@whiteoutcapital In your opinion, what is the main reason that Calnano isn't converting more R&D customers to larger manufacturing contracts?

Whiteout Capital (Zack)@whiteoutcapital·
California Nanotechnologies $CNO.V $CANOF - closed their private placement with ~3.12m shares issued. They offered 2.5m shares plus a 1m share over-allotment. My interpretation is that they possibly had buyers lined up for the 2.5m and left the other 1m open to shop. There's good and bad news here. The good news is they were able to raise almost $1m when sentiment is generally poor and they've been on a losing streak operationally. The bad news isn't too bad or surprising, but they were only able to fill 612k shares of the 1m over-allotment. So there was some interest, but not like the raise in 2023 where it was over-subscribed and many people only got 1/3 of the allocation they requested (such as myself). This cash will hopefully help them bridge the gap to their next commercial customer(s) after abruptly losing their green steel customer about a year ago. I still don't love the raise here in a position of weakness, but at least they were able to raise at the market price and enough to sustain them for a while. calnanocorp.com/california-nan…

@nitinkinvest @DMetropolitan They hired a back end developer for RaceControl and QA person. I'm pretty sure the CEO and CFO are going to earn $400k salary each.

@nanocapper @DMetropolitan Announced the earnings date right after the post. Also agree with the earnings sentiment! However , Don’t think SG&A is a concern but you never know with nanocaps.

Nitin Gupta@nitininvests·
I know most people didn’t read the SS post, so I wanted to share my thoughts on the $MSGM setup, which I believe is extremely compelling heading into 2026. Thanks to @DMetropolitan for bringing this to my attention. I believe the set up is massively misunderstood and offers asymmetric upside. Currently trading at a market cap of roughly $20 million and essentially 1x forward sales, the market is mispricing the equity as a distressed, capital-destructive legacy gaming publisher. The company has executed a structural turnaroundand is now completely debt-free with $4.5 million in cash reserves. Driven by the shift from physical retail sales to the high-margin RaceControl SaaS platform, gross margins have expanded to an exceptional 80.7%. Over the coming quarters, I believe, the underlying intrinsic value of this recurring revenue ecosystem will become the narrative which will drive the stock higher. Social Arbitrage & Capturing the Competitor Vacuum LMU is aggressively cannibalizing market share in a landscape currently defined by lackluster competition. The historical king of GT3 racing, Assetto Corsa Competizione (ACC), has been effectively abandoned by its developers in favor of Assetto Corsa Evo, a title currently facing heavy community criticism and OVERWHELMINGLY NEGATIVE rating on Steam. Simultaneously, the reigning multiplayer titan, iRacing, continues to alienate newer players with sunk-cost fatigue, requiring hundreds of dollars just to participate. LMU is exploiting this friction well. The games' momentum is being accelerated by major YouTube KOLs like Jimmy Broadbent and Danny Lee, who are actively redirecting their massive audiences into the MSGM ecosystem due to its superior, highly communicative tire physics and accessible pricing. The brand loyalty can also be seen from the positive comments on YouTube videos released by LMU. The development team and CEO Stephen Hood are receiving overwhelming praise for their transparency and community driven updates, proving they are actively listening to their player base. Unprecedented Engagement & De-Risked Infrastructure In their December 2025 press release, the company mentioned that players drove a staggering 12.5 million laps on RaceControl (608% YoY increase). That growth compounded into the new year, with Steam concurrent player peaks hitting all-time highs of 8,740 in January and 8,660 in February 2026. What makes these metrics truly explosive is that the real-world 24 Hours of Le Mans doesn't even take place until June, these numbers are strictly organic. As MSGM continues to roll out new tracks, cars, and highly requested features like a single-player career mode, the adoption of their high-margin RaceControl Pro ($48/yr) and Pro+ ($84/yr) subscriptions will continue to scale rapidly. This past weekend, LMU hosted stable 12-hour endurance races with complex driver swaps, the developers proved they have resolved the scaling bottlenecks that plagued the platform in the past. This was the Achilles heel of the company in 2023 and resulted in Max Verstappen getting disconnected during the 2023 virtual event which caused a lot of negative press. Upcoming Catalysts & The Console Lottery Ticket We are entering a compressed window of highly lucrative catalysts. The Q4 2025 earnings report will benefit from a massive deferred revenue tailwind, as the December launch of ELMS Pack 2 legally unlocked significant cash parked on the balance sheet under ASC 606 accounting standards. Q1 2026 is structurally positioned to be even stronger, leveraging all-time high player counts and aggressively optimized SaaS monetization. Looking ahead to the summer, the June Le Mans Virtual event will most likely completely shatter existing records, driving an immense top of funnel lift for the RaceControl platform. If MSGM successfully secures commitments from massive real-world drivers to join the simulation, a strategy currently in motion according to the management, the mainstream cultural exposure could trigger a viral explosion for the game. The sticky PC player base could also give MSGM immense leverage in their late-stage negotiations with third-party partners to fully fund the console port. Porting an already-optimized PC architecture to PlayStation and Xbox is a manageable transition that instantly unlocks a TAM multiple times larger than their current footprint. If management can smooth out the remaining minor VR bugs and penalty system friction, 2026 is destined to be a watershed year for the company.

