Global Intel Hub — New York, NY– Newsmax spiked more than 700% on it’s first day of trading.  Will that hold through time during lock up expiration and private placement shareholders being able to sell, only time will tell.  However, the first day is always a positive sign for IPOs.  Some recent IPOs have done worse than expected.

Could this be a sign of positive things to come for Private Markets?

Newsmax represents a new disruptive company that has battled the mainstream media.  It’s not surprising that the stock is doing well, considering ratings for the mainstream cable networks is down near all time lows.  Markets are seeing disruption across the board, and aside from turbulence here and there are being well rewarded for that.

Newsmax retained DealMaker Securities LLC and R.F. Lafferty & Co Inc. to participate in this Offering as soliciting dealers.  R.F. Lafferty & Co Inc. has been around since 1946 and is well known on Wall St. and for Micro-Cap IPOs.  The Newsmax success will no doubt bring fresh positive vibes to IPO markets and private markets alike.

Congratulations to Newsmax for building a successful business and to the shareholders who believed in the vision.  Let’s build on this positive momentum for a great 2025!
