*Click Here To Get Our Alerts Faster Via SMS*
December 10th
Dear Reader,
Pineapple Financial Inc. (NYSE American: PAPL) has our full focus this morning while moving green early Wednesday.
Why is this green move happening? Could it be because of this major announcement? Check this out:
Pineapple Financial Launches Mortgage Tokenization Platform for Its $13.7Bn Portfolio, Bringing Real-World Mortgage Data On-Chain
Commences on-chain migration of its mortgage portfolio, unlocking elevated transparency, efficiency, and yield opp’s across the mortgage ecosystem
More than half a Bn dollars in mortgages tokenized to date as Pineapple converts legacy loan data into secure, auditable digital assets
Launch includes Mortgage Data Marketplace and Pineapple Prime, bringing institutional-grade analytics and mortgage-backed yields on-chain
Toronto, Ontario–(Newsfile Corp. – December 10, 2025) – Pineapple Financial Inc. (NYSE American: PAPL) (“Pineapple” or “the Company”), a leading fintech platform, today announced the launch of its mortgage tokenization platform, a major advancement in the Company’s on-chain financial infrastructure strategy. Pineapple is now converting real-world mortgage records, historically trapped in PDFs, emails, and back-office folders, into secure and programmable digital assets on the Injective block-chain.
This marks one of the first instances globally of a publicly traded mortgage company tokenizing its own loan book on a public block-chain and integrating on-chain data into day-to-day operations. As part of the platform’s initial deployment, Pineapple has already brought 1,259 previously originated mortgage files on-chain, representing approximately $716Mn CAD in funded mortgage volume. Over the coming months, the Company expects to migrate its entire historical portfolio of more than 29,000 funded mortgages, totaling approximately $13.7Bn CAD, with new originations added on an ongoing basis.
Each tokenized mortgage record contains more than 500 unique data points, creating a unified, auditable, and tamper-resistant source of truth designed to streamline operational workflows, improve risk modeling, and unlock new financial products.
“Pineapple has been a pioneer in modernizing the Canadian mortgage industry, reshaping a traditional and fragmented space into a technology-driven and data-powered ecosystem,” said Shubha Dasgupta, CEO of Pineapple Financial. “By bringing our loan book on-chain, we are not only improving transparency and increasing efficiency, we are laying the groundwork for entirely new financial products, from data marketplaces to mortgage-backed yield platforms. This is the future of mortgage finance, and Pineapple is proud to be leading that transformation.”
…
Don’t forget. PAPL is a low float profile.
With just over 1Mn shares in its float, volatility potential could be significantly heightened (especially after today’s news).
Spend a second reviewing my initial (NYSE American: PAPL) report below and consider this profile for your watchlist.
—–
A technology-focused financial services firm is reshaping how a traditional corner of the market operates, pairing a nationwide operating footprint with a modern, cloud-based platform.
At the same time, the company is also implementing a forward-looking approach to managing its balance sheet, by introducing a digital asset treasury (“DAT”) strategy in partnership with the Injective Foundation. The DAT will be centered on accumulation of the Injective token, a Layer-1 block-chain optimized for decentralized finance.
This combination of real-world financial services and on-chain capabilities is creating a differentiated business model from its legacy peers that warrants a closer look from those tracking the next wave of fintech innovation.
And with a low float of just over 1Mn shares meaning volatility potential could be significantly heightened, positive revenue growth, and major milestones being notched, this under-the-radar NYSE profile has earned the top spot on my watchlist:
Pineapple Financial Inc. (NYSE American: PAPL)
Pineapple is a fintech and leading Canadian mortgage brokerage network, focusing on both the long-term success of agents and brokers as well as the overall experience of homeowners.
With hundreds of brokers within the network, Pineapple creates cutting-edge cloud-based tools and AI-driven systems to enable its brokers to help Canadians realize their dream of owning a home.
And based on several potential catalysts, (NYSE American: PAPL) tops my immediate watchlist. Here’s a quick list:
#1. A Low Float of Just Over 1Mn Shares Could Create Significant Volatility.
#2. A Game-Changing $100Mn Injective Digital Asset Treasure Strategy Is Launched.
#3. Recent Financials Point To A Company Trending In The Right Direction As Revenue Grows.
#4. PAPL Establishes And Stacks Their Treasury Advisory Board With Significant Experience.
#5. A Major Milestone Could Generate Added Company Visibility (PAPL Notches Relisting On NYSE American).
But more on those in a second…
The Problem
Mortgage agents face numerous challenges due to outdated industry processes, requiring them to wear various hats to accomplish their jobs.
They spend most of their time trying to stay organized and completing paperwork.
5-10 different software platforms are required – A lot of time is wasted without working on one cohesive platform.
Under 20 deals closed per month – Significant opp. lost from time running their business.
Majority of agent’s time spent completing administrative tasks – Time is better spent fostering borrower relationships and driving business.
Sourcing and originating clients – Lack of technological solutions that help mortgage agents source borrowers.
Managing multiple clients by themselves – No automated processes managing existing borrowers.
Securing quotations from lenders – Limited or costly support from underwriters.
Creating, emailing, filling out, and collecting administrative paperwork prior to, during and after a transaction – Time taken away from core business focus.
Minimal training and support – Traditionally, mortgage agents have access to very little training and support from the start and throughout their career.
The Pineapple Solution
Pineapple utilizes cutting-edge cloud-based tools and data-driven systems to enable its mortgage agents and brokers to help Canadians realize their ultimate dream of owning a home.
Pineapple aims to help fuel the Canadian housing market by becoming the go-to, tech-driven seamless mortgage experience for mortgage agents, lenders and homebuyers.
One Software Platform – MyPineapple is a seamless technology platform built for mortgage agents and brokers – the only platform needed for mortgage agents and borrowers to connect on.
Over 60 deals closed per month – Mortgage agents have seen an increase in closed deals by up to 300%.
Majority of time spent with borrowers and originating business – Pineapple’s automated technology allows mortgage agents to foster their borrower relationships and drive their business forward.
Automatic creation and collection of all transaction paperwork – Pineapple’s Document Collection Portal is 100% secure, automated and digital.
Lead Generation & Cross-Selling Tools – The company’s MyPineapple platform is completely automated from lead input, marketing journey customization, daily payroll, deal management and submission to additional business generation.
Comprehensive Training – Pineapple provides live training sessions four days per week and offers training in-person, digitally, and on-demand.
How Does It Work?
1. Target Clients – Pineapple’s unique scoring and segmentation algorithm can identify where a specific borrower is within the sales cycle (new home buyer, refinancing, etc.) as well as when a conversion opp. becomes available. These borrowers are then driven to their mortgage agents via the MyPineapple platform.
2. Onboard Clients – Providing borrowers with a digital environment ensures that mortgage agents have all necessary data and provides borrowers with an instant pre-qualification.
3. Process With Accuracy – Ensures that mortgage agents can align with the appropriate lender and product providing a more accurate approval process and creating less of a chance of error or declination of the application. Data integrity also allows Pineapple to make better-informed decisions by analyzing lender policies and future analytics.
4. Client Management – Workflow is managed digitally alongside a secure document and client portal for the borrower to upload the required information directly to the mortgage agent. Realtors and lawyers can also be integrated within the transaction process while also staying abreast of the status of their file.
5. Data Analytics – Leverages past borrower data and market insights to identify cost savings or wealth creation opp’s for their mortgage agents’ borrower base.