Not my idea, but one I'm really liking for earnings is $MSGM. Working on an SS post and hoping to share it this weekend, link in the bio (no paywall). Medium-risk play but could be a potential multibagger. The current quarter is shaping up to be a material turning point, as significant revenue tailwinds from the Q4 "Track and Pack" release suggest a potential blowout performance. The December 2025 update, which introduced the Paul Ricard circuit and the innovative "Team Online" feature, has acted as a massive catalyst for both high-margin DLC sales and recurring "RaceControl Pro" subscriptions. Alternative data and web traffic metrics support this narrative, showing a 126% spike in traffic between community hubs and the storefront, while traffic to the "Pro" subscription paywall has soared by 60%. This momentum has carried directly into January 2026, which saw the game hit an all-time peak of 8,740 concurrent players, a 4x increase over the previous year an This suggests to me that the market is missing a surge in deferred revenue and ARPU (Average Revenue Per User) that could make the next earnings report a landmark event for the company's valuation. The company could post revenue numbers close to $3.5M which would represent a significant QoQ growth and a material lift in the bottom line owing to the 80% margins from DLC and RaceControl Pro subscription. Motorsport Games $MSGM is a possible turnaround story with great social traction, where a company has successfully pruned its distractions and is now focusing on its high margin business. Historically, MSGM was a bloated license collector and burdened by expensive, underperforming contracts for NASCAR and IndyCar that drained cash at a rate of $2 million per month. Under the leadership of returning CEO Stephen Hood, the company has cleaned up its act materially and is divesting the NASCAR license and refocusing entirely on its crown jewel: Studio 397 and the Le Mans Ultimate (LMU) platform. The company has shrunk its footprint to a boutique team of 41 people who develop the industry-leading rFactor 2 physics engine, one $FWONK & $DBO.TO $DBOXF use for their F1 Arcades. MSGM has reduced its monthly cash burn to less than $100,000 and I believe will be cash flow positive in Q4 creating a lean foundation for a possible multi-bagger opportunity. The story today is about their pivot towards a technology centric SaaS model via the RaceControl platform. The broader market is incorrectly focused on a perceived slowdown, alternative data and social sentiment analysis from community hubs like Reddit and Discord reveal a thriving, highly engaged ecosystem. MSGM has teased a potential new game, as noted they provide the physics engine for the F1 Arcade, MSGM has established a strategic moat that could realistically lead to a full-scale F1 simulation title in the future. This is currently ignored by Wall Street, yet it provides a free lottery ticket on future high-profile developments. In the near term, the return of the Le Mans Virtual championship serves as a material catalyst, likely driving peak user numbers and lucrative sponsorships that will lift ARPU. Finally, the most significant catalyst is the impending console port for PS5 and Xbox. Management is in late-stage negotiations with a funding partner to foot the entire bill for development, effectively eliminating MSGM’s financial risk while opening the door to a user base 4X larger than the current PC market. With growing deferred revenue and material catalysts in the current quarter, the market’s pessimistic view of MSGM is a textbook mispricing. MSGM offers the rare combination of a "boring" niche business, a proven tech moat, and massive multi-platform growth potential that is currently underfollowed by the institutional crowd.

Whiteout Capital (Zack)@whiteoutcapital·
Valuing Cal Nano is challenging right now. Backward-looking valuations are murky. Forward-looking valuations are speculative. From a qualitative perspective, I think their network and reputation are under-valued and under-monetized. Some of the most cutting edge technology companies are hiring Cal Nano to R&D their most critical components. Their relationship with top material science researchers at universities and national labs is not something that could be easily replicated. The current financials don’t provide much support for valuation today (which I’d speculate is part of why the share price has struggled), but given these qualitative factors, the current $10.4m market cap feels low to me. I’ve been actively purchasing shares for the first time since 2023. How is everyone else thinking about the current setup? $CNO.V $CANOF I own shares. Not investment advice.

Liquidation Stocks
Liquidation Stocks@hughieforbes·
I find many very illiquid liquidations on the OTC. If you can get a fill, then you can make some nice low risk returns. The paradox is you often need expert market access.
Dirtcheapstocks@dirtcheapstocks

If I had $100,000 I'd do this: - Read every filing. - Arb odd lot tenders, new releases, liquidations, etc. - Own 2-3 tiny companies trading at ~3x earnings and less than net cash. I bet a smart person could do ~50% CAGR. Issue is it takes all your time. Not investment advice.

Somehow I missed that Cal Nano got their first analyst last Oct. They have a price target of $1 for $CANOF (translates to C$1.39 for $CNO.V). Target was maintained after last quarter’s miss. Analyst is Tate Sullivan if you’d like the report: tsullivan@maximgrp.com

Yesterday I published my first interview in what I plan to be a series of industry expert interviews for California Nanotechnologies $CNO.V. What are people you'd be interested in hearing from or questions you'd like answers to? The goal is to interview people other than Eric.
Whiteout Capital (Zack)@whiteoutcapital

Most people have never heard of spark plasma sintering (SPS), but it’s quietly enabling breakthroughs in aerospace, defense, semiconductors, energy, and beyond. I just published an interview with someone who’s been on the front lines of its evolution.

My understanding is that the green steel company was never going to do a commercial contract. They communicated from the start that they wanted to use Cal Nano as an R&D partner and move the process in-house once they met performance requirements. With that said, the green steel industry is in flux right now. The Trump administration, DOGE, tariffs, etc. have upended a lot of what they were working on and my read is that they are taking a conservative approach until they understand the new rules of the game. Last I talked with Eric, they are still a customer, just at a lower volume. Could return any day to previous R&D levels, or leave for good, really hard to say. I think Cal Nano has a lot of opportunities beyond just the green steel company.
