Vancouver, British Columbia and Grand Prairie, Alberta, June 10, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- AgriFORCE Growing Systems Ltd. ('AgriFORCE' or the 'Company') (NASDAQ: AGRI), an innovation-driven infrastructure and technology company, today announced the launch of a Strategic Power & Compute Initiative in collaboration with BlueFlare Energy ™ Solutions Inc. ('BlueFlare'), a developer of mobile, natural gas-powered generation systems. The partnership signals a major step forward in AgriFORCE's TerraHash Digital ™ strategy to build scalable, high-performance computing (HPC) infrastructure for data-intensive applications, including blockchain networks and modular AI workloads.
Modular Power Meets Next-Gen Compute
At the heart of the Initiative is a shared vision: transforming stranded or underutilized natural gas resources into resilient, decentralized computing infrastructure. The collaboration will enable the deployment of modular energy and compute systems capable of supporting everything from Bitcoin mining to artificial intelligence, edge computing, and real-time analytics.
Under the agreement, AgriFORCE will finance and acquire BlueFlare's proprietary mobile gas-generation units, while BlueFlare will deploy, manage, and operate the end-to-end compute infrastructure.
Integrated Technologies for Intelligent Infrastructure
The Initiative leverages BlueFlare's full-stack platform for remote site management and real-time optimization:
BlueFlare OS ™ – Unified dashboard for fleetwide monitoring of power consumption, uptime, thermal metrics, and hash/computing performance.
Performance Optimization Suite – Adaptive control systems for voltage, fan, and clock speed management to extend hardware longevity.
Remote Command Layer – Full remote operability with one-click reboot, firmware pushes, and miner resets.
Alerting & Predictive Analytics – AI-enabled systems for anomaly detection, maintenance forecasting, and incident prevention.
Batch Configuration Tools – Streamlined fleet provisioning for new miners, pools, and compute workloads.
Also featured is the BlueFlare Carbon Cube ™, a high-precision environmental monitoring and emissions management platform that supports carbon credit validation and ESG reporting—transforming every site into a measurable sustainability asset.
Strategic Growth Path & Infrastructure Rights
AgriFORCE has secured a Right of First Refusal (ROFR) on future BlueFlare-sourced sites that align with TerraHash Digital ™ 's expansion criteria. This ensures a consistent and scalable approach to deploying distributed HPC and digital infrastructure across energy-rich regions in Alberta and beyond.
'This Initiative is a leap forward in our mission to make computing infrastructure more scalable, sustainable, and financially efficient,' said Jolie Kahn, CEO of AgriFORCE. 'Together with BlueFlare, we're pioneering a new era of distributed compute—optimized for both environmental impact and performance.'
Empowering Rural Innovation Through ESG-Aligned Compute
The AgriFORCE–BlueFlare collaboration is designed as a blueprint for regional innovation. By channeling latent energy into data-driven systems, the Initiative promotes rural job creation, grid independence, and carbon offset monetization.
