“Thought leadership should be an entry point to a relationship. Thought leadership should intrigue, challenge, and inspire even people already familiar with a company. It should help start a relationship where none exists, and it should enhance existing relationships.” -Daniel Rasmus

Sophic Capital client Clear Blue Technologies Inc. provides clean, wireless power for mission critical off-grid infrastructure. Clear Blue’s ability to automate and digitize day-to-day operations while collecting data collected is competitive advantage. With over 400 customers, including Orange and Telefonica, it’s Clear Blue sky for the Company. Any electrical system that doesn’t have access to the power grid is subject to sub-par performance, potentially resulting in increased lifetime costs and premature obsolescence. Renewable energy sources are the way to remove operational and maintenance costs for off-grid projects while improving reliability and reducing greenhouse gas emissions. Sophic Capital client Clear Blue Technologies is a provider of clean, wireless power solutions serving the multi-billion dollar off-grid market. Industry valuations of solar projects under development suggest that UGE International’s current 83.7MW project backlog is undervalued. UGE’s goal of 120MW of project backlog by the end of 2021 makes the Company’s current undervaluation even more compelling. Applying peer transactions to UGE’s 357MW (net of backlog) pipeline potentially puts the stock in future multi-bagger territory. Since his days at gaming company Electronic Arts (NASDAQ:EA), Thomas Rosander has thought about the massive opportunity from combining the large, growing esports audience with betting. Now, as Real Luck Group’s new CEO, he has the opportunity and the tools to execute upon his vision, implementing a proven strategy he used at prior companies to grow players and revenues via a nuanced and data-driven marketing approach. Following the initial business disruptions and lockdowns in 2020 due to the COVID-19 pandemic, home construction and renovations thrived. Sophic Capital client Renoworks Software (TSXV:RW, OTC:ROWKF) followed along, with 2020 revenues growing 20+% year-over-year. Home renovations have boomed during the pandemic. That doesn’t mean homeowners haven’t felt the stress and disappointments that come with renovations. Renoworks digital visualization software simplifies the home renovation value chain and gives homeowners their “soles” back. Commercial real estate owners have excessive operating costs and unplanned capital expenditures due to power grid instability. The combination of electrification and renewable energy are going to compound grid instability and increase these excessive costs. Plus governments have implemented carbon emission reduction targets that commercial property owners will have to abide by. Legend Power Systems has the solutions to quantify and reduce these excessive costs. After strong shareholder returns in 2020, 2021 could be another strong year for UGE International, a developer and operator of community solar projects (mostly in the U.S.). Why? Compared to solar project peer transactions, the market is undervaluing UGE shares. Plus, almost C$7 million was added to UGE’s balance sheet this week, in an oversubscribed offering.
