Earnings Scheduled For February 12, 2025

The PEO AlphaQuest Thematic PE ETF (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/LQPE#NYSE">LQPE</a>) made its market debut Tuesday with a unique investment strategy that brings together public equity with derivatives. The <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/etfs">actively managed fund</a>, a collaborative effort of PEO Partners, Tidal Financial Group and AlphaQuest, prioritizes the simultaneous achievement of capital appreciation and income generation.
To achieve its objectives, the ETF employs a two-pronged offering. The equity segment picks companies that align with characteristics typically valued by private equity funds. This aspect will be managed by PEO Partners. The second component is the derivatives strategy overseen by AlphaQuest, which provides leveraged market exposure and employs hedging techniques to reduce downside volatility. 
The fund aims to hold between 250 to 350 securities and carries an expense ratio of 1.25%.

The ETF&#8217;s strategy mirrors private equity investments without being tied to traditional benchmarks. "We are excited to partner with AlphaQuest and Tidal to bring to the market a truly innovative investment strategy that is benchmark-agnostic since the portfolio's investment themes are anchored around private equity," said Randy Cohen, Co-Founder of PEO.
He emphasized the potential for long-term appreciation while maintaining manageable drawdowns during market volatility.
This launch comes amid growing interest in thematic ETFs. According to ETFGI, assets invested in thematic ETFs globally reached a new record high of $324.88 billion at the end of November 2024. 
The success of thematic ETFs has been demonstrated by firms like U.S. Global Investors, Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/GROW#NASDAQ">GROW</a>), which <a href="https://www.globenewswire.com/news-release/2025/01/13/3008669/0/en/U-S-Global-Investors-Highlights-Positive-2024-Results-for-Its-Thematic-Smart-Beta-2-0-ETFs.html">reported</a> positive total returns for its smart beta 2.0 ETFs in 2024. The U.S. Global Jets ETF (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/JETS#NYSE">JETS</a>) gained 33.21%, U.S. Global GO GOLD and Precious Metal Miners ETF (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/GOAU#NYSE">GOAU</a>) rose 13.80% and the U.S. Global Sea to Sky Cargo ETF (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/SEA#NYSE">SEA</a>) posted a 2.23% gain, including a $2.10 per share dividend.

PEO, AlphaQuest, Tidal Launch ETF With Private Equity-Inspired Strategy, Thematic Appeal

U.S. Global Investors Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/GROW#NASDAQ">GROW</a>) <a href="https://www.globenewswire.com/news-release/2025/01/13/3008669/0/en/U-S-Global-Investors-Highlights-Positive-2024-Results-for-Its-Thematic-Smart-Beta-2-0-ETFs.html">celebrated </a>a banner year in 2024 with its flagship ETFs witnessing solid returns.
The standout performer? The U.S. Global Jets ETF (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/JETS#NYSE">JETS</a>) soared 33.21% higher, spurred by an uptick in travel demand, effective capacity management and lower fuel prices. These drivers helped lift the <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/topic/aviation">broader aviation sector</a> fly high.
The Transportation Security Administration&nbsp;(TSA) reportedly screened more than 900 million passengers, up 5% compared to 2023.
United Airlines Holdings Inc (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/UAL#NASDAQ">UAL</a>) was the biggest winner, with its stock soaring 135% on-year in 2024.
<h1 class="wp-block-heading">U.S. Global Jets ETF: An Investment to Consider?</h1>
The U.S. Global Jets ETF aims to replicate the performance of the U.S. Global Jets Index through a portfolio of 51 securities. With an asset base of $1.07 billion, the fund has an expense ratio of 0.60%, which can be a cost-effective investment choice. In addition, this fund allocates almost half of its holdings to large-cap stocks, and top holdings include American Airlines Group (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/AAL#NASDAQ">AAL</a>),&nbsp;Delta Air Lines (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/DAL#NYSE">DAL</a>) and United Airlines.
Moreover, this pure-play aviation holds stocks of both domestic and international companies with a range of market capitalization.&nbsp;This spreads out the risk of volatility in a particular geographic region.
Nonetheless, a point to be noted here is that the fund features a beta of 1.43, which means it is at slightly higher risk to be more volatile than the market.
<h1 class="wp-block-heading">Other U.S. Global ETFs that Contributed to a Stellar Year</h1>
The U.S. Global GO GOLD and Precious Metal Miners ETF (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/GOAU#NYSE">GOAU</a>) gained an impressive 13.80%. This performance mirrored gold's sharp rise, as the metal hit an all-time high of $2,787 per ounce on Oct. 30, 2024.
A modest 2.23% gains closed the year for the U.S. Global Sea to Sky Cargo ETF (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/SEA#NYSE">SEA</a>). However, a $2.10-per-share dividend was the highlight of the year for this ETF, braving the headwinds that the cargo shipping industry faced, including geopolitical instability and labor disputes.
Adding to its suite of thematic ETFs, U.S. Global Investors <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/global/25/01/42772220/us-global-launches-technology-and-aerospace-defense-etf-why-its-allocation-makes-sense">launched </a>the U.S. Global Technology and Aerospace &amp; Defense ETF (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/WAR#NYSE">WAR</a>) on Dec. 30, 2024. This ETF has substantial exposure to data centers, homeland protection, aerospace and defense, cybersecurity and semiconductor, key areas of interest in today&#8217;s world.