A New $100Mn+ Digital Asset Treasury (DAT) Strategy Aims To Leverage Injective ($INJ), A Token Purpose-Built For Finance
Pineapple’s new Digital Asset Treasury (DAT) strategy is designed as a policy-driven, institutional-grade treasury system that allocates assets to the accumulation of Injective tokens in order to strengthen liquidity, diversify income, and enhance the balance sheet through controlled on-chain participation.
A $100Mn DAT target holding showcases Pineapple’s ambition to become the largest public INJ holder, using its mechanisms to support operational resilience, long-term capitalization, and transfer of mortgage data to an on-chain ecosystem
INJ Staking Benefits: Yield & Liquidity Strength
Through its partnership with Injective, Pineapple taps into a ~12% target staking yield, validator participation, and on-chain governance in a platform built for financial applications.

As I mentioned previously, (NYSE American: PAPL) has multiple potential catalysts that send it to the top spot on my watchlist. Take a look:
#1. PAPL Potential Catalyst – A Low Float of Just Over 1Mn Shares Could Create Significant Volatility.
According to info from the Yahoo Finance website, PAPL has a notably low float.
The website reports that this company has roughly 1.01Mn shares in its float.
Why is that important? It’s important on one crucial level. Volatility potential.
If positive company news appears towards the end of 2025, could it provide a breakout spark when paired with this volatility potential?

#2. PAPL Potential Catalyst – A Game-Changing $100Mn Injective Digital Asset Treasure Strategy Is Launched.

