The win marks Castellum’s first full and open prime contract without small-business set-aside restrictions, signaling the company’s successful evolution into a larger-scale defense player. Chief Operating Officer Drew Merriman praised the effort as proof that “our targeted strategy to focus on full and open opportunities… is working.”

In the fast-evolving AI automation landscape, Totaligent (OTCID:TGNT) is making waves ahead of its commercial debut of a GPU-accelerated omni-channel marketing platform built on NVIDIA (NASDAQ:NVDA) technology.

The system aims to merge programmatic advertising, social media, email, SMS, and push notifications into one intelligent interface, a potential game-changer in enterprise marketing automation. CEO Ted DeFeudis called it a platform that “eliminates fragmentation” and is “rewriting keyword-based ad models in real time.”

With the AI-driven marketing automation sector projected to surpass $40 billion by 2030, Totaligent’s NVIDIA-backed infrastructure could position it as an early mover in intelligent digital engagement.

Butterfly Network (NYSE:BFLY) reported Q3 2025 revenue of $21.5 million, up 5% year-over-year, while achieving a record low cash burn of $3.9 million, a milestone for the digital health innovator.

CEO Joseph DeVivo described the quarter as “foundational progress,” emphasizing Butterfly’s long-term vision to “change how ultrasound is delivered and scaled.”

Recent highlights include FDA clearance for HeartFocus by DESKi, the first third-party app on the Butterfly Garden platform, and the launch of an AI-powered Gestational Age Calculator in Africa, developed with the Gates Foundation.

FTAI Infrastructure (NASDAQ:FIP) posted $70.9 million in adjusted EBITDA for Q3 2025, a 54% jump from the prior quarter, driven by operational tailwinds and its recent acquisition of the Wheeling & Lake Erie Railway.

Despite a net loss of $118 million due to one-time charges, the board declared a $0.03 quarterly dividend, reinforcing shareholder returns.

In one of the morning’s biggest surprises, AMTD Digital (NYSE:HKD) announced a 1,085.9% year-over-year revenue increase, climbing from $6.2 million to $73.2 million for the half-year ended April 30, 2025.

The gains reflect the full integration of The Generation Essentials Group (NYSE:TGE), including L’Officiel and The Art Newspaper, boosting AMTD’s media, fashion, and hospitality footprint. CFO Xavier Zee credited the “team’s dedication and innovative approach” for driving the transformation.

Total assets reached $899.1 million, and profit rose 49.5% to $51.5 million, underscoring the group’s evolution into a diversified media and luxury platform.

Beneficient (NASDAQ:BENF) shares may find renewed investor confidence after the firm announced it had regained compliance with Nasdaq’s periodic reporting and $35 million market value requirements.
