Microalgo, Palantir, 23Andme, AMD, And Tesla: Why These 5 Stocks Are On Investors' Radars Today

Not so fast. The mass sale of US federal buildings appears to have stalled for the time being. <a href="https://www.wsj.com/real-estate/commercial/u-s-government-hits-pause-on-massive-commercial-real-estate-sale-c2be3d4d?mod=real-estate_feat2_commercial_pos2">The Wall Street Journal </a>reported that 443 buildings, representing nearly 80 million square feet, listed for sale have been suddenly removed from the <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/25/03/44346457/mark-cuban-wants-to-out-elon-musk-by-hiring-us-digital-service-veterans">General Services Administration</a> website.&nbsp;
Hours after releasing its initial list on March 4, the GSA trimmed that number to 330. The following day, all listed properties were removed from the website. A<a href="https://www.gsa.gov/real-estate/real-estate-services/real-property-disposition/noncore-property-list"> statement</a> appeared in its place, saying the GSA was &#8220;identifying buildings and facilities that are not core to government operations, or non-core properties, for disposal. Selling ensures that taxpayer dollars are no longer spent on vacant or underutilized federal spaces. Disposing of these assets helps eliminate costly maintenance and allows us to reinvest in high-quality work environments that support agency missions.&#8221;

The proposed building sales coincided with the mass firings of federal workers, which Erik Molvar, executive director of Western Watersheds Project, called <a href="https://fox8.com/news/judge-orders-trump-to-rehire-probationary-workers-let-go-in-mass-firings/">"an assault on the rule of law."</a> Molvar was one of the plaintiffs in a case brought before federal judge William Alsup in San Francisco, who ordered President Donald Trump's administration to rehire thousands of fired workers.&nbsp;

Kennedy Department of Justice Building, the Old Post Office building, the location of Trump&#8217;s former hotel, and the American Red Cross headquarters. The headquarters of numerous agencies, including the Departments of Labor and Housing and Urban Development, were also on the list.
Buildings named after civil rights icons, such as Martin Luther King Jr. in Atlanta and Rosa Parks in Detroit, were also included. The Montgomery, Alabama, bus station that was pivotal in the Civil Rights Movement and now serves as the Freedom Rides Museum was also among the threatened buildings. News of the sale and retreat caused widespread criticism and confusion.

Agencies have statutory functions they have to carry out, and agencies also do have reporting obligations to Congress.&#8221;

Popular on-chain blockchain analytics firm CryptoQuant, however, cautioned about the leverage-driven Bitcoin pump.
With Open Interest hitting record levels amid BTC's surge to $87,500, the risk of liquidation cascades also increased, CryptoQuant stated.
"If the rally continues, the FOMO could fuel a parabolic move. But if bulls lose control, expect a sharp correction as over-leveraged positions get wiped out."

At a <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/25/03/44446405/elon-musk-says-hang-on-to-your-stock-in-surprise-late-evening-tesla-all-hands-meeting-touts-7-millio">late-night all-hands</a> Tesla Inc. meeting last Thursday, an employee asked CEO Elon Musk what many have likely wondered: Any &#8220;wisdom or secrets&#8221; that he may have to offer about the game of life.
In response, Musk's answer was characteristically candid: "I try to say everything that I know… I post it on X. I guess you should ask the AI to look through all my X posts and pick out the ones that are really good."
Musk's Life Philosophy, According To Grok
Taking his cue, we asked Grok 3 Beta—xAI's internet-enabled model—to search through Musk's X (formerly Twitter) posts for his best advice.

Using the DeepSearch feature, Grok 3 Beta scoured the internet, cross-checked sources, and compiled real-time insights before delivering its final response (although not all of them were satisfactory). Here are a few examples of what we found:
On managing fear and anxiety:
"Accept worst case outcome &amp; assign it a probability, which is usually very low. Now think of good things in life &amp; assign them probabilities – many are certain… Cheery fatalism is very effective." — 2021
<figure class="wp-block-embed is-type-rich is-provider-twitter wp-block-embed-twitter">

On climate and personal responsibility:

Love him or hate him, admire him, or remain indifferent—there's no denying that Musk has built and expanded an empire of groundbreaking companies. With a fortune surpassing $320 billion, Musk currently holds the title of the world's richest person.

