CleanCore Solutions Announces String Of Wins Over Past Few Months, Including Deals With Fortune 50 Companies, Universities And More

Benzinga

By Anthony Termini, Benzinga According to Fortune Business Insights, the worldwide market for cleaning services was projected to reach almost $400 billion in 2023. In this context, Nebraska-based company, CleanCore Solutions, Inc. (AMEX: ZONE) has announced a string of wins over the past few months. CleanCore’s products can be used in a range of service industries, including hotels, hospitals, and airports. While there is no official government estimate for how many new hotels will be built in the United States by 2050, if the current market is any indication, the demand for hotels will continue to grow. Room demand is set to reach an all-time high in 2024 according to STR research. Additionally, it is predicted hotel occupancy will increase by 2.5% globally and hotel average daily rate (ADR) is projected to grow by 4.9% in the next 12 months. Similarly, while the federal government doesn’t offer an estimate of the number of new airports that will be built by 2050, the FAA does say that the number of people getting on planes by then will grow to more than 300 million. That represents a 111% increase over 2021. The National Center for Education Statistics, part of the U.S. Department of Education, in its most recent accounting said that the number of colleges and universities in America was 5,916. It also estimated that enrollments through 2030 would remain relatively equivalent to where they are today. According to Fortune Business Insights, the property management business in the United States is expected to grow at a compound annual rate of nearly 8% through 2028. Each of these estimates is likely to have an impact on the growth prospects of CleanCore Solutions, which has developed a patented technology that replaces traditional cleaning chemicals with a safe, low-cost solution it brands as Aqueous Ozone. Who Is CleanCore Solutions And What Is Aqueous Ozone? CleanCore is an Omaha, Nebraska-based manufacturer of equipment and supplies that create safe aqueous ozone from regular tap water. The result is an effective, all-natural and chemical-free cleaner. In comparison to Ecolab (NYSE: ECL), a company that provides chemical options, Cleancore seeks to change the norms of cleaning practices in a manner that is more safe and cost effective. Aqueous Ozone is a highly concentrated solution proven to be a powerful oxidizer, says CleanCore. It is an effective bacteria and germ killer. Because it is completely natural, it is also simpler, healthier and more sustainable than other chemical-based disinfectants. CleanCore Focuses On Key Industries CleanCore’s strategy to grow its business by focusing on those industries looking for clean, all-natural solutions to replace the harsh chemicals they currently use in everyday cleaning and specialty processes. The company provides solutions to hospitals and other healthcare facilities to keep their physical plant clean and to provide unique hygiene solutions in their food service and laundry operations. It does the same for colleges and universities around the world, as well as at airports and commercial buildings. Part of the allure of CleanCore is its products create safer environments for employees, while saving money for companies because of the inexpensive technology that Cleancore utilizes. Scoring New Wins Within Its Target Markets CleanCore announced in September that it had completed the successful installation of more than 200 cleaning systems at a leading university in the United States that has implemented initiatives to become a chemical-free campus, adding to the four other universities of varying sizes that have engaged CleanCore for similar initiatives. The installation followed an initial pilot program of the company's products. The contract also provides employee training and support. CleanCore’s chief executive officer, Clayton Adams, said that the company is dedicated to promoting sustainability and health and to bringing chemical-free cleaning solutions to schools across the globe. He said that “in addition to the health and environmental benefits, [the company’s] solutions reduce chemical costs, providing a highly attractive return on investment." The program includes CleanCore's Power Caddies; portable units that produce the company’s patented Aqueous Ozone solution and on-site Fill Stations; wall-mounted dispensers of the company’s proprietary cleaning solution. The new relationship tees up future opportunities for CleanCore to provide the university with its products that sanitize water used in laundry facilities and potable ice machines. Creating Revenue Generating Opportunities From Previous Pilot Programs At the end of July, CleanCore launched a separate revenue-generating pilot program with one of the world's leading logistics companies. The program was initiated at one of the client's million-plus square-foot facilities. This program also deploys Power Caddies as well as other cleaning solutions. The project is expected to jumpstart a rollout of CleanCore products throughout the client’s organization. According to Adams, "We are pleased to announce the successful commencement of this pilot program in collaboration with a Fortune 50 logistics company.” Adams also commented that the customer has an enormous international footprint. The hope is that it will become a significant opportunity to expand because the client has more than 500,000 employees around the world. “Given the early positive feedback, our track record of high customer satisfaction, and meaningful cost savings, we are highly confident this initial purchase order will translate into significant, long-term, enterprise-wide contracts,” said Adams. Just the month before, CleanCore announced that one of the largest airports in the southwestern United States – serving more than 48 million passengers in 2023 – will be installing Power Caddies after another successful pilot test. CleanCore says that it is continuing to see a number of different types of facilities (including hospitals, hotels, schools and commercial buildings) adopting new technologies and solutions to eliminate traditional chemical cleaners. It says it sees the cost savings its solutions provide as a catalyst for this. Adams added that “the value proposition in combination with a switch from dangerous chemicals makes the adoption of our technology easy for our customers."