US Global Investors Shines In 2024: JETS ETF Soars 33% Amid Travel Boom; Gold, Shipping Funds Add To Gains

The launch of the U.S. Global Technology and Aerospace &amp; Defense ETF (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/WAR#NYSE">WAR</a>) on Dec. 30, 2024, and its subsequent debut on the New York Stock Exchange, is another feather in the cap for U.S. Global Investors Inc (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/GROW#NASDAQ">GROW</a>) extensive suite of ETFs targeting specific sectors. The fund aims to bring investors into the areas of advanced technology, defense and aerospace with an expense ratio of 0.6%.
The ETF holds total net assets of $1 million, per the company&#8217;s fact sheet, and rebalances quarterly. Holdings are split, with the following 10 holdings equally representing seven percent each of the fund: Applied Materials (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/AMAT#NASDAQ">AMAT</a>), Booz Allen Hamilton Holding Corp. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/BAH#NYSE">BAH</a>), General Dynamics Corp (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/GD#NYSE">GD</a>), Hexcel Corp (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/HXL#NYSE">HXL</a>), Leidos Holdings Inc (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/LDOS#NYSE">LDOS</a>), and NVIDIA Corp (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/NVDA#NASDAQ">NVDA</a>). Other notable holdings include Rheinmetall AG, Cohort plc, Cognyte Software and F5, each constituting 4% of the portfolio.
A general breakdown of the ETF holdings looks like this: data centers, homeland protection, aerospace and defense, cybersecurity, and semiconductor. All these sectors are interconnected in today&#8217;s global economy.
Interestingly, <a href="https://www.usglobaletfs.com/app/uploads/2024/12/WAR-Factsheet.pdf">28%</a> of the ETF's technology sector exposure will consist of semiconductor stocks. This is important as the chip industry has been in the spotlight for a while now for its lucrative outlook. According to a recent <a href="https://www.pwc.com/gx/en/industries/technology/state-of-the-semicon-industry.html">PwC report</a>, global semiconductor revenues are anticipated to grow "more than twice as fast as global GDP, reaching over $1 trillion by 2030." Thus, a larger exposure in this area makes sense.
Also, another 28% of the fund's overall holdings will go to Cybersecurity, an area that needs intense R&amp;D and consistent advancements to tackle the growing sophistication of global cybercrimes, including cyberespionage, a major headache for governments.
The stocks included in this actively managed fund will be chosen subject to some quantitative and fundamental parameters. Also, there is a possibility for the fund to invest in foreign companies and emerging markets. The fund prospectus currently states that its exposure to companies in the U.S. is 83%, U.K. is 7%, Germany is 7%, France 3% and Norway 3%.
The ETF issuer has a note of warning to investors in its press release: "The fund's concentration in the securities of a particular industry namely Aerospace and Defense, Cybersecurity and Semi-conductor industries as well as geographic concentration may cause it to be more susceptible to greater fluctuations in share price and volatility due to adverse events that affect the Fund's investments."
Nonetheless, the defense industry presents a significant investment opportunity due to various global factors. 
Russia&#8217;s invasion of Ukraine, tensions with China and heightened military spending especially in Europe due to the almost doubling of arms imports between 2019 and 2023 will require high levels of defense spending. 
Advanced technologies in warfare are transforming war; countries are heavily investing in AI, hypersonic missiles, and autonomous weapons, with the example being China. 
As detailed by U.S. Global ETFs, cyber threats are also rising, with a 75% increase in global cyberattacks and leading to high investments in cyber security infrastructure. Bipartisan U.S. defense spending and increases in NATO military spending add weight to the potential growth of this sector. Another reason for European defense system modernization and the reduction of U.S. reliance on their systems is to grow more independent.

