a dual-track strategy: cash-flow generation from tailings reprocessing to fund district-scale exploration.

The Montauban site, which operated as a mine for over 80 years, is now undergoing its first-ever systematic exploration program to determine just how large the remaining deposit may be. Near-term cash flow from tailings reprocessing will be used to fund exploration, with the goal of increasing the resource base and uncovering new discoveries across the expansive land package.

ESGold is advancing a scalable and replicable clean extraction model that turns legacy mine sites into revenue generating assets while setting a new industry benchmark for sustainable resource recovery.

The recent completion of a C$3.4M financing has enabled ESGold to initiate the final construction phase of its mill circuit—moving the company decisively toward production of gold and silver in Q3 2025.

Montauban Gold-Silver Project: Production Imminent

Located approximately 80 kilometers west of Quebec City, the Montauban Project is a past-producing gold-silver mine with surface and underground mineralization and over 900,000 tonnes of historical tailings. ESGold has invested over C$15 million to date, building out roads, power access, and a 16,000 sq. ft. processing facility. The company recently completed a C$3.4M financing to begin final construction of the mill circuit.

The company is fully permitted to enter into production that is expected to commence in Q3 2025 with a capacity of 500 tonnes per day, scaling to 1,000 tpd. An updated Preliminary Economic Assessment (PEA) is currently underway to reflect all-time high gold prices and the anticipated upside from the near-surface resource.

Parallels Between Broken Hill & Montauban

Broken Hill, discovered in 1883 in Australia, became the world’s largest source of silver, lead, and zinc—producing over $100 billion worth of metals. What made it unique was that the richest mineral zones were hidden deep underground in a twisted, boomerang-like shape, and it took decades to fully understand just how large the deposit really was.

Geologists now believe ESGold’s Montauban Project in Quebec may share similar traits. Like Broken Hill, it contains high-grade silver, lead, and zinc, along with gold—and sits within the same type of geological system known to host large, high-value mineral deposits. The rock formations, mineral assemblages, and structural complexity all suggest that Montauban could be hiding much more than what’s been historically uncovered. Academic studies now support this possible geological parallel, pointing to further evidence suggesting Montauban was formed under similar conditions as Broken Hill.

Exploration Upside

With production on the horizon, ESGold is advancing a major exploration campaign. Montauban has never undergone systematic modern exploration.

The company is currently completing a large-scale Ambient Noise Tomography (ANT) survey—a powerful 3D imaging technology that will define the size, shape, and continuity of the mineralized system. ANT is already showing strong results, with imaging going beyond the original 400m depth target and now expected to exceed 800m. This cutting-edge technology has the potential to reveal the full extent of the anomaly for the first time in Montauban’s 110-year history.

Scalable, Replicable, Clean Mining

Montauban is also part of a broader vision. Across Canada and globally, there are hundreds of orphaned or legacy mine sites that remain unrehabilitated despite containing valuable residual metals in tailings. Quebec alone is home to more than 259 of these sites, highlighting the scale of the opportunity. ESGold is advancing a scalable and replicable clean extraction model that transforms legacy sites into productive assets while setting a new benchmark for sustainable resource recovery.

The company has also performed testing that utilizes Dundee Sustainable Technologies’ CLEVR Process™, a proprietary non-cyanide extraction method that achieved 90.9% gold recovery in lab testing. This clean processing approach remains a valuable and scalable asset supporting ESGold’s near-term production and exploration growth strategy.

As a complement to its core mining operations, ESGold is developing clean technology solutions through a joint venture with DMCMS Inc. This initiative includes a polymer division that manufactures environmentally friendly products such as road stabilizers, dust suppressants, and other industrial blends—expanding the company’s sustainable commercial footprint.

Market Opportunity

ESGold is operating in a unique and specialized segment of the mining industry—reprocessing and revitalizing legacy mine sites. The Montauban Project offers both near-term cash flow and long-term growth potential by converting tailings into revenue while systematically exploring for additional high-value mineral endowments. The company’s established infrastructure, full permitting, and reclamation approvals reduce development risk and enhance execution timelines.