Closure Of Lithium Mine In China Sees Uptick In Lithium Prices

Benzinga

By Kyle Anthony, Benzinga Generally, price movement in an asset class can be attributed to several factors, but for commodities, the underlying principles of supply and demand are often the primary reasons. Bloomberg recently reported that Chinese battery giant Contemporary Amperex Technology Co., commonly called CATL, has shut down its major lithium mine in Jiangxi province. Jiangxi is a substantial source of lithium carbonate, with estimates that it accounted for 5% to 6% of global supply. CATL is currently the world’s largest battery manufacturer, with a market share of 34%. The Ripple Effects Of The Mine Closure News of the mine’s closure had a catalyzing effect on the stock prices of lithium miners, as firms from Asia to the Americas saw an uptick in their equity prices. As S&P Global reported earlier this year, lithium prices have declined for a prolonged period due to the metal’s oversupply and that demand for EVs, particularly outside of China, slowed earlier this year. As noted in the Bloomberg report, CATL’s stoppage will likely spur an 8% cut in China’s monthly lithium carbonate output. However, much inventory of the metal remains, with recent reporting positing that a historically high level of 130 kilotons is in storage. Though CATL’s mine closure has created a potential opportunity for the metal’s price appreciation. Gaining Exposure To Lithium Miners With Sprott With lithium prices being at or close to their floor, a reduction in supply could potentially have a supportive impact on its price. For investors seeking pure-play exposure to the lithium industry, the Sprott Lithium Miners ETF (NASDAQ: LITP) is a turnkey solution that tracks the Nasdaq Sprott Lithium Miners™ Index, which is designed to track the performance of companies that derive at least 50% of their revenue and/or assets from mining, exploration, development or production of lithium. The index generally consists of 40 to 50 constituents. Lithium plays a pivotal part in battery construction. The movement of lithium ions back and forth between the anode and cathode of a battery generates the free electrons in the anode, producing the actual charge at the positive end of the battery. That charge flows into a vehicle’s motor or the electronics being powered. The lithium market is of interest to some companies that are looking to replace internal combustion engine vehicles with EVs in the years to come. As argued in Sprott’s summary report 5 Reasons to Invest in Lithium Miners, as electric vehicles and energy storage technologies potentially become mainstays in the global economy, the companies that reflect the value of battery materials may represent or become a source of wealth-building for investors.

Important Disclosures Before investing, you should consider each Fund’s investment objectives, risks, charges and expenses. Each Fund’s prospectus contains this and other information about the Fund and should be read carefully before investing. A prospectus can be obtained by calling 888.622.1813 or by clicking this link: Sprott Lithium Miners ETF Prospectus The Fund is not suitable for all investors. There are risks involved with investing in ETFs, including the loss of money. The Fund is non-diversified and can invest a greater portion of assets in securities of individual issuers than a diversified fund. As a result, changes in the market value of a single investment could cause greater fluctuations in share price than would occur in a diversified fund. Exchange Traded Funds (ETFs) are bought and sold through exchange trading at market price (not NAV) and are not individually redeemed from the Fund. Shares may trade at a premium or discount to their NAV in the secondary market. Brokerage commissions will reduce returns." Authorized participants" may trade directly with the Fund, typically in blocks of 10,000 shares. Funds that emphasize investments in small/mid-cap companies will generally experience greater price volatility. Diversification does not eliminate the risk of experiencing investment losses. ETFs are considered to have continuous liquidity because they allow for an individual to trade throughout the day. A higher portfolio turnover rate may indicate higher transaction costs and may result in higher taxes when Fund shares are held in a taxable account. These costs, which are not reflected in annual fund operating expenses, affect the Funds’ performance.

