Zomedica, Another Hot Name In Pet Care
Zomedica Pharmaceuticals Corp (NYSE:ZOM) is a development-stage diagnostic and pharmaceutical company with a focus on pets. That may seem odd but the pet care industry is worth upwards of $100 billion annually in the U.S. alone and growing at a mid-to-high-single-digit CAGR. Names like Chewy (NYSE:CHWY) and Freshpet (NASDAQ:FRPT) have seen their growth go off the charts and we expect the same for this company.

Meten EdTech Education Group Ltd, A Value Play On China
Meten Edtechx Education (NASDAQ:METX) is a Chinese-based education company specializing in English-language programs for business and industry. The stock, along with most others in the broader education group, has been trading near a post-COVID low in recent months but might be putting in a bottom. The recent price action suggests that a reversal is in play and the fundamental story matches up with that outlook. A recent uptick in billings and enrollment to the tune of 238% and 192% is the reason. The uptick suggests not only is the Chinese economy coming back but demand for English suggests optimism for renewed trade with the U.S. now that a China-friendly administration is in place. Regardless, with enrollment and billings on the rise the outlook for revenue growth and positive EBITDA is vastly improved.