U.S. Global Investors, Inc.

This represents a substantial increase of nearly 200% from the number of shares purchased the same month a year earlier.
As a reminder, the Board of Directors (the "Board") modified the Company's buyback program in February 2022, increasing the annual limit <a href="https://www.globenewswire.com/Tracker?data=A0eY5AdhpmP3Cp4ytaFGG9mKz_nvhityu6NJDOpjnC3JYG9dQd-IAq8ZoBDiwqOAoVcUqSGH33xuTet8grFUAEnfmtWY0K36rGbdIFTSmPrxlFJlRSLABSRspcyfRL1FxT2eomoHDInT2VYKriHbepdFGARz8nN4dChwiyDDO-FOwqKX_HSduoH2ijRke1Is">from $2.75 million to $5 million.</a> Since March 2022, the Company has bought back around 1 million of its shares.
"U.S. Global Investors is committed to enhancing shareholder value, and buying back our own stock is just one way that demonstrates our strategic approach to capital allocation. It also showcases our confidence in the Company's future prospects," says Frank Holmes, the Company's CEO and Chief Investment Officer. "We believe GROW is deeply undervalued right now, and we will continue buying as small-cap stocks remain under pressure from higher borrowing costs."

U.S. Global Investors Announces An Increase Of Nearly 200% From The Number Of Shares Purchased The Same Month A Year Earlier

Thursday marks the last chance for investors to receive the next dividend payout from US Global Investors (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/GROW#NASDAQ">GROW</a>). 
<h3>What's Happening</h3>
The company announced on Tuesday that it would pay shareholders a monthly dividend of 0.75 cents per share. On Friday, US Global Investors will go ex-dividend, meaning the stock will trade lower to reflect that payout. In other words, the stock will likely open 0.75 cents lower than it would have opened on any other day.
In order to be eligible to receive a company's dividend, shareholders must own the stock prior to the ex-dividend date—in this case, Friday. Shareholders who own GROW as of the end of Thursday's session are eligible to receive the 0.75 cents dividend payout for every share that they own. 
According to the company, this dividend will be paid out to shareholders on January 22, 2024. Investors will then be able to either reinvest those dividends back into the stock or use the payment in some other way.