The broader green mining market is projected to reach $15.92 billion by 2030, according to Grand View Research. This growth is being driven by increased demand for responsible extraction methods, ESG-aligned practices, and critical mineral security. With construction underway at its fully permitted Montauban site—and exploration advancing along a Broken Hill-type geological model—ESGold is well positioned to emerge as Canada’s next premier gold and silver producer.

Ucore Rare Metals Inc. (TSX.V: UCU) (OTCQX: UURAF) s a critical metals technology company developing scalable rare earth element (“REE”) refining infrastructure in North America. Originally founded in 2006 as a mineral exploration company, Ucore has since evolved into a processing technology innovator focused on commercializing its proprietary RapidSX™ platform under a $18.4 million contract from the U.S. Department of Defense, with additional support from Natural Resources Canada. The company’s flagship deployment is the Louisiana Strategic Metals Complex (“SMC”), with additional SMCs planned to follow.

Ucore’s mission is to help reestablish a domestic REE supply chain by offering competitive, modular processing solutions that reduce dependence on China. Supported by government funding, private capital, and engineering partnerships, Ucore aims to meet growing demand for rare earth oxides in electric vehicles, defense systems, and advanced energy technologies.

The company is headquartered in Halifax, Nova Scotia.

Projects & Technology

RapidSX™ Separation Technology

RapidSX™ is Ucore’s proprietary rare earth separation platform, delivering three times faster processing than traditional solvent extraction (SX) methods. Its current demonstration program in Kingston, Ontario, is being conducted under contract with the U.S. Department of Defense to prove commercial readiness for processing both heavy and light REEs. The project is also supported by Natural Resources Canada.

RapidSX™ employs a column-based design that eliminates the need for powered mixer-settlers, enabling a smaller facility footprint, quicker commissioning, and lower CAPEX and OPEX. The platform is adaptable to light and heavy REE feedstocks and is structured for modular scale-up.

The 52-stage RapidSX™ Commercial Demonstration Plant in Kingston, Ontario—operated in partnership with Kingston Process Metallurgy—has logged thousands of runtime hours and is currently processing rare earth feedstock further to the company’s U.S. Department of Defense contract. In January 2025, Ucore secured a $500,000 non-dilutive grant from Ontario’s Critical Minerals Innovation Fund to support the advancement of the Kingston facility and, in the words of Ontario Mines Minister George Pirie, “build a secure supply chain ready to fuel the technologies of tomorrow.”

Strategic Metals Complex – Louisiana

Ucore has selected an 80,800-square-foot brownfield site within the England Airpark in Alexandria, Louisiana, as the location for its first commercial rare earth refining facility. The Louisiana SMC is expected to scale from 2,000 tonnes per annum (TPA) of total rare earth oxides initially to 5,000 TPA, with potential to ultimately reach 7,500 TPA.

The facility benefits from Foreign Trade Zone (FTZ) status, reducing tariff burdens on imported inputs and enhancing logistics efficiency. In addition to these structural advantages, the state of Louisiana has outlined an incentive package valued at $15 million, including a $900,000 infrastructure grant and $360,000 in additional local support. The project is expected to create 100 family-wage jobs and has received strong support from federal and state officials.

To date, Ucore has secured $2.3 million in milestone payments under its $18.4 million OTA award from the U.S. Department of Defense. In early 2024, the company also secured C$2.16 million in private investment from Hondo Private Equity to support its commercialization efforts.

Bokan-Dotson Ridge REE Project – Alaska

Ucore maintains 100% ownership of the Bokan-Dotson Ridge heavy REE project in Southeast Alaska. A Preliminary Economic Assessment was completed in January 2013. The Alaska Industrial Development and Export Authority (AIDEA) has authorized $145 million in bond financing under SB99 (2014) to support future development.

While Bokan remains a long-term asset, Ucore continues to advance it at a measured pace, complementing its near-term focus on commercial rare earth refining and oxide production at the Louisiana SMC.