Musk's Wisdom Beyond X
Musk has shared life and leadership tips in interviews and podcasts over the years. Among his most quoted insights:
<ul>
<li>"People work better when they know what the goal is and why."</li>
<li>"Failure is an option here. If things are not failing, you're not innovating enough."</li>
<li>"Managers should always take care of their team before they take care of themselves."</li>
</ul>
He also advocates for a constant feedback loop, encouraging people to reflect and improve continuously.
The Books That Shaped Musk
"I've got like a hundred tabs open in my brain," Musk said with a laugh at the Tesla meeting. To calm his mind, he listens to audiobooks at night: "It's like closing those tabs one by one."
He also said that it is good to always be curious, and to read widely—especially history. "I find biographies and autobiographies to be really interesting. They give you a lot of ideas."
Here are some books that were previously recommended by him:
<ul>
<li>"What We Owe the Future" by William MacAskill</li>
<li>"Zero to One" by Peter Thiel</li>
<li>"Benjamin Franklin" and "Einstein" by Walter Isaacson&nbsp;</li>
</ul>

Elon Musk Says If You Are Curious About The 'Wisdom Or Secrets' He Might Have About How To Play The Game Of Life, Try To Ask Grok — We Did Just That So You Don't Have To And Found These Gems

The Donald Trump administration&#8217;s national security team accidentally leaked highly sensitive war plans to a journalist, exposing a major security breach in their communication practices.
What Happened: On Monday, Jeffrey Goldberg, editor-in-chief of The Atlantic, <a href="https://www.theatlantic.com/politics/archive/2025/03/trump-administration-accidentally-texted-me-its-war-plans/682151/">revealed</a> that he was inadvertently added to a Signal group chat discussing imminent military strikes against Houthi targets in Yemen.&nbsp;
The group purportedly included Michael Waltz, the national security adviser, Pete Hegseth, the secretary of defense, and other high-ranking officials, including an account that appeared to represent Vice President JD Vance, who shared operational details about the upcoming attack.
Goldberg was added to the group by Hegseth.
The person in the chat identified as Vance appeared to balk at the idea of helping European allies. He wrote, &#8220;I just hate bailing Europe out again.&#8221;

Goldberg also received detailed information about weapons packages, targets, and the timing of the strikes two hours before they occurred, courtesy of the group chat.
Despite his initial skepticism about the chat&#8217;s authenticity, the journalist realized its legitimacy when the attacks unfolded as described in the messages.
Surprisingly, even after leaving the chat, Goldberg said that no one seemed to notice that an unauthorized person was included in the chat.
When he sent emails to these officials to verify the authenticity of the chat and ask if Signal was used to share "sensitive information" regularly, National Security Council spokesman Brian Hughes responded, confirming that the Signal group was real.
Meanwhile, William Martin, a spokesperson for Vice President Vance, sought to dispel any notion of discord, asserting that the vice president remains fully aligned with the president.
This came after Goldberg noted that in the Signal chat, Vance expressed reservations about the timing and potential economic impact of the strikes.
Why It Matters: The use of a commercial messaging app for sensitive military discussions potentially violates several provisions of the Espionage Act and federal records laws, Goldberg noted.
National security experts and lawyers consulted for the story said that such communications should occur only through approved government channels, not on personal devices or commercial apps like Signal.
Following the publication of the report, Former National Security Adviser John Bolton criticized Trump officials saying, "If you think Signal is equivalent to U.S. government secure telecommunications, think again."

