3 penny stocks I'd tell my broke friend about.
It is good practice to think through and write about stocks you are watching. This is that. Let me know what yall think or what you are watching and why.
Quarterhill $QTRHF $QTRH.TO
Canadian company that essentially operates in the intelligent transportation space, so things like electronic tolling systems and commercial vehicle enforcement. C$200M market cap.
The business has been turning around for a few quarters now. Revenue up 14% in Q1, gross margin went from 12% to 28% year over year, three straight quarters of positive adjusted EBITDA after a long stretch of losses.
Then just yesterday they announced they're acquiring Conduent's tolling business for $70M. That deal is expected to roughly triple their tolling revenue and creates a combined backlog of around $2B. Pro forma annual revenue north of $400M.
Stock was at C$1.72 yesterday morning and ran up roughly 40% on the news.
Backlog was already $428M heading into this and insider was buying as recently as May.
The risk is the deal still needs to close, targeting Q4 2026, and a lot of the good news is now priced into today's move. But the underlying business was already improving before any of this.
I don't hold a position but have been following it closely
Kingfisher Metals $KGFMF $KFR.V
Copper-gold explorer in BC's golden triangle. $180M CAD market cap. Fully funded heading into what could be a pretty big summer.
Last year they drilled a hole at a target called Hank and hit 425 metres of continuous copper-gold mineralization starting over 500 metres underground. The hole ended in improving grades, meaning they likely didn't reach the best part yet. That's the whole setup, they found something, and now they're going back for it.
To put the size in context, the altered rock footprint at Hank covers roughly 6 by 6 km at surface. Big systems leave big footprints. Five separate geophysical surveys since then have all pointed to the same core target area.
They closed a $30M financing in march with no warrants, which tells you there was real demand. Two drills are on site right now extending that original hole and testing new targets. A third rig arrives today, july 1st. 15,000 metres planned this summer.
At this point the stock has run up pretty good and a lot of that is just anticipation for what this program delivers. That brings real risk, you're essentially buying before seeing the results. But the signals heading into it are hard to ignore.
I wrote a full article on KFR a few months back when it was sitting at $0.79. I hold a position and I'm looking forward to seeing results.
DMG Blockchain Solutions $DMGGF $DMGI.V
Been paying close attention to bitcoin miners pivoting to AI hosting and this one has essentially doubled since the start of June.
The company is converting its Christina Lake, BC facility, originally built to mine bitcoin, into an AI data center. Locked in 75MW of electricity capacity at the site back in March, which is the hard part most of these companies are still fighting for.
June 1st they signed a letter of intent to rent 50MW of that capacity to a single AI tenant over a 12 year term. Then three days ago they signed the first actual contract, worth roughly $670K over 2 years.
Trading around 1.5x book value right now.
I took a trade on this one from $0.45 and dipped out around $0.65. Watching how this correction plays out and would be willing to add if I see some high volume or strength come back in.
Now please do keep this part in mind. That 50MW deal is still just a non-binding LOI with an anonymous tenant. That is basically the whole stock right now. Until that converts into a signed contract with a named customer, you are essentially betting on a company that has locked up power and found someone interested. Interested is not committed.
Please do not take this as financial advice and just do your own research, cheers
