IHT Q1 HOTEL REVENUES EXCEED $2.2 MILLION; IBC MANAGEMENT OBTAINED
Phoenix, AZ, June 20, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- InnSuites Hospitality Trust (NYSE American: IHT) reported Hotel Revenue results surpassing $2 million once again in the First Fiscal Quarter of 2026, (February 1, 2025, to April 30, 2025), with Total Revenue of approximately $2.2 million.
Consolidated Net Income before non-cash depreciation expense was $221,330 for the 2026 First Fiscal Quarter ended April 30, 2025 (February 1, 2025, through April 30, 2025). Total Consolidated Fiscal First Quarter Net Income remained positive, at $39,030.
IHT hotel operations were strong in the 2025 Fiscal Year ended January 31, 2025, and are contributing to a solid start in the current 2026 Fiscal Year. Combined Hotel May Revenue for both hotels was a notable $632,584, which has led to another remarkable Hotel Revenue amount of $2,838,347 for the first four Fiscal Months of Fiscal Year 2026. These are positive signs for InnSuites, as progress continues strong, while the Travel Industry in general, flattens.
InnSuites Hospitality Trust (IHT), in late 2019, made a diversification investment in new development privately held UniGen Power, Inc. (UniGen), a company developing a patented, high profit potential, efficient clean energy generation innovation. With the continued strong demand from data centers, and added influx and popularity of electric cars, as well as growing projections for artificial intelligence, demand for electricity over the next five years is projected to approximately double. IHT holds convertible bonds and warrants that, if fully exercised, could result in IHT holding an approximately up to 15-20% or more ownership stake in UniGen.
UniGen is currently concentrating on its next round of capital raising, in which IHT may participate. UniGen is a high-risk, clean, efficient, diversification investment, offering high potential investment return if and when successful.
RRF LLLP, the Management Company for IHT, has recently become the Management Company for InnDependent Boutique Collection (IBC Hotels, LLC). This is another new diversification opportunity IHT may participate in further, in the future.
In the process of ownership and management of branded and unbranded hotels, IHT recognized an unfulfilled need to provide hotel reservations, branding, and hotel services for global independent hotels, which at the time and still represent half the hotels in the world. In February 2014, IHT founded IBC Hotels, LLC to explore this unfulfilled opportunity, developing reservations, branding, and related hotel services doing business as 'InnDependent Boutique Collection '(IBC Hotels). Initial success in providing reservations for an IHT operated independent hotel was substantial. As this independent hotel services opportunity and the size of this potential demand was increasingly recognized in the travel industry, IBC Hotels was sold in August 2018 to a foreign hotel company planning expansion of independent hotel reservations and services internationally.
The new owner added additional hotels to the reservation system, further developed, updated, and improved then-existing software, and pursued an agreement with a large international internet hotel guest source. When Covid hit in early 2020 and travel virtually briefly, but almost completely came to a standstill in March 2020, the new owner was not in a position to continue operations pausing IBC Hotels reservation services.
On March 5, 2025, REF , an investment entity owned by the chairman and family of IHT majority IHT shareholder, purchased IBC Hotels, LLC, and hired RRF LLLP, the management company subsidiary of InnSuites Hospitality Trust (IHT), to manage the rebirth of IBC, to benefit from the substantial unfulfilled need worldwide for independent hotel and resort reservations, Boutique branding, and related hotel services. In the process, RRF LLLP, a 76% owned subsidiary of IHT and manager of IHT hotels, was engaged as manager of IBC obtaining a five-year option to purchase, at cost, IBC Hotels, LLC. This option is believed to provide IHT a valuable opportunity, if successful, to profit from the revitalization of InnDependent Boutique Collection (IBC Hotels).
IHT management believes that due to real estate held on the books of IHT at book values believed to be significantly below current market value and due to the high clean energy and IBC diversification profit potential ahead, the IHT future looks bright.
IHT's strong hotel operating results are reflected in three of the four most recent Fiscal Years profitable, even after accounting for substantial non-cash depreciation expense.
Fiscal Year 2026 extended IHT's uninterrupted, continuous annual dividends to 55 years, since initial NYSE listing in 1971. Semi-annual dividends were paid February 5, 2025, and are anticipated for August 4, 2025.
The IHT Annual Shareholder Meeting has been announced, and will be held at the IHT Phoenix Corporate Office, on August 14, 2025, at 1 PM.

