NextPlat - NXPL STOCK NEWS

NextPlat Corp (NASDAQ: NXPL) announced that its subsidiary, Global Telesat Communications (GTC), has secured a one-year extension for a wireless connectivity services contract from an African military customer. The contract, initially awarded in Q1 2024, includes Iridium Push-To-Talk (PTT) device hardware and airtime services, with options for additional future purchases.

The extension represents a continuation of what was previously the largest contract of its type in the company's history. The hardware and airtime services sales under this contract are not affected by recent US tariffs. The Iridium Extreme® PTT devices provide instant, secure, and reliable global communication, particularly valuable for government, military, and enterprise customers operating in challenging environments.

NextPlat Corp (NASDAQ: NXPL) announced it will pause certain initiatives within its e-Commerce development program due to increased US/China tariffs on US-produced goods. The company is specifically halting plans for its Florida Sunshine brand of vitamins and supplements in the Chinese market, as the tariffs would significantly impact import costs and competitive positioning against local products.

Despite these challenges, NextPlat will continue selling OPKO Health Europe (OPKO) products in China, including nutraceuticals, supplements, and pet care items, as these are not US-produced and therefore not subject to the additional tariffs. The company is exploring opportunities to sell Florida Sunshine products in other markets.