Market Opportunity

According to Grand View Research, the global rare earth elements market was estimated at $3.95 billion in 2024 and is projected to grow at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 8.6% from 2025 to 2030. The market outlook remains strong, fueled by the growing demand for permanent magnets and catalysts in the automotive sector.

In March 2025, President Trump invoked the Defense Production Act to prioritize domestic critical mineral production, signaling a national mandate to reduce reliance on “hostile foreign powers’ mineral production.” One month later, the Chinese government enacted immediate export restrictions on seven key rare earth elements, including dysprosium and terbium, further intensifying pressure on Western nations to develop secure and independent supply chains. This underscores the strategic value of Ucore’s domestic separation infrastructure.

Nightfood Holdings is pioneering AI-powered robotics through its SkyTech platform to solve key pain points in hotel operations

The company's dual strategy of acquiring hotel properties and offering Robotics-as-a-Service ("RaaS") enables rapid deployment of automation with real revenue impact

As labor shortages squeeze the hospitality sector, NGTF's intelligent automation offers a compelling edge for investors focused on AI, robotics, and scalable infrastructure solutions

AI-driven robotics is no longer the stuff of sci-fi dreams or pilot programs in distant R&D labs. It's rapidly becoming the backbone of day-to-day operations in sectors that were once considered too human-centric for automation. Nowhere is this more apparent than in hospitality, where persistent labor shortages, rising wage pressures, and demanding guest expectations are pushing operators to embrace robotics out of necessity rather than novelty. A 2024 report by CBRE showed the combined cost of wages and employee benefits in U.S. hotels rose 4.8% year-over-year, even as total hours worked dropped by 7.4%. That means hotels are paying more for less labor, while guests still expect top-tier, personalized service. The equation isn't sustainable, but the solution may lie in strategic AI adoption. Nightfood Holdings (OTCQB: NGTF) is stepping into that breach.

Nightfood Holdings Inc. (OTCQB: NGTF) is a hospitality technology and asset acquisition company revolutionizing hotel operations through AI-driven service robotics and strategic property acquisitions. By integrating advanced automation solutions with high-value hospitality assets, NGTF is setting a new standard for operational efficiency, cost reduction, and labor optimization in the hospitality industry.

With a focus on Robotics-as-a-Service (RaaS) and hotel ownership, NGTF is uniquely positioned at the intersection of technology and real estate, creating scalable, revenue-generating solutions that drive the widespread adoption of automation in the hospitality sector.

Operations

Nightfood Holdings is focused on two core business areas:

• Hotel Acquisitions & Operations – NGTF is acquiring a portfolio of independent hospitality properties, spanning various market segments from midscale to luxury. These hotels serve as real-world testbeds for automation technologies, allowing NGTF to refine its RaaS solutions before deploying them at scale.
• Robotics-as-a-Service (RaaS) for Hospitality – NGTF provides subscription-based, AI-driven robotic automation, designed to optimize hotel operations. By deploying standardized automation solutions, NGTF helps hotels reduce costs, improve labor efficiency, and enhance guest experiences.

Through this fully integrated model, NGTF ensures that its robotics solutions are tested, optimized, and proven profitable before expanding to third-party hotel operators.

Market Opportunity

The demand for automation in hospitality is accelerating, driven by labor shortages, rising costs, and increased competition. NGTF is positioned to capitalize on this shift through its combined hotel ownership and RaaS strategy.

• Total Addressable Market (TAM): The global service robotics market is projected to reach approximately $107.75 billion by 2030, driven by widespread adoption across industries including hospitality, according to Research and Markets.
• Serviceable Available Market (SAM): The global smart hospitality market, which includes AI and automation technologies for hotels, is projected to reach $186.10 billion by 2032, according to SNS Insider.
• Competitive Positioning: NGTF’s unique real estate + automation model allows it to implement cost-saving robotics solutions in real-world environments before expanding adoption across the industry.

Industry Impact: The Future of Smart Hotels

NGTF is at the forefront of next-generation hospitality automation, transforming how hotels operate. By combining AI-powered service robotics with real estate acquisitions, NGTF is pioneering the transition to smart, highly efficient hotel environments.