Samsung Electronics Co-CEO Responsible For Mobile Devices Dies Suddenly

Mark Cuban can handle billion-dollar deals, crypto debates, and <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/general/sports/25/02/43446178/mark-cuban-once-said-hed-pick-luka-over-his-wife-now-fans-rage-over-trade-to-lakers">NBA trades</a>—but hiccups? That's where he draws the line.
"I hate the motherf&#x2A;&#x2A;&#x2A;ing hiccups," Cuban said in <a href="https://www.gq.com/video/watch/gq-sports-10-essentials-mark-cuban">GQ's "10 Things Mark Cuban Can't Live Without" </a>video. And to fix them? He swears by a little invention called HiccAway, a doctor-designed straw-like device that claims to stop hiccups instantly—and has the research to back it up. "It works. I promise you it works," he added. "We keep one in the medicine closet."
Cuban first discovered the hiccup-fighting straw on ‘<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/tech/25/03/44409062/mark-cuban-breaks-down-the-no-1-red-flag-that-makes-him-want-to-look-for-a-way-out-on-shark-tank-reveals-dumbest-pitches-hes-seen-from-tail-lightz-to-original-man-candle">Shark Tank</a>,' when Dr. Ali Seifi, a neuro-intensivist from San Antonio, came in with a product and a pitch that was both weirdly specific and wildly convincing. Seifi had spent years watching patients suffer from uncontrollable hiccups during recovery and decided to do something about it. The result? A straw that uses pressure and diaphragmatic stimulation to reset the system. Science, meet simplicity.

<li>Hasbro, MGM, and Skechers Trust This AI Marketing Firm — <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/money/rad-intel">Invest Pre-IPO from $0.55 per share</a>.</li>
</ul>
The doctor asked for $250,000 in exchange for 10% equity. Cuban jumped in with a twist—$250,000 for 20%—and made it clear: he wasn't here for Shark games. "I just want a yes or no," Cuban told the founders. They said yes, despite Kevin O'Leary hovering with his own competing offer. Smart move.
In a <a href="https://youtu.be/VgQ5QtS7kXA?si=nRBVNTuVtN42MK7n">2022 episode of Duncan Robinson's ‘The Long Shot'&nbsp; podcast</a>, Cuban doubled down on his love for the product. "It's brilliant," he said. "It's just this little specialized—not straw, but square thingy—you put it in water and you suck through it, your hiccups are gone 95% of the time. It's like bam. Gone."
Since that ‘Shark Tank' pitch, HiccAway has racked up over $11 million in sales, landed on shelves at Amazon, Walmart, and H-E-B, and earned a permanent spot in Cuban's personal stash of must-haves, according to an update on <a href="https://www.sharktankblog.com/business/hiccaway/">Shark Tank Blog</a>.
"This is going to be in everyone's medicine cabinet," as he said on ‘Shark Tank.' That's not hyperbole—it's Cuban-speak for product-market fit.

With Cuban's seal of approval and a growing pile of positive reviews, HiccAway is turning an everyday annoyance into a solved problem. No apps. No pills. Just a plastic tool that works—and made a billionaire investor say bam.

Billionaire Warren Buffett is known for being frugal with his money. So, it&#8217;s interesting to find out that The Oracle of Omaha is paying $1 million to one lucky Berkshire Hathaway Inc (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/BRK#NYSE">BRK</a>)(NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/BRK#NYSE">BRK</a>) employee.
The employee isn't being rewarded for their work ethic or performance, but rather for a knowledge of college basketball and a little bit of <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/general/sports/25/03/44379231/warren-buffett-2025-march-madness-challenge-winner-no-longer-has-to-be-perfect-i-want-to-give-away-a-million-dollars">March Madness luck.</a>
What Happened: The round of 64 and round of 32 games were completed over the weekend leaving 16 teams competing for the <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/25/03/44405183/march-madness-2025-how-to-watch-betting-odds-and-the-one-stat-that-could-determine-a-winner">NCAA Men's National Basketball Championship.</a>
As Benzinga previously reported, Buffett has hosted an annual bracket challenge for employees of his conglomerate, often with the requirement that someone has a perfect bracket to get a huge payout.
With near <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/general/education/25/03/44404112/march-madness-perfect-brackets-near-impossible-odds-among-the-big-payouts-is-the-x-offer-for-trip-to-mars">impossible odds </a>of 1 in 9.2 quintillion to have a perfect bracket, Buffett decided to shake things up this year and offer a $1 million prize to any employee who could correctly predict 30 of the first 32 games.
"I want to give away a million dollars to somebody while I'm still around as chairman," Buffett said of the contest rule this year to The Wall Street Journal.
This year, someone finally won the $1 million prize. 
"We have our first ever confirmed award of The Prize," a memo to employees said, as seen by <a href="https://frontofficesports.com/warren-buffett-march-madness-pool-gives-first-1-million-dollar-prize/">FrontOfficeSports</a>.
Berkshire Hathaway <a href="https://www.wsj.com/livecoverage/stock-market-today-dow-nasdaq-sp500-03-24-2025/card/warren-buffett-has-his-1-million-bracket-contest-winner-1MrYJeE1EAnw4m5wRl6p">confirmed </a>to the Wall Street Journal that one person won the $1 million prize picking 31 of the first 32 games correctly. The contestant, who works at FlightSafety International, had a perfect bracket through 29 games before missing a game.
Another 11 employees will also take home $100,000 each for correctly predicting 31 of the first 32 games correctly, but having a miss earlier than the champion.
"I feel good that we sort of hit the sweet spot on this one," Buffett told The Wall Street Journal.

