Here’s a list of today’s most important names.
1. ReposiTrak (NYSE: TRAK)
Background: ReposiTrak operates the world’s largest food traceability and regulatory compliance network, providing inventory management solutions to enhance food safety and regulatory compliance. The ReposiTrak Traceability Network (RTN) connects over 4,000 suppliers and helps ensure proactive adherence to FDA guidelines.
The News: ReposiTrak recently welcomed 50 new dairy and egg suppliers to its RTN. These suppliers will utilize the platform to exchange FDA-mandated Key Data Elements ahead of the January 2026 regulatory deadline. Among the new members are a fourth-generation, family-owned egg producer, a global dairy cooperative, and a pasture-raised farming brand.
What it Means: By expanding its network with these suppliers, ReposiTrak bolsters its position as a leader in food traceability. The additions also enhance the network’s value for retailers, allowing for efficient, regulation-compliant data exchange. With food safety regulations tightening, ReposiTrak’s hardware-free approach is attracting widespread industry adoption.
Stock Reaction: TRAK stock saw an increase in trading volume whilst eking out a small gain for the day (1.3%), with investors noting the company’s strengthened market position in traceability and compliance solutions.
Social Sweep: Traders on X.com and StockTwits are trumpeting the fact that TRAK is the only food traceability solution in a world where there’s seemingly a new story about food safety issues every day.
2. BioStem Technologies (OTC: BSEM)
Background: BioStem Technologies specializes in regenerative medicine, focusing on placental-derived biologics. Through its proprietary BioREtain® technology, the company develops wound care products, such as AmnioWrap2®, to treat conditions like diabetic foot ulcers.
The News: BioStem reported record Q3 revenue of $82.6 million, marking its third consecutive quarter of growth. The launch of Vendaje AC® in partnership with Venture Medical and broad Medicare reimbursement coverage boosted earnings. Additionally, BioStem filed for a Nasdaq uplisting and initiated a clinical trial for diabetic foot ulcer treatment.
What it Means: BioStem’s consistent revenue growth highlights strong market acceptance for its innovative wound care products. The Medicare coverage and new clinical trials further enhance its potential market reach, positioning BioStem as a key player in regenerative therapies. The Nasdaq uplisting could bring additional visibility and investment.
Stock Reaction: BSEM shares experienced a modest rise, as investors responded positively to the earnings growth and the prospect of a national listing.
Social Sweep: Investors on StockTwits are lauding the fact that BSEM will attract many more institutional investors when they up-list to a national exchange. This is at a time when they’re growing very fast which could bode well for the stock.
3. Mogo (NASDAQ: MOGO)
Background: Mogo is a financial technology company that offers digital wealth and payment services. Its subsidiary, Carta Worldwide, provides global digital payment processing and is increasingly gaining traction in the European market.
The News: Mogo announced that Carta Worldwide processed $3 billion in payment volume in Q3, a 23% increase year-over-year. This achievement marks a new record for Carta and reflects the success of its partnerships with large European clients, positioning it as a robust player in the international payments space.
What it Means: The increased transaction volume signals growing demand for Carta’s payment solutions and reflects Mogo’s solid foothold in the global payments market. This growth could further fuel Mogo’s revenue streams, with management expressing confidence in Carta’s trajectory toward a $12 billion annual run rate.
Stock Reaction: MOGO stock saw an 8.2% drop, most likely profit-taking after a monster multi-day run after beating on earnings last week. This morning’s news seemed to have fallen on deaf ears.
Social Sweep: Investors on X.com and StockTwits seem to be reaching pessimistic/ bearish exhaustion with this former high-flyer. With the majority of posts being bearish, it appears investors have had enough and the name has fallen out of favour. This could be the ultimate contrarian signal or a value trap—time will tell.
4. Birchtech (OTC: BCHT)
Background: Birchtech, formerly known as Midwest Energy Emissions Corp., is an environmental technology company focused on sustainable solutions for water and air purification. Its operations include mercury emissions capture and PFAS water treatment technologies.
The News: Birchtech began trading on the Toronto Stock Exchange today, transitioning from the TSX Venture Exchange. This listing boosts the company’s visibility among institutional and retail investors, particularly those focused on environmental technology. CEO Richard MacPherson noted that Birchtech’s recent lab center launch for PFAS water treatment further underscores its innovation in environmental tech.
What it Means: The TSX listing marks an important milestone, providing Birchtech with increased visibility and access to larger capital pools. With PFAS treatment becoming a growing concern globally, Birchtech’s technologies could position it to capitalize on the demand for sustainable water purification.
Stock Reaction: BCHT shares rose by 2.86% following the announcement, with investors reacting favorably to the enhanced market exposure and potential growth in water treatment solutions.
Social Sweep: Investors on social media are lauding the TSX up-listing expecting it to drive additional investment. Others are cautiously optimistic citing the fact that the fundamentals will have to improve for the increased exposure to matter.
5. Momentus (NASDAQ: MNTS)
Background: Momentus is a commercial space company providing satellite buses and in-space services. Its Vigoride platform is designed for defense, commercial, and government customers, supporting a range of low-Earth orbit missions.
The News: Momentus was awarded a prototype order contract under the Defense Department’s HALO program. This contract, part of a broader initiative to develop space technologies for national security, allows Momentus to participate in rapid prototyping missions for the U.S. Space Development Agency.
What it Means: This contract positions Momentus as a key player in defense-focused space infrastructure. The HALO program’s focus on quick-turnaround prototyping could pave the way for future collaborations and solidify Momentus’s role in government contracts.
Stock Reaction: MNTS shares fell 7%, on lower than average trading volume as investors shrugged off the company’s purchase order news, or more likely the hangover from the Nasdaq delisting notice from last month.
Social Sweep: MNTS is currently registering bearish sentiment on StockTwits, one notch up from very bearish and message volume has been increasing on the platform. Most on the platform are bullish on the prospect of a Trump administration Space Force which could drive revenue.
6. ON24 (NYSE: ONTF)
Background: ON24 is a leading engagement platform for B2B sales and marketing. Its solutions help companies conduct virtual events and webinars, capturing insights that enhance audience engagement and drive business results.
The News: ON24 was recognized as a top engagement platform in the G2 Fall 2024 Report, reflecting high customer satisfaction and strong market presence. The company’s use of AI-driven insights has helped maintain its position as a leader in virtual engagement solutions, particularly for enterprises focused on digital-first strategies.
What it Means: ON24’s high placement in G2 rankings highlights its reputation in the virtual engagement space. As more companies adopt digital engagement solutions, ON24’s standing as a trusted platform is likely to attract further enterprise clients, expanding its revenue potential.
Stock Reaction: ONTF shares rose by 0.15% in response to the G2 ranking news, as investors view the positive reception as an indicator of the company’s growth potential.

The News: Richardson Electronics expanded its distribution partnership to cover Europe, the Middle East, and Africa (EMEA), offering broader access to its cutting-edge power technologies. This extension supports Richardson’s strategy to capture demand in emerging renewable energy and semiconductor markets across the EMEA region.
What it Means: This partnership positions Richardson Electronics to leverage the rising demand for power solutions, especially in renewables and high-performance technologies. The EMEA expansion reflects the company’s commitment to growth and positions it as a supplier of choice in the energy and industrial sectors.
Stock Reaction: RELL shares experienced a modest increase today, but have rallied 26% over the past 90 days as the extended distribution deal highlights the company’s international growth ambitions.
