Opportunity Zone housing markets continue to keep up with broader price gains across nation in third quarter ATTOM has released its third-quarter 2023 report analyzing qualified lowincome Opportunity Zones targeted by Congress for economic redevelopment in the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act of 2017 (see full methodology below). In this report, ATTOM looked at 3,465 zones around the United States with sufficient data to analyze, meaning they had at least five home sales in the third quarter of 2023. The report found that median singlefamily home and condo prices rose from the second quarter of 2023 to the third quarter of 2023 in 54 percent of Opportunity Zones around the country and rose at least 5 percent in close to half. The price improvements in and around low-income neighborhoods where the federal government offers tax breaks to spur economic revival, again tracked closely with a nationwide rebound from a temporary dip in home values that hit last year. The renewed price growth also continued a long-term trend of home values inside Opportunity Zones following along with broader market gains for at least the last three years – an ongoing sign of economic strength inside some of the country’s most distressed communities. Opportunity Zone markets even showed signs again, by one key measure, of doing slightly better than other neighborhoods around the country during the third quarter of this year. A slightly larger

portion of Opportunity Zones versus other locations saw median values rise annually at a faster pace than they did nationwide. “The third-quarter price data shows that many of the country’s lower-income neighborhoods continue to come back from the brief downturn we saw last year, right along with the rest of the U.S. housing market. While there were exceptions, Opportunity Zones overall saw no extended backslide and continued to benefit from the boom that has spiked home values around the nation for more than a decade,” said Rob Barber, CEO for ATTOM. “That trend is likely connected to financially marginal house hunters getting priced out of more expensive locations and turning to places like Opportunity Zones for affordable homes. This should give investors looking to take advantage of Opportunity Zone tax breaks more welcome news about the potential for those neighborhoods.” Opportunity Zones are defined in the Tax Act legislation as census tracts in or alongside low-income neighborhoods that meet various criteria for redevelopment in all 50 states, the District of Columbia and U.S. territories. Census tracts, as defined by the U.S. Census Bureau, cover areas that have 1,200 to 8,000 residents, with an average of about 4,000 people. As they have historically, typical home values in most Opportunity Zones fell well below those in other neighborhoods

around the nation in the third quarter of 2023. Median third-quarter prices were less than the U.S. median of $350,000 in 81 percent of Opportunity Zones. That was about the same portion as in earlier periods over the past year. In addition, median prices fell below $200,000 in 49 percent of the zones during the third quarter of 2023. Considerable price volatility also continued in Opportunity Zones, with median values either dropping or increasing by at least 5 percent in more than three-quarters of those locations from the second quarter of 2023 to the third quarter of 2023. That again likely reflected the small number of sales in many zones. Still, the latest trends marked the second straight quarter in which Opportunity Zone home values, in general, erased losses seen during the downturn that lasted from the middle of 2022 into early 2023. That highlighted an extended scenario of home-price runups across the U.S. leaving a significant cluster of potential buyers with limited resources and few choices other than the lowestpriced communities. The apparently healthy demand in the third quarter continued even as home-mortgage rates climbed back up toward 8 percent for 30year fixed-rate loans over the Summer,

success in retail in south Charlotte over the course of the last 15 plus years and certainly wanted to stay close to our core customer base in the area. Strawberry Hill gives us that opportunity and affords us the ability to create a new store aesthetic while maintaining the connection to our customers.” With the new lease signings and negotiations underway, the new retail space added in 2019 will be completely occupied with the exception of one last restaurant space of 2,680 square feet.

Construction sector adds 23,000 jobs in October as unemployment rate falls to 4.0 percent The construction industry added 23,000 jobs in October as unemployment rates for the sector hovered near the all-time low for the month, according to an analysis of new government data the Associated General Contractors of America released today. Association officials said the construction industry would likely have hired even more workers to keep pace with strong demand for construction. “Despite the fact pay for hourly craft workers in construction is rising faster than for production employees, contractors are still struggling to find enough skilled workers,” said Ken Simonson, the association’s chief economist. “Both residential and nonresidential construction employers want to hire even more workers.”

