What it does: Cellebrite is a software-as-a-service enterprise specialising in digital forensics and encrypted information extraction.
By Zaven Boyrazian. On the earth of legislation enforcement and cybersecurity, digital proof has change into a essential. In reality, an estimated 90% of reported crime as we speak has some type of digital factor. And with most legal units being locked or encrypted, demand for Cellebrite’s (NASDAQ:CLBT) C2C platform has surged.

Devon Power
What it does: Devon Power is an oil and gasoline producer within the U.S. with a diversified multi-basin portfolio, together with within the Delaware Basin.
By Andrew Mackie. I’ve been searching for a possibility to enter the pure-play exploration house for a while. With the latest tariff-induced sell-off I took the chance to purchase my favoured decide Devon Power (NYSE: DVN).
In contrast to oil majors similar to BP and Shell, earnings come purely from oil and gasoline manufacturing. The corporate is successfully a leveraged play on such costs. Unsurprisingly, as costs have fallen for a while, so too because the share value. Nevertheless, I stay extraordinarily bullish on costs over the following decade plus.
Within the brief to medium time period, I count on pure gasoline demand to rise considerably off the again of knowledge centre progress. The latest conversion of a decommissioned coal-fired to pure gasoline energy plant in Homer, Pennsylvania, offers a great illustration of demand progress. In contrast to nuclear, gasoline fired energy stations can come on-line in a short time.
Ought to the US enter a recession in 2025, then oil costs will undoubtedly fall much more, impacting Devon’s profitability. Nevertheless, with globalisation unwinding, defence spending rising and the US boosting home manufacturing, I count on hydrocarbon demand to stay buoyant effectively into the longer term.

Nu Holdings
What it does: Nu Holdings owns Nubank, which is Latin America’s largest digital financial institution.
By Ben McPoland. I lately added to my place in Nu Holdings (NYSE: NU). The Brazil-based digital financial institution ended the primary quarter with practically 119m clients, 19% greater than the 12 months earlier than.
Extremely, 59% of Brazil’s grownup inhabitants at the moment are clients, whereas sturdy progress continued in Mexico (12% of the grownup inhabitants) and Colombia (8%). Quarterly income jumped 40% to $3.2bn on a currency-neutral foundation, whereas adjusted web revenue rose 37% to $606.5m.
There have been some adverse forex swings within the quarter, which might proceed. Additionally, the financial institution’s risk-adjusted web curiosity margin fell to eight.2%, down from 9.5%. This was largely resulting from aggressive growth in Mexico and Colombia, which includes providing increased deposit charges to draw customers. So the quarter wasn’t completely flawless.
However, I’m very impressed with the way in which Nu continues to develop at scale. The neobank is barely scratching the floor with regards to monetising its huge – and rising – base of consumers.
The inventory isn’t low cost, however the firm seems to have a protracted runway of progress forward of it, with giant swathes of Latin America nonetheless both unbanked or underbanked.

RWE
What it does: RWE AG is a number one German power firm targeted on renewables, energy era, and buying and selling.
By Mark Hartley. I lately invested in RWE (FRA: RWE) resulting from its sturdy monetary efficiency and strategic plans for 2025. Final 12 months, it reported an adjusted EBITDA of €5.7bn and adjusted web revenue of €2.3bn, surpassing expectations. The power provider additionally introduced a €1.5bn share buyback program, reflecting a dedication to shareholder returns.
Nevertheless, it faces some uncertainties within the US offshore wind market following revised insurance policies that would have an effect on renewable power. Because of this, it lately lowered its five-year funding outlook by €10bn, indicating warning amid these market challenges. This might influence future progress and returns, so I hope the US sees the benefits in renewables and reconsiders its insurance policies.
Regardless of these dangers, I stay optimistic about RWE’s concentrate on renewables and look ahead to seeing it drive innovation within the sector. It additionally has a good 3.42% yield and a P/E ratio of 4.65.