Why It's Important: Berkshire Hathaway has around 395,000 employees and Buffett's contest usually has around 70,000 entries with huge prizes typically off the table as the number of perfect brackets decline in the early days of the tournament.
This year's early March Madness games featured fewer big upsets than past years, which may have led to more perfect brackets longer than normal.
This marks the first time the Sweet 16 has not had a seed over a 10-seed in years. This is also the first tournament without a 13-seed, 14-seed, 15-seed or 16-seed winning in the first round since 2017.
On ESPN, where over 25 million brackets were submitted, a perfect bracket made it through the first three days of the tournament all the way to game 43 of 48 in the first weekend. The last perfect bracket incorrectly predicted that six-seeded Illinois would beat three-seeded Kentucky according to the <a href="https://www.ncaa.com/news/basketball-men/bracketiq/2025-03-23/longest-ncaa-bracket-has-ever-stayed-perfect">NCAA</a>.
Employees will have to wait until next year to see if Buffett keeps this rule in place or if he returns to making things harder to pay out $1 million or more.

The sharp decline in Tesla's (NASDAQ:<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/TSLA"> TSLA</a>) share price has been one of the biggest stories of 2025 and a recent report by JPMorgan (NYSE:<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/JPM"> JPM</a>) analysts predicts even heavier losses on the horizon. The analysis bluntly observed, &#8220;We (JP Morgan) struggle to think of anything analogous in the history of the automotive industry in which a brand has lost so much value so quickly.&#8221;
<a href="https://www.forbes.com/sites/dereksaul/2025/03/12/jpmorgans-scathing-tesla-prediction-musks-car-company-will-report-worst-quarterly-deliveries-in-3-years/">Forbes</a> published highlights of JPMorgan's analysis shortly after <a href="https://fortune.com/asia/2025/03/11/tesla-shares-drop-china-byd-ev/">Fortune</a> reported Tesla's stock lost $127 billion in value in just one day of trading in early March. Morgan Automotive Analyst Rob Brinkman wrote the report, which downgraded its expectations for Tesla's delivery vehicles this quarter from 445,000 to 335,000. If the report's predictions are accurate, Tesla's delivery total would be its lowest since Q3 2022.

</ul>
The report pulled even fewer punches when addressing the cause of Tesla's sudden and dramatic decline in popularity and value. It specifically mentioned Tesla CEO Elon Musk&#8217;s "divisive role in the new government." That's a not-so-subtle way of saying JPMorgan believes that Elon's position heading the Department of Government Efficiency has hurt the brand's image.
Forbes also pointed to the turn that many Americans have made on how they view Musk. It referenced a recent <a href="https://edition.cnn.com/2025/03/12/politics/cnn-poll-trump-economy/index.html">CNN</a> poll that found 53% of Americans hold a "negative view" of Musk. It appears a large chunk of that 53% includes people who would have purchased a Tesla but have now reconsidered. Brinkman's analysis noted a 50% year-on-year decline in new Tesla registrations for January.

