    NetraMark – Launch of a groundbreaking collaboration with a leading medical center in the US

    NetraMark is increasingly becoming a pioneer in the use of explainable artificial intelligence for the pharma and biotech industries. With its NetraAI platform, the Company is able to divide even small and complex patient data sets into explainable and unexplainable subsets, a decisive advantage over many conventional AI methods, which often lead to overfitting. Based on this differentiated analysis, NetraAI can provide more precise hypotheses, identify variable influencing factors, and thus significantly increase the chances of success in clinical trials. The Canadians are therefore creating an innovative approach to segmenting diseases in a differentiated manner and targeting specific patient groups for therapies.

    NetraMark has strategically expanded its field of activity in recent months. With the introduction of NetraAI 2.0, the Company is attracting the attention of pharmaceutical companies seeking more efficient clinical trials with higher success rates and lower costs. An outstanding example is the collaboration with Asclepion Pharmaceuticals, in which NetraAI is being used in a Phase III trial in the field of pediatric heart surgery. Here, the platform helps identify subgroups of children who benefit particularly strongly from treatment with L-citrulline.

    Now comes the next big step: NetraMark is launching a groundbreaking AI collaboration in glioblastoma research. In cooperation with a leading US medical research center, the Company will gain access to advanced clinical and biomarker data derived from proteome analyses. The goal is to develop an AI-supported decision-making and analysis tool for future glioblastoma studies, one of the most aggressive and treatment-resistant cancers. Median survival is only 15 months, and more than 90% of previous studies have failed, often due to heterogeneous patient populations and a lack of precise biomarkers. This is exactly where NetraAI comes in: by creating so-called NetraPersonas, explainable patient subgroups are identified, unlocking new insights into disease progression, treatment response, and resistance mechanisms.

    Specifically, NetraMark is taking on the challenge of deciphering the following aspects in longitudinal cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) data: differentiation of glioblastomas from non-tumor controls, differentiation from other brain tumors, analysis of tumor development in recurrences, molecular effects of surgical interventions, responses to chemoradiation and immunotherapies. Data sets generated on the SomaLogic platform are available for this purpose, supplemented by de-identified research material. The goal: greater efficiency and higher success rates in glioblastoma studies thanks to targeted patient selection and biomarker-based strategies.

    With this initiative, NetraMark is positioning itself as a key player in precision oncology. The combination of explainable AI with high-quality academic data resources not only opens up new perspectives for cancer research but could soon fundamentally transform clinical development. For investors, this represents a highly exciting growth story at the intersection of medical breakthroughs and AI innovation - a field that is just beginning to unfold its full potential. Given this momentum, it is hardly surprising that the share price has recently climbed to around CAD 1.80. One gets the sense that CEO George Achilleos is just getting started. Buy!

    D-Wave Quantum – The next generation leap is lurking here

    D-Wave Quantum's stock is making waves with a 12-month performance of over 2,400%. In the field of medicine, D-Wave supports the market with its quantum annealing technology AI applications, which can be particularly helpful in drug development and diagnosis. One example is the collaboration with Japan Tobacco, where D-Wave is developing quantum-based AI applications for accelerated drug discovery. Quantum computing makes it possible to efficiently analyze complex biological systems and large amounts of medical data, for example for personalized medicine, genomics, or cancer diagnostics. Quantum-based AI can recognize patterns in data that cannot be found as quickly or accurately with classical systems, leading to earlier diagnosis and optimized treatment plans.

    D-Wave recently unveiled its new Advantage2 quantum computer system, marking a key milestone for its entry into commercial applications. The Company has also announced partnerships in South Korea and completed a USD 400 million capital raise, strengthening its financial position and providing more room for development. Whether these latest moves will sustain the steep upward trend remains uncertain. D-Wave could soon see some big short attacks, so investors should exercise caution.

    Palantir Technologies - The price is unstoppable

    Things are also pretty crazy at Palantir Technologies. With its AI-based espionage systems, the Nasdaq big data stock is now part of the inner circle of highly sensitive technology companies. Here, any valuation is fair in order to protect the brilliant inventions from outside interference. The Company now has dozens of contractual relationships with Western administrations and military units. CEO Alex Karp is proud to be doing important reconnaissance work for Ukraine. Investors are keeping a close eye on the stock's unbroken upward trend. With a 2026 P/S ratio of 20 and a P/E ratio above 100, investors should always be on their guard and consistently adjust their stops.