RGTI, IONQ: 2 ‘Strong Buy' Russell 2000 Stocks Analysts Say You Shouldn't Miss
Small-cap stocks often fly under the radar, but some hold massive upside potential, especially when backed by bullish analyst sentiment. In this context, two standout names from the Russell 2000, Rigetti Computing (RGTI) and IonQ (IONQ) have both earned Strong Buy ratings from Wall Street. Both stocks are part of the quantum computing space and present high-risk, high-reward opportunities for investors. Confident Investing Starts Here: Let's dive into the details. Is RGTI Stock a Good Buy? Rigetti is an early-stage quantum computing company that's gaining attention for its innovative technology and government partnerships. The company's superconducting systems perform ultra-fast operations in just 60–80 nanoseconds, perfect for tasks like AI and financial modeling. With full control over its tech stack, from chip design to cloud access, the company is well-positioned for scalable growth. However, Rigetti's financial story is challenging. In Q1, revenue plunged 52% to $1.47 million, and operating loss came in at $21.6 million. Despite being unprofitable, analysts remain optimistic about its long-term potential in the emerging quantum sector. Rigetti Computing Stock Forecast Last month, Craig-Hallum's five-star-rated analyst Richard Shannon maintained his Buy rating on RGTI stock. Interestingly, all five analysts who rated the stock gave it a Buy, according to TipRanks. Taken together, Rigetti's stock forecast of $15.0 implies an upside of about 32%. Meanwhile, RGTI stock has declined by over 25% year-to-date. See more RGTI analyst ratings Is IonQ a Good Stock to Buy? IonQ, a pure-play quantum computing company using trapped-ion technology, offers its systems through major cloud platforms. It has emerged as a standout in the sector, with its stock soaring over 450% in the past year. The company is ahead of competitors in getting its quantum systems to market, having already sold hardware to Amazon's (AMZN) AWS and Google (GOOGL) Cloud. Its systems feature all-to-all connectivity and boast an industry-leading 99.9% two-qubit gate fidelity, meaning highly accurate results. With a few units already sold and rising demand, more launches are expected soon. Notably, two-qubit gate fidelity measures how accurately a quantum computer links two qubits. IonQ's 99.9% fidelity signals low error rates, key for building reliable, scalable systems. What Is IonQ Forecast for 2025? This month, top analysts from Needham, Benchmark, and Craig-Hallum reiterated their Buy ratings on IONQ stock. Overall, four out of five analysts currently covering the stock have issued Buy recommendations. Meanwhile, the average IonQ shareprice target of $43 suggests an 8.5% upside from current levels.

Is Lucid Group a Millionaire-Maker Stock?
Smaller stocks are ideal for investors willing to take additional risks for the potential for multi-bagger returns. With a stock price of just $2.22 (corresponding to a market cap of $6.77 billion), Lucid Group (NASDAQ: LCID) fits into this category. But the electric vehicle maker didn't get this cheap by accident. Let's dig deeper to see if it can overcome its operational challenges and generate massive wealth over the long term. What went wrong for Lucid? Looking at Lucid's stock price chart, it is clear that something went terribly wrong for the company. Shares have fallen by a whopping 96% from their all-time high of $58 (reached in early 2021), which means many early investors have been almost completely wiped out. The problem had a lot to do with macroeconomic factors outside management's control. Where to invest $1,000 right now? Our analyst team just revealed what they believe are the 10 best stocks to buy right now. Learn More » For starters, post-pandemic inflation caused the Federal Reserve to aggressively hike interest rates, making it harder for consumers to access credit to afford Lucid's high-priced sedans (the flagship Lucid Air starts at $71,400). Furthermore, EV demand began to slow as early adopters were reached and more competition entered the market. Even the industry leader Tesla has faced pressure, with its automotive revenue dropping by 6% in 2024 -- before Elon Musk's overt political involvement made the situation even worse in 2025. However, unlike Tesla, Lucid lacks the economies of scale to maintain profitability or keep losses under control, leading to spiraling cash burn. While first-quarter revenue grew by a respectable 36% year over year to $235 million, the company still burned through an eye-watering $692 million in just that quarter. Lucid stays afloat through outside sources of capital, such as shareholder dilution (creating and selling more stock). But this has likely contributed to its underperformance. Could Tesla's weakness be Lucid's strength? Tesla's situation worsened in 2025, with first-quarter automotive sales dropping 20% year over year amid consumer boycotts and political backlash related to its CEO. This weakness could create an opportunity for Lucid to capture market share because it competes directly with Tesla's flagship Model S in the full-size luxury sedan segment. This opportunity could be compounded by the possible passing of Trump's "One Big, Beautiful Bill" legislation, which aims to remove the $7,500 tax credit for EV purchases. According to CNN, the bill's current wording might exempt small players like Lucid, giving them a tremendous edge over their larger rivals -- although this legislation is still working its way through Congress, and nothing is finalized yet. Trump's 25% tariff on foreign cars may also advantage Lucid by hurting imported luxury EVs from brands like Audi and Mercedes. Is Lucid stock a buy? Lucid definitely enjoys a lot of encouraging tailwinds from Tesla's political quagmire and Trump's trade and economic policies. That said, whether or not it turns into a millionaire-maker stock will probably depend on the rollout of its new SUV platform, Gravity, launched in late 2024. Gravity is a make-or-break product for Lucid because SUVs tend to be more popular than sedans in the US. The vehicle likely contributed to Lucid's high top-line growth rate in the first quarter. And analysts seem optimistic that this trend can continue with a consensus estimate of Lucid hitting $1.4 billion in total revenue in 2025, which would represent a growth rate of 73.3%. With a price-to-sales (P/S) ratio of 6.7, Lucid's stock looks reasonably priced, considering its growth potential (Tesla has a P/S of 11). And while some investors may want to wait for more information, I think it might finally be time to pull the trigger and bet on a bull run. Should you invest $1,000 in Lucid Group right now? Before you buy stock in Lucid Group, consider this: The Motley Fool Stock Advisor analyst team just identified what they believe are the 10 best stocks for investors to buy now… and Lucid Group wasn't one of them.