Construction employment in October totaled 8,033,000, seasonally adjusted, an increase of 23,000 or 0.3 percent from September. The sector has added 219,000 jobs during the past 12 months, a gain of 2.8 percent. Residential building and specialty trade contractors added 13,700 employees in October and 55,600 (1.7 percent) over 12 months. Employment at nonresidential construction firms— nonresidential building and specialty trade contractors along with heavy and civil engineering construction firms— climbed by 8,400 positions for the month and 163,300 (3.6 percent) since October 2022. The unemployment rate among jobseekers with construction experience was 4.0 percent in October, one of the lowest October rates in the 24-

year history of the data. A separate government report released earlier this week reported that there were a record-high 438,000 job openings in construction at the end of September, far exceeding the number hired that month and a further sign of contractors’ difficulty in finding qualified workers. Average hourly earnings for production and nonsupervisory employees in construction—covering most onsite craft workers as well as many office workers— climbed by 5.4 percent over the year to $34.64 per hour. Construction firms in September provided a wage “premium” of nearly 19 percent compared to the average hourly earnings for all privatesector production employees. Association officials noted that efforts underway in Congress to exclude the

construction industry from the H-2B visa program would only add to the industry’s labor shortages and undermine its ability to complete infrastructure and economic development projects. They urged Congress to boost investments in career and technical education programs and ways to increase the number of visas available for people with construction skills. “Contractors are trying to keep pace with demand for new infrastructure, clean energy and development projects, among others,” said Stephen E. Sandherr, the association’s chief executive officer. “Limiting to who can work in construction will only undermine the sector’s ability to deliver projects on time and on budget.” Staff report

quarter of 2023 in 1,862 (54 percent) of the Opportunity Zones around the U.S. with sufficient data to analyze, while decreasing or staying the same in 46 percent. Medians also were up from the third quarter of 2022 to same period this year in 1,880 (58 percent) of those zones with sufficient data. (Among the 3,465 Opportunity Zones included in the report, all had enough data to generate usable median-price comparisons from the second quarter of 2023 to the third quarter of 2023; 3,258 had enough data to make comparisons between the third quarter of 2022 and the third quarter of 2023). • But in a sign that Opportunity Zones again did a bit better than the rest of the country, median prices grew quarterly and annually by at least 5 percent in a higher portion of those areas. Typical values went up at least 5 percent

quarterly in 44 percent of Opportunity Zones with enough data to analyze and annually in 49 percent. • In addition, typical price increases exceeded national gains annually in a slightly larger portion of Opportunity Zones than elsewhere. The median single-family home value rose, year over year, by more than the national figure in 47 percent of Opportunity Zones tracts but just 43 percent of tracts outside the zones. (The nationwide median rose 6.1 percent from the third quarter of 2022 to the third quarter of 2023.) • Of the 3,465 zones in the report, 1,124 (32 percent) had median prices in the third quarter of 2023 that were less than $150,000. That was down from 35 percent of those zones a year earlier. Another 564 zones (16 percent) had medians in the third quarter of this year ranging from $150,000 to $199,999.

• Median values in the third quarter of 2023 ranged from $200,000 to $299,999 in 827 Opportunity Zones (24 percent) while they topped the nationwide thirdquarter median of $350,000 in just 670 (19 percent). • The Midwest continued in the third quarter of 2023 to have larger portions of the lowest-priced Opportunity Zone tracts. Median home prices were less than $175,000 in 66 percent of zones in the Midwest, followed by the Northeast (47 percent), the South (41 percent) and the West (6 percent). • Median household incomes in 87 percent of Opportunity Zones analyzed were less than the medians in the counties where they were located. Median incomes were less than three-quarters of county level figures in 54 percent of those zones and less than half in 14 percent. Staff report

and inflation inched upward cutting into what buyers could afford. “Like most places with fewer resources, Opportunity Zones remain especially vulnerable to negative forces affecting the housing market or the broader economy, so we will continue to keep a close watch on prices in those locations,” Barber added. “But the ongoing tight supply of homes for sale combined with high home-buying demand around the country suggests that Opportunity Zones are in a good position to remain on pace with the broader national trends.”