' The Carbon Cube and its supporting technologies represent a breakthrough in transforming stranded or uneconomical energy assets into value-generating infrastructure,' added Dave Jackson, CEO of BlueFlare Energy ™ Solutions Inc. ' Our goal is to not only enable advanced data mining and high-performance computing, but also to generate carbon credits that offset raw energy costs and fuel predictive modeling on the project's frontend. It's a value-added approach that enhances both operational intelligence and environmental accountability. '

This Global REIT Is Riding Asia's AI Wave Straight to the Bank
Equinix (NASDAQ: EQIX) is a powerhouse in digital infrastructure and part of a new class of innovative real estate investment trusts (REITs) laying the groundwork to become the future of real estate investing. It has a strong history of capitalizing on international technology trends that traditional REITs can't match. With a strategic expansion in Indonesia, Equinix is positioning itself for explosive growth, and Wall Street is beginning to take notice. 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 » Why this digital land grab is a big deal Asia is becoming the global epicenter of digital demand, and Indonesia is leading the charge. It's attracting major investments in cloud computing, artificial intelligence (AI), and fintech. By entering the market early and scaling aggressively, Equinix is developing a strategic advantage that will be tough for competitors to match. Indonesia's data center market is projected to grow at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 8% to $3.79 billion through 2030. Cloud giants like Amazon Web Services and Alphabet 's Google Cloud have already announced major investments, but their platforms need physical infrastructure to function. That's what makes Equinix's expansion into Jakarta so strategic. Its newly opened data center is no ordinary server farm. Built to support intensive computing tasks like training and running AI systems, Equinix is creating the critical backbone necessary for digital business growth in Indonesia. This could make Equinix one of tech's most valuable players. The average analyst price target sees Equinix at $1,009, 10% percent higher than it currently sits, a nod to its forward-looking strategy and savvy market expansion. What gives Equinix the edge In addition to its Indonesian assets, Equinix operates 270 data centers across five continents and 35 countries. It has a great track record with its customers, retaining 98% of them. As of Q1 2025, Equinix reported over $2.1 billion in annual adjusted earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation, and amortization (EBITDA). This strong combination of global scale, customer loyalty, and reliable earnings is exactly what sets the stage for Equinix's move into Jakarta to be a success. While it's not the highest-dividend REIT, Equinix pays investors 2% annually. But considering its growth trajectory looks more like a tech company than a traditional REIT, that's not too bad. The risks to watch Equinix does face potential pressures though. Their total capital expenditures for 2025 are projected between $3.4 billion and $3.7 billion, with non-recurring expenditures accounting for around 95% of that. This significant investment is partly due to the need to modernize legacy data centers to meet new levels of demand. While these upgrades are essential, they represent a substantial financial commitment that could impact short-term profitability. That said, Equinix ended Q1 2025 with roughly $2.95 billion in cash and cash equivalents and an ample $7.6 billion in total available liquidity. The balance sheet looks sturdy enough to fund expansion without putting shareholders at undue risk. Geopolitical tensions are also on the periphery of investor concerns. As Equinix operates globally, it must navigate regulatory, monetary, and political risks in emerging markets. But these risks appear to be well managed by the company's leadership, and its long-term leases, high renewal rates, and diversified customer base provide stability. It's time to stake your claim in the future of tech real estate Some investors still think REITs are too risky and don't deliver enough value. Those perceptions are often based on underperforming traditional sectors like retail or office space. That's where tech-powered REITs like Equinix come in. Gone are the days when investing in real estate meant buying a piece of something on the ground. Now you're buying into the cloud. Even in comparison to peers like Digital Realty, Equinix still stands out. It has a stronger international footprint, a more premium client base, and better historical uptime. If you're looking for a REIT that combines growth potential with resilience in the digital age, Equinix is arguably a top-tier pick. AI is only as powerful as the infrastructure behind it, and Equinix is building the digital backbone on which the future will run. Jakarta may just be one dot on the map, but it signals Equinix is putting itself at the forefront of the global shift. With recurring revenue, global scale, and a pioneering foothold in high-growth markets like Indonesia, this REIT could quietly become one of the most important tech stocks of the next decade. Investors looking to profit from AI's global expansion without the volatility of pure-play tech stocks may want to give Equinix a closer look. It might not be a flashy choice, but it's in a solid state and could be the smartest upgrade your portfolio makes this year. Should you invest $1,000 in Equinix right now?