Kairos Pharma (NYSEAmerican: KAPA): Advancing New Strategies to Overcome Cancer Treatment Challenges

KAPA

The global oncology landscape is on the brink of transformation, with cancer cases expected to rise sharply, particularly in lower-income countries, where the number of new cases could soar to 32 million annually by 2050. This growing demand for cancer treatments has driven global spending on oncology medicines to $223 billion in 2023, with a projected increase to $409 billion by 2028. The launch of 25 novel oncology drugs in 2023, along with over 2,000 new clinical trials, highlights a dynamic period of innovation in the sector. Breakthrough therapies, including cell and gene therapies, antibody-drug conjugates, and radioligand treatments, show significant promise but remain unevenly accessible. As oncology treatments continue to evolve at a rapid pace, this environment presents a unique window of opportunity for investors to explore emerging biopharma companies, which are positioned to lead the charge in addressing unmet medical needs in cancer care. Kairos Pharma, Ltd. (NYSE American: KAPA), a clinical-stage biopharmaceutical company based in Los Angeles, is steadily building a presence in the oncology space. Focusing on therapies aimed at overcoming cancer drug resistance and immune suppression, Kairos has developed a promising pipeline that could attract attention. Among its most notable candidates is ENV105, a therapy designed to target the mechanisms that allow tumors to evade treatment. With ongoing clinical trials and a recent IPO, Kairos Pharma (KAPA) shows potential as an emerging player in biotechnology, particularly as it continues to develop personalized cancer treatments. Exploring New Avenues in Cancer Treatment with ENV105 At the forefront of Kairos Pharma's mission is ENV105, a groundbreaking therapy aimed at reversing drug resistance in cancer patients. This drug distinguishes itself from traditional treatments by targeting the mechanisms that allow tumors to evade existing therapies. Mechanism of Action: ENV105 works by inhibiting the CD105 protein, which plays a critical role in the Bone Morphogenetic Protein (BMP) pathway. Unlike many cancer treatments that focus on blocking Tumor Necrosis Factor (TNF), ENV105 addresses the BMP pathway, which can contribute to increased tumor resistance. By disrupting this pathway, ENV105 enhances the effectiveness of existing cancer treatments. Biomarker Advantage: A significant aspect of ENV105 is its associated biomarker, which can predict patient responses before treatment begins. This capability allows for a more personalized approach, ensuring that patients who are most likely to benefit from the therapy are identified upfront, potentially increasing treatment success rates. Clinical Trial Successes The results from recent clinical trials are promising. In studies involving ENV105, 62% of patients experienced disease stabilization or regression after just two months of treatment—a remarkable outcome compared to the typical response rates seen in similar populations. Additionally, ENV105 has shown efficacy in enhancing the effects of existing therapies for both prostate and lung cancers, two of the most prevalent cancer types. Recent Developments and Partnerships Kairos Pharma is making significant strides in its clinical trials. The company recently dosed its first patients in a Phase 1 trial combining ENV105 with osimertinib for non-small cell lung cancer. This trial aims to evaluate the safety and tolerability of the combination, while a concurrent Phase 2 trial tests ENV105 alongside apalutamide for treating castrate-resistant prostate cancer. John Yu, CEO of Kairos Pharma, emphasizes the company’s commitment to addressing urgent medical needs: “The initiation of these trials speaks to the dedication of the Kairos team to develop therapies for today’s unmet medical needs.” Further enhancing its prospects, Kairos Pharma has partnered with PreCheck Health Services to develop companion biomarkers that will identify which patients are most likely to benefit from ENV105. This collaboration aims to incorporate advanced molecular diagnostics into clinical practice, allowing for better patient selection and monitoring. On September 16, 2024, Kairos Pharma made its debut on the NYSE American under the ticker symbol “KAPA,” successfully raising $6.2 million through its initial public offering. The proceeds will be vital for funding ongoing clinical trials and advancing its diverse pipeline, which includes ENV105 and other innovative candidates like KROS 101. Conclusion With its focus on reversing cancer drug resistance and improving immune response, KAPA is poised to make an impact in oncology. As Kairos Pharma continues to advance its trials and develop personalized cancer therapies, it stands on the brink of potentially revolutionizing cancer treatment. For those looking to invest in a company with a bright future in biotechnology, Kairos Pharma is one for the watchlist. Disclaimers: RazorPitch Inc.