High-level findings from the report:

Both Office Evolution and Venture X were recently awarded the 2023 Franchise Times Top 400 franchises for their commitment to serving their members and paving the way for the coworking industry. Over the last few years, the concept of the office has evolved significantly due to the changing work dynamics and employee preferences.

taken the extra step to ensure our staff is Disney Institute Certified in customer care to ensure our members feel at home.” According to SHRM, the foremost expert and thought leader on issues impacting today’s evolving workplaces, coworking spaces can help prevent employee loneliness and isolation. “Coworking spaces facilitate social connections, offer employees more flexibility to work in an environment that best suits their unique needs and preferences, and may offer employees a more convenient location for a shared workspace that reduces their commute time and cost,” said Caitlin Duffy, research director in the HR practice at Gartner. Office Evolution has met that demand and allows entrepreneurs and hybrid workers alike to find their perfect office fit. Members of Office Evolution benefit from being part of a nationwide network of coworking locations where they have access to 80 other Office Evolution locations in 26 states when traveling. “Having the option to work in a space with all the amenities of a traditional office that is also close to home is appealing to those who want a productive and professional environment,” said Jason Anderson, President of Vast Coworking Group. “The benefits of hybrid working are obvious to both employers and employees. Office Evolution and Venture X is proud to be able to offer professional spaces to entrepreneurs that are looking to get work done.” Staff report

U.S. foreclosure activity remains steady in October 2023

ATTOM has released its October 2023 U.S. Foreclosure Market Report, which shows there were a total of 34,472 U.S. properties with foreclosure filings — default notices, scheduled auctions or bank repossessions — down 6 percent from a month ago but up 6 percent from a year ago. “Foreclosure filings continue to paint a concerning picture,” said Rob Barber, CEO at ATTOM. “With foreclosure filings ranging from 31,557 in January 2023 to 34,472 in October 2023, it’s evident that challenges in the housing market persist. While we anticipate a likely decline in the coming months due to the holiday season and other seasonal patterns, we do foresee a continued uptick in 2024 as foreclosure filings make their way through the pipeline.”

Delaware, Ohio and New Jersey post highest foreclosure rates

Nationwide one in every 4,051 housing units had a foreclosure filing in October 2023.

MARGENAU: ‘60 Minutes’ and Social Security Overpayments The CBS news program “60 Minutes” ran a story this past Sunday that was critical of the Social Security Administration and the way the agency handles overpayments -money sent to Social Security beneficiaries that they were not due. I’m going to address that issue in today’s column. But before I do, I’ve got to put things in perspective. If you watched the news story, you could come away thinking something like this: “Those dumb bureaucrats. They can’t do anything right. They are sending millions of dollars in incorrect payments to people every year!” But here is the dose of perspective you need to understand. Social Security is a $1.3 trillion per year program. And those millions of dollars in overpayments make up just one-half of 1% of the program’s annual payout. Or to turn that around, 99.5 percent of the time, people are being paid correctly. So, overpayments are a problem. But nowhere near as big a problem as sensational news stories would have you believe. Still, millions of dollars are millions of dollars. And the Social Security overpayment problem is an issue that needs to be dealt with. Why do people get overpaid? The biggest reason has to do with a simple law that needs to be changed. More about that in a minute. But first, let’s briefly deal with the main issue discussed in the “60 Minutes” story. Once it’s been decided that someone has been overpaid, should the SSA take the money back? “60 Minutes” essentially charged that the agency was being too ruthless in its overpayment collection efforts. In a nutshell, one part of the overpayment recovery rules says the incorrect benefits must be repaid if the person who got the extra money was at fault in causing the overpayment. Most people probably would agree that part of the rules makes sense. But what if the overpayment was the agency’s fault? On the one hand, you could argue that even though the SSA made a mistake, the overpaid person still got money he or she was not due and the money should be repaid. But others would argue that the government screwed up and they should write off the overpayment as a loss. The rulebook actually says that even if the overpayment was the SSA’s fault, it must be repaid IF the overpaid person can afford to repay it. And carrying out that rule can really get messy and be subject to different interpretations.