Hotels acquired by NGTF serve as testing grounds for robotics deployment, allowing the company to continuously refine its automation solutions. The biggest industry benefits include:

• Cost Savings for Hotel Operators – Reducing labor costs and improving operational efficiency.
• Scalability & Standardization – Offering a streamlined, subscription-based RaaS model for seamless automation adoption.
• Industry Leadership in Hotel Robotics – Driving the transformation of hospitality with AI-powered automation solutions.

Future Vision & Growth Strategy

Over the next three to five years, NGTF is committed to scaling both its hotel portfolio and RaaS adoption. By refining and optimizing its automation technologies in its own properties, NGTF will continue deploying RaaS to third-party hotel operators, positioning itself as a leader in next-generation hospitality automation.

Through strategic acquisitions and AI-driven solutions, NGTF is defining the future of smart hotels—delivering cost-efficient, scalable automation that reshapes the hospitality landscape.

Team Expertise as a Strategic Advantage

In addition to technology and real estate, NGTF’s most powerful asset is its team. The company’s leadership and operating partners bring deep expertise in both hospitality and food service, having collectively developed over 50 properties, managed more than 130 hotels, and supported more than 6,000 quick-service restaurants.

This wealth of experience enables NGTF to execute its automation and acquisition strategy with operational discipline, industry insight, and scale—further strengthening its position in next-generation hospitality.

Mullen Automotive Inc. (NASDAQ: MULN)

The QualityStocks Daily Newsletter would like to spotlight Mullen Automotive Inc. (MULN).

A joint research team comprising researchers from China and Singapore is leveraging artificial intelligence (AI) powered technology to dramatically improve the manufacturing processes for rechargeable batteries. As the world transitions to renewable energy and green infrastructure such as electric cars, batteries will become increasingly critical to maintaining electric grid reliability and advancing electric mobility. Consequently, scientists are taking advantage of emerging tools like AI to figure out how they can make battery manufacturing much more efficient. Researchers from Huaiyin Normal University in China and Nanyang Technological University in Singapore came up with a solution that involves using artificial intelligence-powered systems to improve rechargeable battery manufacturing processes. With Nanyang Technological University's Dr. Edison Huixiang Ang serving as team leader, the researchers used AI's advanced computing capabilities to address one of the largest issues facing zinc-ion battery manufacturers: dendrite growth on the zinc foil surface during charge and discharge. Zinc batteries have plenty of potential as an alternative to the ubiquitous lithium-ion (Li-ion) battery as they have a lower fire risk profile, are less damaging to the environment, and cost less than Li-ion batteries. According to Dr. Ang, leveraging artificial intelligence helped the team figure out the most effective material at low cost and within a very small timeframe. He noted that the discovery of MOF was an important step in the battery industry's quest to develop safer and more sustainable batteries. With new battery designs that use the material retaining 100% efficiency after 1,400 charging cycles, a feat that cannot be achieved by most regular batteries, the technology has the potential to revolutionize energy storage for consumer electronics, battery electric vehicles, and green energy. EV makers like Mullen Automotive Inc. (NASDAQ: MULN) could take an interest in this new battery chemistry if it goes beyond the lab and proves its viability in real-world conditions. 

Mullen Automotive Inc. (NASDAQ: MULN) is a Southern California-based automotive company building the next generation of commercial electric vehicles (“EVs”) with United States-based manufacturing located in Tunica, Mississippi.

In August 2023, Mullen began commercial vehicle production in Tunica. As of January 2024, both the Mullen ONE, a Class 1 EV cargo van, and Mullen THREE, a Class 3 EV cab chassis truck, are California Air Resource Board (“CARB”) and EPA certified and available for sale in the U.S. The Company’s commercial dealer network consists of Papé Kenworth, Pritchard EV, National Auto Fleet Group, Ziegler Truck Group, Range Truck Group, Eco Auto, and Randy Marion Auto Group, providing sales and service coverage in key West Coast, Midwest, Pacific Northwest, New England, and Mid-Atlantic markets.