Well-heeled progressives who want to own a luxury car while also lowering their carbon footprint flocked to Tesla almost immediately after their release and still account for a large portion of the automaker's customer base. However, many of them appear to be growing increasingly uncomfortable with Musk's sharp right turn politically and how he's running DOGE. It's almost impossible to imagine that it isn't negatively impacting Tesla sales.
Musk's bull-in-a-China shop at DOGE is not unusual in the tech sector, where Meta (NASDAQ:<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/META"> META</a>) CEO<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/25/03/44393122/mark-zuckerberg-announces-that-metas-llama-model-hits-1-billion-downloads-each-llama-download-represents-a-vote-of-confidence-in-open-source-ai-says-vp"> Mark Zuckerberg</a> once famously told his employees to "Move fast and break things." However, applying that same ethos to government agencies has proven to be much more problematic and less popular with the public, especially the ones who buy Teslas.
Musk's work at DOGE and his embrace of Trump's policies have certainly endeared him to a new fan base on the right, but it appears to be having the opposite effect on Tesla sales. Forbes quoted Brinkman's analysis as saying, "While as many members of the political right may be pleased as those on the left are displeased, the effect on Tesla sales seems nevertheless negative.&#8221;

If They Could Show A Plan For Ending World Hunger He'd Donate $6 Billion – ‘I Will Sell Tesla Stock Right Now And Do It'</a>
It's no secret that most of Musk's right-leaning fanbase prefer gas-powered vehicles, which means he can't rely on them to make up for the falloff in sales. Forbes also said that Brinkman believes that "Tesla appears to have the most to lose," if the Trump administration rolls back electric vehicle tax credits. These incentives played a huge role in boosting the company's popularity with buyers.
The picture is also complicated overseas. According to CNN, Tesla's year-on-year sales are down by 76% in Germany, where Musk has recently embraced the country's far-right political party. <a href="https://edition.cnn.com/2025/03/19/business/elon-musk-tesla-stock-nightcap/index.html">CNN</a> also reports a 49% year-on-year decline in Tesla sales in<a href="https://in.benzinga.com/economics/macro-economic-events/25/03/44367075/chinese-stocks-poised-for-best-quarter-vs-sp-500-since-2007-as-investors-bet-on-policy-turnaround"> China</a>. All told, it adds up to Tesla stock being down by over 40% since January. JPMorgan's report downgraded expectations for Tesla's share price to $120, which is almost 50% less than its current price.

Indonesia has tapped Bridgewater Associates&#8217; Ray Dalio and economist Jeffrey Sachs to advise its new sovereign wealth fund amid concerns about its governance. Indonesia&#8217;s stock market has <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/EIDO/news">tumbled in recent months</a>.
What Happened: The Southeast Asian country&#8217;s wealth fund, Danantara, appointed the two Americans as advisors on Monday, <a href="https://www.ft.com/content/d90a401b-d086-44a9-b00a-adf46f00f450">according</a> to the Financial Times.
Investors are reportedly concerned that the fund&#8217;s direct control by President Prabowo Subianto could jeopardize the fund&#8217;s integrity from political interference and transparency. Danantara consolidates state-owned banking, energy and telecom enterprises, worth $900 billion, aiming to invest $20 billion in minerals, AI, energy and food.
Why it Matters: Many of Indonesia&#8217;s largest state-owned enterprises are publicly owned. Investor concerns over governance have contributed to a more than 12% decline in the iShares MSCI Indonesia ETF (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/EIDO#NYSE">EIDO</a>) since Danantara's announcement in late February.
Dalio, founder of Bridgewater Associates, has long focused his fund on an <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/25/03/44275192/perhaps-ray-dalio-has-different-data-but-grok-thinks-elon-musk-publicly-corrects-the-legendary-investor-over">analysis of macroeconomic factors</a>. He is particularly interested in country debt and has recently <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/25/03/44345022/ray-dalio-has-a-chilling-warning-for-president-trump-debt-crisis-is-imminent-and-an-issue-of-paramount-importance">repeatedly warned countries</a> about the side effects of carrying a large debt load. Dalio, who built Bridgewater into one of the world&#8217;s largest hedge funds, is an intriguing choice given investor concerns about transparency.
Sachs, a professor at Columbia University, is notable for his continued support of <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/24/07/39668775/economist-slams-us-policies-to-contain-china-bringing-nations-close-to-war">expanding relations with China</a>. Dalio has previously urged investors to pay close attention to the country as <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/general/market-summary/25/03/44273552/ray-dalio-says-china-is-way-ahead-in-ai-and-robotics-us-lags-in-mass-production">a worthy rival</a> to the U.S. Their appointments come at a time when both China and the U.S. are <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/24/04/38042602/china-outranks-us-as-preferred-ally-in-southeast-asia-survey">vying for greater influence</a> in Southeast Asia, making their roles in shaping Danantara&#8217;s strategy even more significant.