And on that issue, let me make this point. Many years ago, the SSA interpreted that part of the law much more liberally and was writing off (“waiving” is the legal term) many overpayments. And guess what? There were news stories critical of the agency for “wasting the taxpayers’ money” by not more aggressively collecting overpayments. So, you can understand why an old civil servant like me might be inclined to throw up his hands and say: “OK, people, what do you want? Do you want us to collect these overpayments or do you want us to write them off?” But we wouldn’t have to answer that question if a big part of the problem could be eliminated. So how do we do that? By getting rid of the No. 1 cause of overpayments: a provision of Social Security law that is rather archaically called the “annual earnings test.” It is sometimes also called the “retirement test.” (More about where those terms come from in a minute.) But I call it the Social Security earnings penalty. And I’ve never liked this law. Before I explain why, let me clarify what I am talking about. The rules say that if you are a Social Security beneficiary who is under full retirement age and still working, one dollar must be deducted from your Social Security checks for each two dollars you earn over a limit that changes annually. It’s currently $21,240. (Once you reach your full retirement age, that penalty goes away.) On the surface, the law seems pretty straightforward and you may wonder why it causes so many overpayments. Well, it’s because when you scratch beneath the surface, it is an absolute mess to administer. To illustrate, I’ll use my own mother as an example. Back in the 1970s, she was getting Social Security retirement benefits but she was working part time to supplement her rather meager monthly check. She would start out the year reporting her anticipated earnings to her local Social Security office. They would adjust her benefits accordingly, applying the one-dollar deduction for each two dollars earned. Then inevitably, as the year went on, she’d work a little overtime or pick up a couple extra hours of work. She would dutifully report her change in anticipated earnings to the Social Security people, and further adjustments would be made to her monthly retirement checks. More often than not, she’d be charged with an overpayment and be asked to return

some of her Social Security funds. Then maybe she’d be laid off for a time, and her earnings would go down, and she’d file yet another report with SSA and there would be more adjustments to her benefits. Sometimes the SSA owed her some extra money. Eventually, once the year was over with and she got her W-2 form, she would make a final report of her earnings to the Social Security office leading to yet another benefit adjustment -- usually another overpayment. And on top of that, they would ask for an estimate of her anticipated earnings for the new year, yet more adjustments would be made, and the whole vicious cycle would start over again. Even though my mom’s story took place in the 1970s, the same rules still apply today and the same problems still crop up today with millions of Social Security beneficiaries who are under their full retirement age but working. I’ve always been puzzled by the earnings penalty law. From a philosophical perspective, I just don’t understand why someone should be punished if they try to work and earn a little money to supplement their Social Security benefits. Having voiced that philosophical concern, I should point out that I know the practicality of the law. It goes back to the very beginning of Social Security in the

1930s. Retirement benefits were intended to replace earnings a person loses when he or she retires. Or to put that another way, a person had to retire to get “retirement” benefits. And this provision of the law was a “test” of their retirement status. (Thus, the term “retirement test.”) Initially, the law said you had to be completely retired. But over the years, Congress eased up on that restrictive nature of the original law. They said people over FRA could work full time and get benefits. But they set up the messy earnings “penalty” for anyone under FRA. So, get rid of that penalty and you will get rid of millions of dollars in overpayments every year. If you have a Social Security question, Tom Margenau has two books with all the answers. One is called “Social Security -Simple and Smart: 10 Easy-to-Understand Fact Sheets That Will Answer All Your Questions About Social Security.” The other is “Social Security: 100 Myths and 100 Facts.” You can find the books at Amazon. com or other book outlets.