    At the start of the year, NetraMark is performing very well with a 45% gain. Comparing it to mega high-flyers D-Wave and Palantir is somewhat misleading, as these are two highly specialized NASDAQ stocks. However, investors can be pleased if they hold any one of the three stocks in their portfolio. Source: LSEG as of 09/29/2025

    Artificial intelligence is revolutionizing healthcare and is increasingly becoming an indispensable tool in diagnostics, therapy planning, and the evaluation of clinical studies. Companies like NetraMark are impressing with transparent, explainable AI models that analyze medical data precisely and make research processes significantly more efficient. Examples such as D-Wave and Palantir illustrate how strongly future expectations have already driven up company valuations in this sector. However, there is no guarantee that these leading positions will continue to hold in the next three years. At NetraMark, on the other hand, there are many indications that the growth path will continue on a solid footing, as the business model has the potential to bring about lasting change in the industry.

    Yes, you read that correctly. Pharmaceutical companies are actively embracing artificial intelligence (AI) and, thanks to lower costs, better validation, and faster study setups, could emerge as winners of the new AI wave in the medium term. Many stocks in the life sciences sector had been overlooked by the market, but investors are now taking notice again. Eli Lilly is betting on AI and expanding its portfolio through targeted acquisitions, including the takeovers of sleep-wake specialist Centessa Pharmaceuticals and blood cancer specialist Ajax. At Evotec and Vidac Pharma, much of the focus is on cancer, while Novo Nordisk faces stiff competition from Eli Lilly's weight-loss drugs. Then came the welcome news regarding Bayer. The Supreme Court ruled that approximately 181,000 individual lawsuits alleging a lack of warning labels on packaging are no longer legally viable, as the US Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) has classified the herbicide glyphosate as safe. Lots of good news, and plenty of opportunities for active investors - we provide a few insights.

    Boom, Thanks to the AI Loop: Broadcom, HPQ Silicon, and GitLab

    Whether it is the AI revolution, quantum computing, or electric vehicles, the tech sector is booming worldwide—from the Nasdaq to the KOSPI. Keeping pace with this growth requires a massive expansion of infrastructure. Data centers and semiconductor manufacturing capacity are being built out at an unprecedented rate, while memory and chip equipment suppliers are ramping up production. Artificial intelligence is driving this process itself. This phenomenon is known as "recursive self-improvement." AI is currently becoming faster and more capable through three reinforcing mechanisms: it writes better code by building on previous generations of AI, it optimizes hardware—such as the design of next-generation AI chips from Nvidia or Broadcom—and it discovers more efficient circuit designs than human engineers could achieve on their own. The result is a powerful feedback loop that is also delivering major benefits to other industries. Today, we take a closer look at three technology companies that stand to benefit from this trend: Broadcom, HPQ Silicon, and GitLab. Without Broadcom, none of this would be possible.

    No copper, no AI! Freeport McMoran, Power Metallic Mines, and Lundin Mining in Focus

    • Mining
    • PGMs
    • Copper
    • AI

    The whole world is focused on AI stocks like Nvidia, Broadcom, and Micron Technologies. Behind the scenes, however, demand for raw materials like copper is also growing massively. An AI data center requires enormous amounts of the red metal per megawatt of installed capacity—primarily for power distribution, grounding, and transformers. The demand for copper in AI-optimized data centers is estimated at 30 to 40 metric tonnes per megawatt. Added to this is network infrastructure, where, for example, Nvidia relies on a custom-designed copper cabling system for the internal cabling of its latest NVL72 server architecture. A single AI server rack contains kilometres of copper cabling, as copper offers lower latency and lower power consumption over very short distances compared to alternative materials. And behind the scenes, power grids must be upgraded and expanded. The CRU Group therefore forecasts that global copper demand from data centers and AI alone will rise from around 500,000 metric tonnes today to as much as 2 million metric tonnes annually by 2030. BHP expects global copper demand to increase by an additional 3.4 million metric tonnes by 2030. And this is where the problem comes in. Copper supply cannot grow that quickly, which is why copper prices are also rising steadily. Today, we are looking at the stocks of Freeport-McMoRan, Power Metallic Mines, and Lundin Mining.