US Global Investors's Ex-Dividend Date Is Thursday, Here's What You Need To Know

&nbsp;U.S. Global Investors, Inc. (<a href="https://www.globenewswire.com/Tracker?data=RIb5pIFGHmXq4_plbrZkWn_P6G_xNbzpiwVGvsMdL69lHMZ97ZbLuZdXfI3b7h6UIIL_a5CK2HgxDnHopDbmwA==" target="_blank">NASDAQ</a>:&nbsp;<a href="https://www.globenewswire.com/Tracker?data=4vhwyTRzr18F1W5A2FfjAuuEeGkEaiGJKYQEzEhE-g5wAN_0EAah9ujibKZdf1FtI-K472dM_BnI4iqOJSUWXA==" target="_blank">GROW</a>) (the &quot;Company&quot;), a registered investment advisory firm with longstanding experience in global markets and specialized sectors, today is pleased to announce that it repurchased 61,989 of its own shares in July 2023, at a net cost of over&nbsp;$196,000. This represents an increase of approximately&nbsp;162%&nbsp;from the number of shares purchased the previous month and a significant&nbsp;951%&nbsp;increase from the same month a year earlier.
The Board of Directors (the &quot;Board&quot;) modified the Company&#39;s buyback program in December 2022, making it possible for the Company to buy back shares of GROW stock when the price is flat or down from the previous trading day.
Continuation of Monthly Dividends
The Board approved payment of the&nbsp;$0.0075&nbsp;per share per month dividend beginning in July 2023 and continuing through September 2023. The record dates are August 14 and September 11, and the payment dates will be August 28 and September 25.
The continuation of future cash dividends will be determined by the Board, at its sole discretion, after review of the Company&#39;s financial performance and other factors, and is dependent on earnings, operations, capital requirements, general financial condition of the Company and general business conditions.
Domestic Airlines&#39; Record-Setting Quarter
On a final note, the Company is excited to share details of the domestic airline industry&#39;s record-setting quarter ended June 30. American Airlines Group Inc. (&quot;American&quot;) and Delta Air Lines Inc. (&quot;Delta&quot;) both reported record revenues during the&nbsp;second quarter&mdash;American with&nbsp;$14.1 billion&nbsp;and Delta with&nbsp;$15.6 billion&mdash;on strong summer travel demand. American raised its full-year 2023 adjusted earnings per share (EPS)&nbsp;guidance&nbsp;to between&nbsp;$3.00&nbsp;and&nbsp;$3.75, while Delta says it will be using its cash flow to pay down a projected&nbsp;$4 billion&nbsp;in debt by year-end.
United Airlines Holdings Inc. (&quot;United&quot;) reported record adjusted EPS of&nbsp;$5.03&nbsp;during the June quarter and raised its 2023&nbsp;guidance&nbsp;to between&nbsp;$11&nbsp;and&nbsp;$12&nbsp;per share, up from previous&nbsp;guidance&nbsp;of between&nbsp;$10&nbsp;and&nbsp;$12. The carrier said that it flew 2,400 scheduled flights per day on average in the&nbsp;second quarter, the most in company history.
&quot;American, Delta and United represent three of the largest holdings in the&nbsp;U.S. Global Jets ETF (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/JETS#NYSE">JETS</a>),&nbsp;so we believe the record financial results are highly positive for what remains our largest fund, with approximately&nbsp;$1.8 billion&nbsp;in assets under management (AUM) as of July 31, 2023,&quot; says Frank Holmes, the Company&#39;s CEO and Chief Investment Officer. &quot;Despite higher rates, fears of a recession appear to be receding as the economy continues to defy expectations and consumers continue to spend. Against this optimistic backdrop, airlines are adding new routes and expanding service into additional countries, with United recently announcing the largest-ever network expansion from the U.S. to the South Pacific. For investors who may be seeking a way to gain exposure to this travel boom, I believe JETS to be an excellent choice.&quot;

San Antonio, TX, Feb. 21, 2023 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- U.S. Global Investors, Inc. (<a href="https://www.globenewswire.com/Tracker?data=BmTV-qoroor1XR7Uz3nFdBbH_zoVxWOwd8OXpGKl_9UQUCVy0LBTng50GeBV6QHAnryBpLbLtXAG0NTzpA5Cww==" target="_blank">NASDAQ</a>:&nbsp;<a href="https://www.globenewswire.com/Tracker?data=I9Wyzl6tvEjsD_Wfh2r75uXj90aml0OI3Dllk27TzQ4v682KET2hhMdtIX30EF1z" target="_blank">GROW</a>) (the &quot;Company&quot;), a registered investment advisory firm with longstanding experience in global markets and specialized sectors, today announces that it received a standard notification letter dated February 16, 2023, (the &quot;Nasdaq notice&quot; or &quot;notice&quot;) from the Nasdaq Listing Qualifications Department of Nasdaq notifying the Company that it is no longer in compliance with Nasdaq Listing Rule 5250 (c)(1), which requires timely filing of all required financial reports with the U. S. Securities and Exchange Commission.
The Nasdaq notice has no immediate impact on the listing or trading of the Company&#39;s common stock on the Nasdaq Capital Market.&nbsp;The notice provides that the Company has until April 17, 2023 (that is, 60 calendar days from the date of the Nasdaq notice) to submit to Nasdaq a plan (the &quot;Compliance Plan&quot;), to regain compliance with the Nasdaq Listing Rules. If Nasdaq accepts the Compliance Plan, Nasdaq can grant the Company an exception to extend for an additional 180 calendar days from the extended due date of the Form 10-Q filing date, or August 14, 2023, to regain compliance. The Company is working diligently to file its Form 10-Q.