#4. PAPL Potential Catalyst – PAPL Establishes And Stacks Their Treasury Advisory Board With Significant Experience.
Pineapple Financial Establishes Digital Asset Treasury Advisory Board and Appoints Three Members from Injective Foundation
Toronto, Ontario–(Newsfile Corp. – November 20, 2025) – Pineapple Financial Inc. (NYSE American: PAPL) (“Pineapple” or “the Company”), a leading fintech platform, today announced the formation of a Digital Asset Treasury (DAT) Advisory Board as the Company advances its strategy of becoming the largest holder and staker of Injective ($INJ) and the premier on-chain mortgage finance platform in the world.

Each new member of the Advisory Board brings deep expertise in block-chain technology and decentralized finance through their roles at the Injective Foundation, underscoring the growing strategic alignment between Pineapple and Injective. Chen co-founded the Injective Foundation in 2018, leading its mission to power next-generation decentralized finance infrastructure. Uddindrives strategic partnerships and institutional engagement across the global block-chain ecosystem, and Emmons oversees initiatives connecting traditional finance institutions with Injective’s on-chain solutions.
“Eric, Mirza, and Cooper bring extensive expertise in block-chain technology and on-chain finance to the Pineapple team,” said Shubha Dasgupta, Chief Executive Officer of Pineapple Financial. “Our Advisory Board will serve a critical role as we work together to achieve our goal of bringing real-world financial systems on-chain and become the largest holder and staker of the $INJ token.

Heavily shorted but fundamentally strong, these five stocks—many tied to AI demand—are primed for rebounds and potential short squeezes. Position now ahead of Q1 2026 earnings and catalyst season.
The last gold bull market of our lifetime…(From Golden Portfolio)

JPMorgan Chase (NYSE: JPM) will kick off peak fiscal 2025 Q4 reporting on Jan. 13, 2026, which means there is not much time left to position for the season. The takeaway in early December is that many stocks, stocks with robust outlooks, have been heavily shorted, their prices are depressed, and they are set up for robust rebounds next year.
Now is the time to start getting some exposure. This article examines five of the highest short-interest stocks on Wall Street, their earnings outlooks, and what might drive a short squeeze in their stock prices.
If your retirement strategy involves “picking the right stocks,” you’re one crash away from disaster…
A hedge fund legend who made $95 million in profits during a crash has a different way.
He’s using 18-digit codes to “skim” the market without buying stocks.
And his followers have seen an 84%-win rate.
Click here to see how he does it
Hims & Hers Health (NYSE: HIMS) stock came under pressure in early 2025 for good reason. The shifting GLP market and issues with its services were cause for concern. However, the story in late 2025 is that the impact of its GLP-1 issues was fleeting, and efforts to expand services and market penetration are gaining traction. The outlook for fiscal Q4 (FQ4) is for growth to slow into the high-20% range, but the bar is low, and outperformance is likely. With short interest at 30%, a squeeze is very possible.
Additionally, the company is in talks with Novo Nordisk (NYSE: NVO) regarding the sale of the GLP inhibitor Wegovy, and a share buyback authorization has been recently approved. The company plans to buy back $250 million, about 3% of its market cap, affirming its financial health and management’s confidence in growth forecasts.
Meanwhile, analysts are lifting price targets and issuing upgrades in early December, pointing to a 15% rebound at the consensus. Good news could easily send this market to a consensus, putting it above critical moving averages and on track to reclaim the highs set earlier this year.
Applied Digital’s (NASDAQ: APLD) short-covering rally has likely already begun. The latest results, from it and GPU-maker NVIDIA (NASDAQ: NVDA), reveal that AI capacity is sold out and demand continues to grow. The net result is that the APLD’s robust forecasts are affirmed, and the longer-term outlook is improving. It may take time, but APLD is on track to complete its second campus and then move on to a third, increasing its revenue outlook by 50% when it does.
Short interest in APLD was over 30% in late November and likely to have fallen since. The stock price is moving up in early December, buoyed by its outlook and analyst sentiment trends.
The analysts’ trends reveal 13 with coverage, the rating is pegged at Moderate Buy, and the price targets are rapidly increasing. The consensus lags the market but is up approximately 150% in the last year, with the high end of the range pointing to a 30% upside and a fresh all-time high.
Turn your “dead money” into $306+ monthly (starting this month)
I’ve been tracking a financial revolution that most people don’t even know exists yet.
With 10X less money than what financial advisors say you need!
This is a new type of investment you can buy with one click in your brokerage account.
SoundHound (NASDAQ: SOUN) also carries a 30% short interest as of late November. The concern is that hype inflated the action, but the deal trends belie the fears.
The company is expanding its voice-activated AI services into new verticals and deepening its penetration among clients, and it has significant momentum in prior quarters.
Looking ahead to 2026, the company is approaching an inflection point at which it will reach profitability. The FQ4 release is an opportunity for management to shed light on the outlook, and it is likely to be in shades the market likes.
The consensus is for revenue growth to slow but remain at a hyper pace of nearly 60%.
Super Micro Computer (NASDAQ: SMCI) has been plagued by many issues, including a recent weak report, that have left its market in a wait-and-see posture unmatched by any other stock.
SMCI reported fiscal year 2026 Q1 earnings on Nov. 4. The guidance for FQ2 is strong, roughly 2,500 basis points better than expected, and should have already triggered short-covering.
The likely outcome is that AI and GPU demand will be reflected in its server business and guidance, coming in well above the consensus figures, providing the much-needed catalysts. Until then, analysts’ sentiment is firming around the consensus estimate, which forecasts a 35% stock price upside.
MP Materials’ (NYSE: MP) early-2025 stock price surge was a signal that the stock is heading higher over the long term. The question now is when the market follows through on the signal, and it is likely to be in early 2026.
The company not only has the support of the U.S. government, but it is already producing revenue and profits, unlike the majority of the rare-earth plays, which spiked in tandem with MP’s stock price.
Short interest in this name isn’t as high as some of the others, but it is still sufficiently high to assist in a rapid stock price increase when the catalysts arrive. Analysts’ coverage aligns with an outlook for a rapid rebound, including a significant increase in coverage, a Moderate Buy rating, and a forecast for a 30% upside.