NCP Industries unveiled yesterday at the 2023 Deck Expo in Las Vegas its new eCO2LUXE line, made with CaptureCrete™, to transform exterior surfaces into powerful carbon capturing systems. The line’s inaugural product is the ADORN® Stone Premier Series,

an exterior stone profile, designed for aesthetics, that captures CO2 directly from the air and actively neutralizes its carbon footprint. “We are proud to have a licensing partnership with NCP Industries, a leading name in the concrete building materials industry, that is now offering some of the most innovative and sustainable products on the market to help beautify homes and spaces, while protecting our environment,” said Carbon Limit CEO Tim Sperry. President of NCP Industries Ryan Collison expressed his enthusiasm about this new initiative that showcases his company’s commitment to sustainability. “We are thrilled to collaborate with Carbon Limit and introduce environmentallyfriendly products like eCO2LUXE to the building materials industry,” he said. Every time CaptureCrete™ is used in concrete it generates carbon credits.

Carbon Limit’s forward credits are validated by Bureau Veritas under Covalent’s Certification Standard, and available for purchase on Carbon Limit’s website. Cement, a key ingredient for making concrete, accounts for more than 8 percent of the world’s carbon emissions. The Global Cement and Concrete Association, a trade association representing most of the industry’s major players outside of China, has pledged to reduce concrete’s carbon footprint by 25 percent by 2030 and reach net zero by 2050. “There is more interest than ever in finding a way to reduce CO2 emissions,” Sperry added. “Carbon Limit gives the concrete and cement industry the power to be a critical part of the sustainable construction revolution, and lead the way to climate resilience.” Staff report

GOLDMAN: Swipe Right for the Perfect Job It’s frustrating! The perfect job is out there. You just don’t know how to find it. On the positive side, you do know where to look. It’s the same place you went to find your perfect partner. And the perfect place to live. And the perfect outfit to wear in the perfect place to live with your perfect partner. (So, OK, the cargo pants were a mistake, but nobody’s perfect.) It’s the internet, of course. On the last day of September this year there were approximately 9.55 million jobs posted online. One of them has to be perfect for you. The problem is: How do you find the needle of a perfect job in a digital haystack? Tom Dowd can help. Dowd is a Career Development Officer and Director of Career Coaching at Guild. He is also the author of a recent article in Fast Company titled “4 Things Many Job Seekers Get Wrong About Finding (and Landing) the Right Role. Only four things? The man is clearly an optimist. With so many open positions, you need a code book to translate what an employer really wants -- not easy to do when it’s likely the employer doesn’t know itself. This brings us to those four pesky mistakes you don’t want to make before

swiping right on your perfect job. No. 1: Putting too much emphasis on job titles Don’t be intimidated just because a job comes with a lofty title, like Director of Something-or-Other or Vice President of Whatchamacallit. The actual job duties that go with those fancy-schmancy titles may well be in your wheelhouse. If you doubt me, ask our Chief Asset Disposal Officer when he’s back from emptying the garbage cans. To determine the actual work that will be expected, “try matching the action verbs in your resume with what their employees are doing -- executing, managing, implementing.” The action words you are looking for are dozing, disappointing and making excuses. Newfangled “new age” titles like Number Ninja and Senior Enthusiasm Director can help. Companies that use such titles are clearly out of their corporate gourds and you should grab that job for Chief Goofing-Off Officer before they go out of business, which will be soon. No. 2: Using the job description as a checklist Don’t be intimidated by job descriptions that list 15 or 20 required skills, none of which you have. These must-have requirements are an “employer’s wish list.” Sure, they would

