Here are three 5X potential stocks that show the capability for development and breakthroughs in strategy. The first one is a cannabis-focused real estate investment trust (REIT) in good financial health. This expansion highlights the business’s skilled management and capacity to improve operating cash flow, both of which are essential for maintaining and increasing dividends.
Meanwhile, with a huge Net Revenue Retention Rate (NRR) and Gross Revenue Retention Rate (GRR), the second platform, a customer communication tool, has outstanding client retention rates. These indicators highlight its dependability and value offer, which promote steadfast revenue development and strong client loyalty. Furthermore, the company’s healthy cash position and optimistic cash flow forecasts show sound operational stability and financial management.
Finally, the third is a leader in cutting-edge water management technology, taking major steps toward mineral extraction from generated water and desalination. The company’s completion of pilot projects and alliances with significant companies in the industry position it for increased market standing and various income sources.
Overall, these 5X potential stocks have multifold growth potential backed by solid fundamentals.
NewLake Capital Partners (NLCP)
With a 10.6% rise over the $9.9 million reported in Q1 2023, NewLake Capital Partners (OTCMKTS:NLCP) posted an AFFO of $11 million in Q1 2024. This steady growth trajectory shows the business can improve its operational edge and manage well despite industry constraints. A variety of retail and cultivation assets with cost bases far lower than current replacement costs are included in the company’s portfolio.
Moreover, the cost basis of retail premises is $389 per square foot, whereas the cost basis of agriculture assets is $252 per square foot. Hence, this strategic purchase technique ensures high asset quality and appreciation potential.
Further, one example of NewLake Capital’s strength is its handling of dividend payments. Following a similar rise in the Q4 2023, the firm boosted its quarterly dividend to $0.41 per share, which will be $1.64 per share on an annual basis. A strict compensation policy and solid profits are supporting these hikes. Thus, the recent dividend increase offers investors a substantial yield and enticing profits.
Finally, with a dividend payment ratio of 79% in the first quarter of 2024, the firm has enough money to reward shareholders and reinvest in growth prospects.
Weave (WEAV)
High client retention rates at Weave (NYSE:WEAV) attest to the worth and dependability of its platform. The net NRR rose from 95% in the previous quarter to 96% in Q1 2024, demonstrating high client loyalty and successfully upselling Weave’s goods and services.
Over time, the platform’s remarkable 92% GRR indicates its ability to retain users. Maintaining stable market conditions and steady revenue growth depends heavily on these high retention rates. One of Weave’s key advantages is its effective cooperative approach. Weave’s market reach has further increased due to its merger with Athenahealth. Hence, this provides services to over 110 million patients and a large network of 160K clinicians.
As of March 31, 2024, Weave had $82.3 million in cash plus short-term investments, which supports the company’s strong liquidity position. The business expects a positive impact on Q2 free cash flow of around $15 million. There is a brief fluctuation in Q1 free cash flow caused by the installation of a new billing system and the timing of employee incentive distributions. Lastly, its anticipated return to positive free cash flow is a testament to Weave’s solid operational stability and sound financial management.
Aris Water (ARIS)
Aris Water (NYSE:ARIS) is at the forefront of developing technology for the desalination, purification and extraction of minerals from water. By the end of Q3 2024, our desalination pilot projects, in collaboration with vital partners including ConocoPhillips (NYSE:COP), Chevron (NYSE:CVX) and ExxonMobil (NYSE:XOM), will be completed. These projects aim to meet the growing industrial, agricultural and aquifer replenishment demand. The potential profitability of these desalination pilot projects, as strategic investments in sustainable technology, is exciting for us and our investors.
Moreover, with a leverage ratio of 2.15x — below the long-term goal range — Aris keeps up a robust balance sheet. With $345 million in cash assets, the corporation has considerable financial flexibility to fund expansion plans and capital returns. Aris anticipates steady margins and continuous future expansion in generated water quantities.
Finally, for Q2 2024, the business estimates producing water volumes between 1.015 and 1.045 million barrels per day and water solution quantities between 400,000 and 430,000 barrels per day. Adjusted EBITDA is anticipated to range from $44 million to $48 million, indicating a consistent operational lead.
