Hello Everyone,
We have been profiling some extremely active companies as of late.
Our profiles have seen some volatility and produced some opportunities to look at these companies that have taken some significant swings.
We have another one to look at that is no stranger to big double digit swings.
Pull up GWAV Immediately.
The Company's recycling facilities collect, classify, and process raw scrap metal (ferrous and nonferrous) and implement several unique technologies to increase metal processing volumes and operating efficiencies, including a downstream recovery system and cloud-based ERP system.
Steel is one of the world's most recycled products with the ability to be re-melted and re-cast numerous times. Recycling steel provides key environmental benefits over virgin metals, including reduced energy use, lower CO2 emissions, lower waste, and conserving natural resources. Greenwave's customers include large corporations, industrial manufacturers, retail customers, and government organizations.
U.S. Steel Turns Down $7.3Bn Offer From Cleveland-Cliffs, Explores Alternatives – Potential Upside For Greenwave Technology Solutions, Inc. (Nasdaq: GWAV)?
Major developments in the steel industry are reshaping the landscape for key players. U.S. Steel, a significant player in the industry, has recently declined a substantial $7.3Bn acquisition offer from Cleveland-Cliffs and is now contemplating competitive proposals from Esmark Inc.
To add to the intrigue, there are rumors of ArcelorMittal SA considering entering the bid for this major steel manufacturer.
Amid this potential industry consolidation, GWAV emerges as a proactive contender, gearing up for an aggressive expansion strategy to meet the escalating demands of leading U.S. steel mills.
GWAV: Paving the Way for Growth in Metal Recycling
GWAV holds a prominent position as an operator of metal recycling facilities across Ohio, Virginia and North Carolina. Their core operations involve the collection, categorization, and processing of raw scrap metal, primarily to supply major steel mills and foundries. What sets Greenwave apart is its relentless pursuit of expansion and infrastructure enhancement, positioning itself as a key player during a potentially transformative phase in the steel industry.
Future Growth Anticipated
GWAV is accelerating its progress toward these goals with the impending launch of a second automotive shredder at its Carrollton facility. This addition will effectively double the metal recycler’s capacity to process ferrous metal. The decision to shred ferrous metal rather than selling it in its unshredded form positions the company to command higher prices, generating an estimated 33% increase in additional revenue compared to unshredded ferrous metal.
In April, GWAV expanded its footprint with the opening of a new facility in Cleveland. Even though it has not yet reached its full volume potential, this location is already generating approximately $100,000 per month in revenue. As operations further ramp up, particularly with the commencement of a shear baler this month, the Cleveland facility is poised to generate $250k or more per month in revenue by next year.
As U.S. Steel explores alternative pathways in a potentially consolidating steel industry, GWAV stands out as a company actively positioning itself to seize new growth opp’s and strengthen its foothold in the ever-evolving world of metal recycling.
Greenwave’s Scrap App
Greenwave recently announced that its wholly-owned subsidiary, Scrap App, launched new AI-powered features to optimize pricing and sales. In a recent press release, Greenwave stated that the company anticipates Scrap App's planned national expansion, coupled with its AI strategy, will accelerate growth.
Greenwave Chairman and CEO Danny Meeks stated "We plan to expand Scrap App to multiple new markets across the United States in the coming weeks. As a technology platform, Scrap App has the ability to scale to new markets with minimal capital investment – we do not have to open a new facility, purchase additional equipment, or significantly expand overhead when we enter a new city. We believe Scrap App has the potential to generate significant, high-margin revenue and create value for Greenwave shareholders."