like to have a PhD in Computer Science and Information Technology from MIT, but they could settle for a BA in Cheese Management from Babybel University. Also, don’t be discouraged when you see “apparent entry-level positions that require one to three years of prior experience to apply.” Experience means nothing. You’ve worked at your current job for years and still have no idea what you’re doing. No. 3: Create an experience-based resume Technology continues to accelerate change in the workplace, especially with the implementation of wonderful, powerful and totally harmless artificial intelligence. (Note: The previous sentence was written by Bobbot, the AI program that my “loyal readers” have demanded take over this column.) The velocity of change means you must demonstrate your willingness to join “an adaptable, nimble workplace that can roll with waves of change.” Highlight your “capacity to learn and grow” with 100% true statements of principle, like, “I will be Silly Putty In your hands. You can squeeze me and squish me to implement your dumb ideas and I will never complain,” and “Bend me. Twist me. Hiring me is like hiring Gumby.” No. 4: Not going after what you want

Be aggressive. Tom Dowd recommends that you “put on your detective hat. Do some searching on LinkedIn for profiles of people who already work in positions that intrigue you.” I recommend you put on your detective hat and your detective shoes, too. Once you’ve identified your targets, follow them on- and off-line. Bump into them at their favorite coffee shop. (Spilling your pumpkin spice latte on their laptop is a great way to “meet cute.”) Follow up with a coincidental meeting in their therapist’s waiting room. On Saturdays, drop in at their homes for brunch. Bring a suitcase, as you will probably be invited to stay for the week-end. With an on-line connection you could get a referral, but with an off-line, reallife connection you could get something even more valuable -- a restraining order. Exactly how that will help you get the perfect job, I have no idea. Maybe you should ask Bobbot. Bob Goldman was an advertising executive at a Fortune 500 company.

Top Artificial Intelligence Investments You Can Find for Under $10 EMILY BASIL WEALTH OF GEEKS According to a study from PriceWaterhouseCoopers, AI technology is poised to increase the global economy by $15.7 trillion by 2030. The Artificial Intelligence (AI) stocks market is growing exponentially. The allure of affordable equities under $10 has steadily increased in a market characterized by both bull and bear runs. In such a market, investors often look for undervalued stocks with attractive earnings per share figures. For those seeking small-cap gems with good growth potential, lowpriced equities offer an opportunity for investors with diverse risk tolerances and trading strategies. Often small companies dealing in commodities, biotech, and other industries, all with a price tag under $10, fly under the radar, but can yield substantial returns. In a volatile market, the appeal of AI stocks trading at a relative discount to their sector peers cannot be overstated. Here are our picks for the best affordable AI stocks under $10. Rekor Systems Rekor Systems is one of the best stocks for those looking for potential value stocks. The company is a prominent player in the AI-driven edge computing and machine learning solutions sector. It’s positioned itself as a key player in security and surveillance. The stock market is bullish about this penny stock since, despite market volatility, the company has gained about 193% since the past year. Its second-quarter results for the year were also noteworthy, highlighting growth in revenues, overall performance obligations, and recurring revenue, as well as total contract value. FiscalNote FiscalNote is a leading AI-powered platform that provides real-time government risk and regulatory intelligence. The company offers businesses and organizations insights into policy changes and regulatory developments that could impact their operations. The stock is undervalued, having lost about 68% since the beginning of the year and now has a market capitalization of $265.44 million. However, the news of its recently introduced FiscalNote Risk Connector Product expansion is promising and may help it to rebound. It could be an excellent buy for traders who want to invest in small-cap stocks capable of delivering big returns in the future. Nerdy Nerdy is an emerging player in the AI-powered education technology sector. The company provides personalized and adaptive learning experiences for students of all ages using AI and data analytics. Nerdy’s value has risen nearly 60% over the past year, becoming one of the most attractive penny stocks to beat the current market. It has already established itself as a critical facilitator of remote education, particularly during the pandemic. The company is committed to enhancing learning outcomes through technologydriven solutions and has proven it can outperform the market.