Thursday marks the last chance for investors to receive the next dividend payout from US Global Investors (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/GROW#NASDAQ">GROW</a>). 
<h3>What's Happening</h3>
The company announced on Wednesday that it would pay shareholders a monthly dividend of 0.75 cents per share. On Friday, US Global Investors will go ex-dividend, meaning the stock will trade lower to reflect that payout. In other words, the stock will likely open 0.75 cents lower than it would have opened on any other day.
In order to be eligible to receive a company's dividend, shareholders must own the stock prior to the ex-dividend date—in this case, Friday. Shareholders who own GROW as of the end of Thursday's session are eligible to receive the 0.75 cents dividend payout for every share that they own. 
According to the company, this dividend will be paid out to shareholders on January 23, 2023. Investors will then be able to either reinvest those dividends back into the stock or use the payment in some other way.

U.S. Global Investors Announces Renewal Of Buyback Program To Buy Up To $5M Of Common Stock

A wind of change is blowing through the financial industry as more people drift toward nonbank institutions for their borrowing needs.
In 1974, banks&nbsp;<a href="https://www.fdic.gov/analysis/quarterly-banking-profile/fdic-quarterly/2019-vol13-4/fdic-v13n4-3q2019-article1.pdf">controlled</a>&nbsp;the lending industry, holding 62% of the total loans. Almost five decades later, nonbanks&nbsp;<a href="https://www.wsj.com/articles/nonbank-lenders-are-dominating-the-mortgage-market-11624367460?mod=business_lead_pos6">issued</a>&nbsp;68% of all U.S. mortgages.&nbsp;
A report by the&nbsp;<a href="https://www.bis.org/publ/qtrpdf/r_qt2203c.htm#:~:text=Total%20new%20syndicated%20lending%20to,%2C%20left%2Dhand%20panel).">Bank for International Settlements (BIS)</a>&nbsp;indicated that syndicated lending to nonfinancial corporations increased substantially, from less than $300 billion in 1990 to around $4.75 trillion in 2019. Nonbank lending increased from $20 billion to $410 billion per year over the same period.
<h2>Specialty Financing</h2>
These nonbanks&rsquo; ability to meet the need for alternative or specialty financing may be what&rsquo;s driving their increase in lending.
Specialty finance firms make it easier for consumers and small to mid-size businesses to get loans they may find difficult to obtain from traditional banks.
They have easily won the hearts of some customers who were yearning to bypass long bureaucratic processes in favor of more straightforward procedures like completing loan applications and payments digitally with no initial fees and low-interest rates.
Thanks to this financing option, people who do not qualify for a traditional bank loan because of bad credit history are now turning to the alternative lending market for their capital needs.
In this context, companies like Oxford Square Capital Corp. (NASDAQ: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/oxsq#NASDAQ">OXSQ</a>), Mill City Ventures III Ltd. (NASDAQ: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/mcvt#NASDAQ">MCVT</a>), Manhattan Bridge Capital Inc. (NASDAQ: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/loan#NASDAQ">LOAN</a>), and U.S. Global Investors (NASDAQ: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/grow#NASDAQ">GROW</a>) have flourished over recent years.
<h2>Meeting Demand</h2>
As borrowers continue seeking alternative financing sources, <a href="https://www.millcityventures3.com/">Mill City Ventures III Ltd</a>, a short-term nonbank lending and specialty finance company could be answering this demand with its specialty financing solutions
Founded in January 2006,&nbsp;Mill City specialized in providing bespoke short-term lending solutions to public and private companies facing short-term liquidity issues.&nbsp;
Mill City ordinarily provides nonbank lending and specialty finance to companies and individuals with both collateral and a short-term source of liquidity anticipated to be available by the time the loan matures. The principal specialty finance solutions the company provides are high-interest, short-term lending arrangements.
The loans the company provides typically have maturities of nine months or less and involve a pledge of collateral or, in the case of loans made to companies, personal guarantees by the borrower&rsquo;s principals.
Since commencing short-term nonbank lending operations in January 2020, both the average loan size and weighted interest rate have increased year over year.

<h2>Financials</h2>
The company&rsquo;s product offerings could be positively affecting growth, as shown in Mill City&rsquo;s recent&nbsp;<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/pressreleases/22/08/ac28513935/mill-city-ventures-iii-ltd-reports-2022-second-quarter-financial-results">financial results</a>&nbsp;for the three- and six-month periods that ended June 30, which could be good news for investors.