Meta Platforms (META) Reportedly Held Acquisition Talks with Perplexity AI
Meta Platforms (META) reportedly held acquisition talks with Perplexity AI, an artificial intelligence search startup, before ultimately deciding to invest heavily in another AI company, Scale AI. According to Bloomberg, the discussions between Meta and Perplexity did not result in a deal, and both companies walked away without pursuing the acquisition. Neither Meta nor Perplexity have commented publicly on the matter. Confident Investing Starts Here: Easily unpack a company's performance with TipRanks' new KPI Data for smart investment decisions Receive undervalued, market resilient stocks right to your inbox with TipRanks' Smart Value Newsletter Instead, Meta announced earlier this month that it would invest $14.3 billion in Scale AI, which allowed it to acquire a 49% stake in the company and value it at over $29 billion. As part of the deal, Scale's CEO Alexandr Wang will join Meta to lead its new 'superintelligence' division, which focuses on developing artificial general intelligence (AGI). For context, AGI refers to AI systems that can understand, learn, and apply knowledge across a wide range of tasks at a human-like level of intelligence. This move highlights Meta's shift toward building more advanced AI systems that go beyond narrow task-based models. Founded in 2016, Scale AI helps train generative AI models by connecting them with a large network of human experts. Meta's significant investment in the company shows that CEO Mark Zuckerberg is determined to strengthen the company's position in the AI market. And Zuckerberg is not the only one, as many other tech giants have invested heavily in AI startups ever since Microsoft's blockbuster deal with OpenAI in 2023. Is Meta a Buy, Sell, or Hold? Turning to Wall Street, analysts have a Strong Buy consensus rating on META stock based on 42 Buys, three Holds, and one Sell assigned in the past three months, as indicated by the graphic below. Furthermore, the average META price target of $707.16 per share implies that shares are almost fairly valued. See more META analyst ratings

'Only Lean Teams Remaining': Intel Stock (NASDAQ:INTC) Slips as Intel Outsources Marketing
Imagine my surprise to discover that, last year, almost to the day, I made the joke that I was about to make here today. There, I pointed out a Dilbert strip that noted that cutting 'marcom', or marketing / communications, is part of a 'death spiral' for businesses. Chip stock Intel (INTC) decided to let history repeat itself nearly 11 months later by outsourcing its marketing department altogether. Intel shares dropped similarly to what happened the last time they cut marketing, and lost modestly in Friday afternoon's trading. Confident Investing Starts Here: Easily unpack a company's performance with TipRanks' new KPI Data for smart investment decisions Receive undervalued, market resilient stocks right to your inbox with TipRanks' Smart Value Newsletter Back in August 2024, Intel was planning to cut its marketing department as part of a move to cut costs, a move that has only expanded with the arrival of CEO Lip-Bu Tan. And now, the cuts continue, as Intel moves its marketing operations to Accenture (ACN). As it turns out, Intel will be turning to a combination of Accenture and artificial intelligence (AI) to do the job. Worse, Intel believes that Accenture will '…do a better job connecting with customers than Intel's own marketing organization has,' reports suggest, which is absolutely not a phrase you want on your resume. The result? 'The transition of our marketing and operations functions will result in significant changes to team structures, including potential headcount reductions, with only lean teams remaining,' noted a statement from Intel. There is also a possibility that some elements of Intel's marketing will be obliged to train their replacements. Another Price Cut As bad as the news was for Intel's marketing operations, it did get better for Intel's customer base. Reports noted that Intel had once again cut prices on the Core Ultra 7 265KF processor. This is the second such cut in as many months, reports note. The processor is now not only priced at its lowest level ever, but is now 40% cheaper than it was when it first hit shelves. The downside, for those considering a processor buy, is that the F variants—of which this is one—does not include a graphics processing unit (GPU) included. Thus, those using this processor will need a separate graphics card to go with it. Still, with that kind of price cut, a better graphics card could be added to the list for about the same price, and potentially, some savings as well. Is Intel a Buy, Hold or Sell? Turning to Wall Street, analysts have a Hold consensus rating on INTC stock based on one Buy, 26 Holds and four Sells assigned in the past three months, as indicated by the graphic below. After a 30.88% loss in its share price over the past year, the average INTC price target of $21.30 per share implies 0.35% upside potential.
