$CHRW shareholders not buying. Incredible amount of uncertainty in brokerage and how that will look in a few years from litigation impacts on costs (insurance and liability) and AI on margins/take rates. It is a phenomenal deal for $QXO shareholders as they get to exit at cyclical high pricing into incredible uncertainty. (why CHRW down) Also in your multiple assessment above, you need to consider a whole bunch more factors than putting a multiple on a several year out synergy target number (1 chew trading under 20x forward 27' numbers), Ch share count will increase 16%+ (for accretion/dilution scenerios), debt costs will significantly increase (that is stripped out of there) as well as all the severance and integration costs they will incur in the next few years. This deal is quite risky in my opinion. I Also as someone in your shoes knows covering the industry for years, the history of Brokerage acquisitions paying off is quite poor (just see QXO's Coyote acquisition a few years ago)

The CEO of Nubeva Technologies $NBVAF (TSXV: $NBVA) owns 25.4% of the shares, and a 12% holder keeps buying more. Investing in Nubeva largely means trusting Randy Chou. He’s been CEO since the 2018 listing and sits on the board. Per the company’s site, he built SSL (web encryption) security at Alteon WebSystems, which Nortel bought for $7.8B in 2000. He then joined the founding team at Aruba Networks, a Wi-Fi company started in 2002 that HP $HPQ bought for $3.0B in 2015. In 2008, he co-founded Panzura, a cloud storage company that private equity firm Profile Capital Management bought in May 2020 for $225M, per Nubeva’s July 2023 investor deck. Granted, Panzura replaced him as CEO with Patrick Harr in May 2016, a month after Nubeva was incorporated, and the sale came four years later under Harr. Regardless, every company Chou helped build before Nubeva ended in a sale, and a partnership or sale is Nubeva’s own fallback if AI doesn’t fix its costs. Canadian insiders report their trades on SEDI, and Nubeva’s file since January 2024 has one active buyer. Clayton Davis, an Edmonton-based individual investor, crossed 10% on September 8, 2025 with 7,038,268 shares (10.03%), per the Form 62-103F1 he filed a year later, on September 10, 2026 (the disclosure Canada requires from anyone who crosses 10%). He then made 96 open-market purchases on 46 trading days through September 4, 2026, buying 1,755,797 shares for ~CAD$306K at CAD$0.09-0.26. Net of four small sales totaling 134,500 shares, he now holds 8,659,565 shares (12.34%). Davis’s latest purchase, on September 4, came a week after Nubeva filed its FY2026 results. In other words, he kept buying after seeing the full-year numbers. Chou hasn’t bought or sold in the open market over the same period, and Nubeva’s annual meeting filings list the same 17,797,741 shares for him in 2024, 2025, and 2026. In April 2024, Chou moved 3,630,000 of those shares into a donor-advised fund he still controls, and in a February 26, 2026 interview on Nubeva’s YouTube channel, he said he’d have to pre-announce any sale by the fund.

Q2 2026 was the first quarter of positive FCF at Magna Mining $MGMNF (TSX: $NICU), but only because cash from March sales arrived in April. The quarter set Magna-era records for revenue and cash margin: → Revenue: US$21.5M, after the precious metals stream and higher smelting and refining charges. → Cash margin: Record US$6.4M, or US$1.41/payable lb, up from US$4.3M in Q1. → Operating cash flow: US$6.4M, including US$4.8M of March sales paid in April. → Free cash flow: US$3.7M, even though operating cash flow absorbed US$3.8M of exploration and evaluation spending, mostly at Levack, Magna’s flagship restart project. Adjusted for the US$4.8M of March sales paid in April, Q2 FCF was an outflow of ~US$1.2M, and H1 2026 as a whole was a US$10.5M outflow. At the mine level, McCreedy West (Magna’s producing mine) generated a US$10.8M cash margin in H1 2026, covering its US$3.6M of sustaining capital almost three times over. But Levack, corporate costs, interest, and working capital kept the company as a whole cash-negative. As of June 30, 2026, Magna held US$28.2M of cash. With net proceeds from Alpayana, the Peruvian mining group that bought 19.9% in August, the September deck puts cash at ~US$124M. Magna’s only debt is US$16.9M of unsecured 10% convertible notes due March 5, 2029, a third of which Dundee Corporation $DDEJF, a Toronto investment company, bought. They convert at CAD$2.00/share into 11.98M shares, or 3.8% of the current share count. Magna has funded itself mostly with equity, so the share count rose from 163.4M at the end of 2023 to 313.35M after Alpayana, up 91.8%. Options and share units add more. At June 30, Magna had 12.35M options at a weighted average exercise price of CAD$1.21 and 1.73M restricted and deferred share units. At CAD$2.45, 9.64M of the options are in the money, and exercising them would give Magna ~US$5.1M of cash. Counting the in-the-money options, the share units, and the notes, the diluted count is 336.70M (313.35M + 9.64M + 1.73M + 11.98M).