Direxion Announces Reverse Split of DUST, TECS, WEBS and YANG

Direxion

Direxion, a leading provider of tradeable ETFs, has announced it will execute a reverse split of the issued and outstanding shares of the Direxion Daily Gold Miners Index Bear 2X Shares, Direxion Daily Technology Bear 3X Shares, Direxion Daily Dow Jones Internet Bear 3X Shares and Direxion Daily FTSE China Bear 3X Shares (the “Funds”). The total market value of the shares outstanding will not be affected as a result of this split, except with respect to the redemption of fractional shares, as outlined below. After the close of the markets on November 1, 2024 (the “Effective Date”), each Fund will effect a reverse split of its issued and outstanding shares as follows: Please note the CUSIP changes, effective November 4, 2024: As a result of these reverse splits, every ten or twenty shares, as applicable, of a Fund will be exchanged for one share as indicated in the table above. Accordingly, the total number of the issued and outstanding shares for a Fund will decrease by the approximate percentage indicated above. In addition, the per share net asset value (“NAV”) and next day’s opening market price will be approximately ten- or twenty-times higher, as applicable, for the Funds. Shares of the Funds will begin trading on the NYSE Arca, Inc. (the “NYSE Arca”) on a split-adjusted basis on November 4, 2024. The next day’s opening market value of the Funds’ issued and outstanding shares, and thus a shareholder’s investment value, will not be affected by the reverse split. The tables below illustrate the effect of a hypothetical one-for-ten or one-for-twenty reverse split anticipated for the Funds, as applicable: 1-for-10 Reverse Split 1-for-20 Reverse Split The Direxion Shares ETF Trust’s transfer agent will notify the Depository Trust Company (“DTC”) of the reverse split and instruct DTC to adjust each shareholder’s investment(s) accordingly. DTC is the registered owner of the Funds’ shares and maintains a record of each Fund’s record owners. Redemption of Fractional Shares and Tax Consequences of the Reverse Split As a result of the reverse splits, a shareholder of a Fund’s shares potentially could hold a fractional share. However, fractional shares cannot trade on the NYSE Arca. Thus, a Fund will redeem for cash a shareholder’s fractional shares at the Fund’s split-adjusted NAV as of the Record Date. Such redemption may have tax implications for those shareholders and a shareholder could recognize a gain or loss in connection with the redemption of the shareholder’s fractional shares. Otherwise, the reverse splits will not result in a taxable transaction for holders of Fund shares. No transaction fee will be imposed on shareholders for such redemption. “Odd Lot” Unit Also as a result of the reverse splits, a Fund may have outstanding one aggregation of less than 50,000 shares to make a creation unit, or an “odd lot unit.” Thus, a Fund will provide one authorized participant with a one-time opportunity to redeem the odd lot unit at the split-adjusted NAV or the NAV on such date the authorized participant seeks to redeem the odd lot unit. All Direxion leveraged and inverse ETFs are intended only for investors with an in-depth understanding of the risks associated with seeking leveraged investment results, and who plan to actively monitor and manage their positions. There is no guarantee these ETFs will meet their objective. Please visit the Direxion Leveraged and Inverse ETF Education Center, where you will find educational brochures, videos, and a self-paced online course to help you understand if leveraged ETFs are right for you. About Direxion: Direxion equips investors who are driven by conviction with ETF solutions built for purpose and fine-tuned for precision.