Investors and analysts will likely be pouring through GameStop Corp (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/GME#NYSE">GME</a>) filings not to read about video games, but instead to find out if the company bought Bitcoin (CRYPTO: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/btc/usd">BTC</a>), which could be revealed when the company reports quarterly financial results Tuesday <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/earnings">after market close.</a>
Here's a look at the earnings estimates from analysts and key items to watch.
Earnings Estimates: Analysts expect GameStop to report fourth-quarter revenue of $1.48 billion, down from $1.79 billion in last year's fourth quarter according to data<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/pro/?utm_source=BZprocontent&amp;t=be2bearmibe3na1"> from Benzinga Pro.</a>
The company has missed analyst estimates for revenue in five straight quarters and in eight of the past 10 quarters overall.
Analysts expect GameStop to report fourth-quarter earnings per share of eight cents, down from 22 cents per share in last year's fourth quarter.
The company reported positive earnings of six cents per share and one cent per share in the third and second quarters respectively, after 12 cents per loss in the first quarter.

Key Items to Watch: Many eyes will be on GameStop's earnings release and filings to see if the company finally bought Bitcoin.
While investors and fans of GameStop have been suggesting that the video game retailer should buy Bitcoin for years, the idea could become a reality soon.
In February, GameStop CEO Ryan Cohen <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/trading-ideas/movers/25/02/43605313/gamestop-stock-is-surging-monday-whats-going-on">posted a picture</a> with Strategy Inc Chairman Michael Saylor on X, prompting speculation that the two may have talked about Bitcoin and how to add the leading cryptocurrency to GameStop's balance sheet similar to what Strategy has done over the years.
<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/general/gaming/25/02/43715293/gamestop-stock-jumps-on-report-its-considering-bitcoin-crypto-investments">A February report</a> from CNBC said GameStop was considering investing in Bitcoin and other cryptocurrencies. While there is no guarantee that the video game retailer added cryptocurrency investments in the fourth quarter or subsequent first quarter, investors will be hoping for an announcement or filing from the company.
Cohen was previously given control over investing GameStop's cash into stocks and other investments like cryptocurrency.
Cohen also recently transferred his stake in the company from an LLC to <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/general/gaming/25/01/43342224/ryan-cohen-moves-gamestop-shares-to-personal-name-sparking-speculation-on-next-steps">his personal name</a>, which could have been done for a number of reasons, but prompted speculation at potential M&amp;A activity.
GameStop is also <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/trading-ideas/movers/25/02/43783044/whats-going-on-with-gamestop-stock-tuesday">pursuing a sale </a>of its operations in France and Canada, which could increase cash on hand. The company had $4.62 billion in cash at the end of <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/general/gaming/24/12/42425015/gamestop-q3-earnings-revenue-miss-4b-cash-no-more-offerings-planned-in-fiscal-year">the third quarter.</a>
Investors and analysts continue to believe GameStop will do something with its cash in the future as it looks to move past being a video game retailer, which is a declining market in the digital era.
In the third quarter, GameStop reported year-over-year sales declines across its three major business segments: hardware and accessories, software and collectibles.
Shares of GameStop enjoyed a short boost after third-quarter financials when the company said it didn't expect to have any more at-the-market offerings for its common stock in the current fiscal year.
GME Price Action: GameStop stock closed Monday up 3.39% to $25.61 versus a 52-week trading range of $9.95 to $64.83. GameStop stock is down 17% year-to-date in 2025 with shares up 69% over the last year.
