Now that's a hot start to the week. AM Alert: (GNUS) Could Stun Today On This Week's Huge News (+ 5 Potential Breakout Catalysts) June 14th Dear Reader, Now that's a hot start to the week. With the temperature heating up outside, Monday's alert decided to heat up on the charts. Surging $1.00+ from an opening valuation of $3.17 to a high of $4.45, my first idea this week caught the market's attention. Putting together an intraday run of approx. 40%, we identified a Nasdaq profile on the cusp of a potential breakout. And guess what, here comes another... In this fully detailed report, you'll find key insights into a company flying below Wall Street's radar. For how long? That's always the big question. Right now, I wanted to highlight a few potential catalysts that could provide this profile with breakout spark. First off, a huge revenue increase. Recently announcing their [2022 total revenue]( increased a mind-blowing amount, this company recently shared their Q1 revenue just exploded over 500% increase compared to the same time period the previous year.

Finally, strategic acquisitions and valuable partnerships are positioning the company for further growth and market penetration that could eventually transform them into a household name.