Himax Tech Himax Technologies is a semiconductor solution provider that has successfully integrated AI technologies into its product portfolio. Although it lost about 8% since the beginning of 2023, the stock currently sells at about 15 times its earnings, which is good for the global market. Moreover, the company is also suitable for dividend investors with a dividend yield of 8.25% and a payout ratio of more than 90%. It offers excellent opportunities to traders looking to capitalize on this sector. AudioEye AudioEye specializes in digital accessibility solutions powered by AI. Through its innovative platform, the company allows businesses to create digital content accessible to individuals with disabilities, ensuring compliance with accessibility standards and regulations. Its platform provides various accessibility tools, including alternative text, closed captioning, content organization, keyboard input, subtitling, and warnings. The company’s latest financials aligned with the market’s expectations, although the earnings per share (EPS) came at a loss of 2 cents per share. The stock has good growth potential in the near future with its solid work pipeline helping it capitalize on new accessibility rules from the federal government. Lantronix Lantronix offers secure data access and management solutions for Internet of Things (IoT) and AI applications. The company facilitates data transmission and management, enabling businesses to use AI in their operations through its portfolio of connectivity and networking products. The company’s offerings benefit the industrial automation and healthcare industries, as well as transportation. The stock has been volatile recently, but it can be a great

buy. It has an expected revenue and earnings growth rate of 32.5% and 94%, respectively, through June 2024, which could drive the stock’s price higher. Bigbear.AI BigBear.AI provides advanced analytics and artificial intelligence solutions, primarily to the defense and national security sectors. The company enables government agencies and organizations to enhance their situational awareness and operational efficiency through actionable insights and data-driven decision-making tools. Since its debut on NASDAQ, the stock’s price has fallen from more than $9 per share to less than $2. However, its latest financials showed significant improvement, which bodes well for future business. Considering its solid customer base and considerable work backlog, the market believes the company is positioned to be a leader in AI-driven data analytics. Lantern Pharma Lantern Pharma is a biotechnology company that utilizes AI and machine learning to develop precision oncology products and treatments. The company intends to accelerate the development of personalized cancer therapies by leveraging advanced data analytics, improving patient outcomes and reducing drug development timelines. The company uses AI to identify biomarkers and predict treatment responses to develop targeted and efficient cancer treatments. Lantern received clearance from the U.S. Food and Drug Administration to bring its LP-184 candidate into Phase 1 clinical trials to test its effectiveness against advanced solid tumors and brain cancers. The company also presented data highlighting the antitumor potency of its LP-284 candidate, which targets non-Hodgkin’s lymphomas.

SoundHound SoundHound is a pioneering music recognition and voice-enabled AI technology company famous for its advanced sound recognition capabilities. The platform allows users to discover music and interact with various applications using voice commands. It also presents voice-enabled AI interfaces for businesses and organizations. The market believes SoundHound has room for continued growth as its automaker client list needs to be completed, and its foray into food service and general retail stores has only just begun. SES AI SES AI Corporation is engaged in developing and producing highperformance Lithium-metal rechargeable batteries for electric vehicles (EV), electric vehicle take-off and landing, and other applications. The company is a global leader in this segment. SES AI announced that they will be expanding into Urban Air Mobility (UAM) and drone applications, which, in addition to EVs, are ideal end-markets for their high energy and power density Li-Metal battery. These two sectors represent the company’s early commercialization opportunities and could support its cash flows in the future. In a volatile market, it’s essential for investors to have a diversified portfolio. These small-cap stocks have the potential to outperform their larger counterparts, particularly in a bullish environment. The resilience of these small-cap equities is a testament to their strength. Warren Buffett once advised that it’s wise to be fearful when others are greedy and greedy when others are fearful. These undervalued AI stocks may be a good opportunity to act on his words.
