COSOL Sees U.S. market as key growth driver

COSOL Limited Managing Director Scott McGowan talked with Proactive at AIM's Small and Midcap Conference about the company’s role in driving operational efficiency across asset-intensive industries. COSOL Limited works with organisations in mining, oil and gas, utilities, and public infrastructure to enhance the performance of their physical assets. McGowan explained the company’s core service as unlocking value by helping clients reduce costs through better asset management. “We look at ways that we can save them real dollars to be able to manage that asset more effectively,” he said. The company’s client list includes major names such as Glencore, Rio Tinto, BHP, and several government departments. COSOL provides the systems and processes behind the scenes to manage these organisations’ equipment and facilities, potentially impacting hundreds of millions in operational costs. Even a 2–3% improvement, McGowan said, “makes a significant difference to their bottom line.” COSOL has grown revenue from AUD 30 million to over AUD 110 million since listing. It is now targeting organic growth in the mid-teens and exploring earnings-accretive acquisitions. McGowan also highlighted COSOL’s presence in the U.S., describing it as the company’s largest potential market, where current operations may be expanded through acquisition. #COSOL #ASXStocks #ScottMcGowan #AssetManagement #MiningTech #Utilities #PublicInfrastructure #OperationalEfficiency #DataSolutions #IndustrialSoftware #GrowthStocks #USExpansion #InvestingInTech -

Fineqia International CEO unveils first DeFi yield ETP

Fineqia International Inc (CSE:FNQ, OTC:FNQQF) CEO Bundeep Singh Rangar talked with Proactive's Stephen Gunnion about launching the world’s first exchange-traded product (ETP) that deploys digital assets in yield-bearing decentralized finance (DeFi). Rangar explained the product's unique value, providing access to DeFi yield through a transparent, regulated security listed on the Vienna Stock Exchange. The Fineqia FTSE Cardano Enhanced Yield ETN (AV:YADA) is based on the Cardano network, a top ten cryptocurrency valued at over $35 billion, and allows investors to participate in DeFi activities such as borrowing, lending, and validating transactions, which generate fees. Unlike traditional ETFs and ETNs, Fineqia's product reinvests 80% of these yields back to investors, making it a truly innovative approach. Rangar highlighted the importance of partnering with FTSE Russell, a subsidiary of the London Stock Exchange, to ensure robust pricing data for this groundbreaking product. He added, "This is an icebreaker for what we want to do in the industry... We’re about being innovative and different." This collaboration sets a milestone for the ETP industry by combining blockchain technology and traditional finance, giving fund managers and retail investors easy access to decentralized finance through a familiar financial instrument.

Biome Australia expands global footprint, targets strong growth in clinically proven Probiotics

Biome Australia Managing Director Blair Norfolk joined Steve Darling from Proactive to talk about the company’s expansion strategy and continued growth in clinically validated, condition-specific probiotics. As a leader in live biotherapeutics, Biome Australia has developed probiotics with proven benefits across various health conditions, including mental health, asthma, cardiovascular health, and skin care. The company has over 20 clinical trials validating its products in those areas including the world’s first asthma probiotic, which achieved a 64% reduction in asthma events. Biome’s practitioner-only model ensures that products are recommended by health professionals and sold behind pharmacy counters, contributing to approximately 30% of total sales. While Australia remains the core market, generating over 90% of revenue, Biome is actively expanding into New Zealand, the UK, Ireland, and Canada. Norfolk noted that early results in Canada are ahead of schedule, with further updates expected on the ASX. Instead of launching new products, Biome is focused on expanding use cases for its existing 18-product portfolio, ensuring efficient cash flow management and lower product risk. Biome has emerged as the #2 probiotics brand in Australia’s community pharmacy market by total revenue. Norfolk credited ongoing research and innovation as key drivers of success. Looking ahead, Biome expects a strong close to FY25, fueled by increased demand during cold and flu season, and is on track to deliver its first full-year net profit as part of its Vision 27 strategic plan. #proactiveinvestors #biomeaustralialimited #asx #bio #BlairNorfolk #LiveBiotherapeutics #MentalHealthProbiotics #AsthmaTreatment #PharmaceuticalGrowth #ASXUpdates #NaturalMedicine #TargetedTherapy #PharmacyInnovation #InvestingInHealth #CanadianPharma #ColdAndFluSeason