Higher risk costs are being baked into every renewal
By late 2025, property insurance has quietly become the fastest-growing piece of the typical mortgage payment. ICE’s latest Mortgage Monitor shows average annual property insurance for single-family mortgage holders has climbed to nearly $2,370, now accounting for 9.6% of total monthly PITI — the highest share on record.
At the same time, the risk-transfer layer above insurers is shifting. Aon’s 2025 reinsurance renewal guide notes that insured catastrophe losses this year are roughly 75% above the eight-year average, and insurers are expected to increase property-catastrophe reinsurance limits by about 6% in 2025 and another 5% in 2026. That means carriers are buying more protection — and paying for it — even as capacity improves.
On the ground, regional restrictions are spreading. In October, Matic highlighted how the lapse of the National Flood Insurance Program on October 1 and the rise of “bluelining” — climate-exposed communities losing access to insurance and mortgages — are causing more policy lapses and coverage gaps. Put together, higher climate losses, more reinsurance, and tighter regional underwriting all point in the same direction: more expensive, harder-to-get coverage in 2025–26.
See this strange device? It could help Elon build his next trillion-dollar business…
Launch the biggest IPO of the decade… And make a lot of people rich in the process.
Click here to get the details because Reuters even called it… An emergent monopoly.”
For households, this is where climate risk becomes a line item. When insurance alone absorbs roughly one in every ten dollars of a mortgage payment — and is still rising — it acts like a structural tax on homeownership. The squeeze is most acute in high-risk states where premiums already exceed $5,000–$6,000 a year and non-renewals force borrowers into last-resort or surplus-lines markets.
For insurers, higher climate losses and more generous reinsurance limits raise the all-in cost of risk capital. Aon’s data suggest carriers are leaning into additional catastrophe protection in 2025–26, not backing away. That helps stabilize balance sheets but leaves less room to absorb shocks via margins alone — pushing more of the adjustment onto policyholders via higher deductibles, tighter terms, and premium hikes.
For markets and policymakers, these dynamics feed directly into macro conditions. Rising insurance costs support shelter and services inflation, even if goods disinflate. Fox Business notes that insurance now accounts for about 9% of the typical homeowner payment, and projections of another 16% increase by 2027 imply continued pressure on affordability and housing turnover. Regions facing bluelining and NFIP gaps may also see weaker collateral values and more volatile local credit conditions.
The coming insurance shock is not just about a bad season or one state’s crisis — it reflects a broad repricing of climate and capital costs into premiums. With property insurance now the fastest-growing component of mortgage payments, reinsurance limits rising, and coverage shrinking in the riskiest ZIP codes, investors should treat 2025–26 as a structural reset in how risk is priced across U.S. housing and commercial property, not a temporary spike.