Could Nvidia's Projected 9% Annual Returns Through 2030 Be the Smartest Risk-Adjusted Play in Tech?
Forget chasing the next artificial intelligence (AI) unicorn. While venture capitalists funnel billions into speculative start-ups, Nvidia (NASDAQ: NVDA) continues to dominate the infrastructure powering the entire industry. A projected 9% annual return may not sound thrilling, but it could be the smartest risk-adjusted investment in tech this decade. According to Coatue Management, an American technology-focused investment firm, Nvidia's market cap could grow from $3.5 trillion today to $5.6 trillion by 2030, implying a 9.6% compound annual growth rate from current levels. That's a far cry from its recent hypergrowth, but it reflects a business that's maturing into its role as the backbone of the AI economy. Where to invest $1,000 right now? Our analyst team just revealed what they believe are the 10 best stocks to buy right now. Continue » Here's why Nvidia remains a compelling buy -- even as its pace of growth slows. The ecosystem nobody else can match Think of Nvidia as the Apple of AI. Just as the iPhone represents great hardware backed by an impenetrable ecosystem, Nvidia has built something far more valuable than fast chips -- it has created the core operating system for AI. The company's Compute Unified Device Architecture (CUDA) software platform has become the default language for AI development, with over 4 million developers now embedded in the ecosystem. Switching to a competitor means rewriting years of code, creating a switching cost that grows stronger every day. But Nvidia isn't stopping at software dominance. The company has systematically expanded into every layer of the AI stack. DGX Cloud lets companies rent AI supercomputers by the hour, democratizing access to massive computing power. New enterprise platforms help businesses deploy AI without armies of data scientists. The Omniverse platform powers everything from factory simulations to digital twins of entire cities, while the majority of automakers now rely on Nvidia's DRIVE platform for autonomous vehicle development. This isn't diversification for its own sake. Each new product strengthens the core GPU business. A company using Nvidia for robotics simulations naturally gravitates toward Nvidia chips for its data centers. The network effects compound with each customer. Why single-digit returns beat moonshots Yes, 9% annual returns sound pedestrian compared to Nvidia's recent rocket ride. But consider the mathematical reality -- when you're already generating $44 billion in quarterly revenue from a $3.5 trillion base, hypergrowth becomes virtually impossible. What matters is that this 9% comes with something venture-backed AI start-ups can't offer: Certainty. The company's Blackwell architecture was fully booked within months of launch, with shipments stretching into late 2025. In its most recent quarter, data center revenue surged 73% year over year to $39.1 billion, while gross margins -- excluding one-time charges -- hover above 70%. That's the kind of pricing power that competitors can only dream about. And with $54 billion in cash and marketable securities, Nvidia can weather any storm while continuing to invest aggressively. But here's what growth projections might be missing: Nvidia isn't just selling more chips to the same customers. It's expanding the entire AI market. Right now, AI remains largely confined to tech giants and cutting-edge enterprises -- not because of cost, but because of complexity. Nvidia's push to simplify deployment through easier tools, pre-trained models, and plug-and-play solutions removes the technical barriers. When every small business can implement AI without a team of engineers, the addressable market doesn't just grow -- it explodes. Think of local governments optimizing traffic patterns, small manufacturers predicting equipment failures, or family doctors using AI diagnostics. The market expansion opportunity dwarfs any competition concerns. Addressing the elephant in the room Yes, Nvidia trades at a forward price-to-earnings (P/E) ratio of 34 -- a premium by traditional standards. And yes, Advanced Micro Devices is gaining ground while cloud giants like Microsoft and Alphabet are building their own AI chips. Meanwhile, U.S. export restrictions have cut off a significant portion of China-related revenue, removing an estimated $8 billion in near-term sales. But what's the alternative? Betting on early stage AI start-ups with no profits, no moat, and unproven demand? Nvidia's valuation isn't cheap, but it reflects something rare in tech: Dominance with durability. The real opportunity hiding in plain sight Wall Street keeps searching for the next big thing. But the best tech investment of the next decade may not come from a stealth start-up or a buzzy IPO. It's already here, hiding in plain sight. Nvidia, with its projected 9% annual returns, offers what's become rare in technology: Scale, certainty, and sustained innovation. While others gamble on speculative AI plays, Nvidia continues to compound wealth with the dependability of a utility and the velocity of a start-up. The AI revolution isn't slowing. It's accelerating. Every breakthrough, from autonomous vehicles to digital twins, reinforces Nvidia's grip on the infrastructure that powers it all. Sometimes the smartest move isn't chasing the next Nvidia. It's owning the one that already reshaped the future -- and is still just getting started. Should you invest $1,000 in Nvidia right now?
