Pattern Detected

Positive, valuation-focused research and compliance updates have often coincided with sharp upside moves, while strategic/M&A announcements have seen negative reactions.

Recent Company History

Over the last six months, SOPA news has revolved around capital markets milestones, strategic repositioning, and compliance. An October earnings-focused research note highlighted 2Q 2025 growth and coincided with a 275.89% move. In September, confirmation of Nasdaq listing compliance also preceded a double‑digit gain. More recently, strategy and AI/M&A announcements on Dec 11 and Dec 15 were followed by double‑digit declines. Yesterday’s research calling the stock undervalued aligned with a 9.35% rise. Today’s Greenridge report continues that theme of external analysts emphasizing asset value and growth prospects.

Analysis

The stock moved +6.0% in the session following this news. A strong positive reaction aligns with prior episodes where bullish research and asset-based valuation arguments preceded sharp gains, such as the 275.89% move after the October earnings note. However, earlier AI and M&A strategy updates saw double‑digit declines, underscoring volatility around execution risk. Elevated volume at 1.81x normal highlights speculative interest. Investors may watch how NUTR and TMGX listings, plus AI acquisitions, translate into reported revenue and earnings versus Greenridge’s 2025–2026 estimates.

Key Terms

ipo, b2c, b2b, gmv, +3 more

7 terms

ipo financial

"NusaTrip Inc [Nasdaq: NUTR] completed its IPO on August 18, 2025, raising..."

An initial public offering (IPO) is the process by which a private company sells its shares to the public for the first time, making its ownership available on the stock market. This allows the company to raise money from a wide range of investors to fund growth or other goals. For investors, an IPO offers a chance to buy into a company early in its public journey, potentially benefiting if the company grows in value.

b2c technical

"NusaTrip veered from the B2C channel and refocused on B2B, partnering with..."

Business-to-consumer (B2C) describes companies that sell products or services directly to individual customers rather than to other businesses. Investors care because B2C firms’ revenues, growth and risks are driven by consumer demand, brand strength and marketing — like a shop whose success depends on foot traffic and repeat shoppers — so shifts in consumer tastes, pricing power or distribution can quickly affect sales and profitability.

b2b technical

"NusaTrip veered from the B2C channel and refocused on B2B, partnering with..."

Business-to-business (B2B) describes companies that sell products or services to other businesses rather than to individual consumers. For investors, B2B models often mean larger, repeatable contracts and revenue tied to corporate budgets, which can produce steadier, more predictable cash flow; think of a parts supplier selling regular batches to a factory rather than a shop selling single items to walk-in customers, so customer concentration and contract length matter.

gmv financial

"which has led to significant growth... including over $100 million in GMV with Agoda..."

Gross merchandise value (GMV) is the total dollar value of all goods and services sold through a platform or marketplace over a given period, measured before deducting fees, returns, or discounts. Investors watch GMV to gauge the raw size and growth of customer activity—like counting every ticket sold at a concert before subtracting organizer costs—while remembering it is not the same as revenue or profit.

atm offering financial

"through small private placements, and more recently, a $1.88 million ATM offering..."

An at-the-market offering is a way for a company to sell new shares of its stock directly into the stock market over time, usually through a designated sales program. This approach allows the company to raise funds gradually as needed, similar to adding small amounts of fuel to a car rather than filling the tank all at once. For investors, it can influence the company's stock price and provide insights into its financing plans.

convertible note financial

"and a $4.3 million convertible note, with funds going to cover IPO-related fees..."

A convertible note is a type of loan that a company gets from investors, which can later be turned into company shares instead of being paid back in cash. It matters because it helps startups raise money quickly without setting a fixed value for the company right away, making it easier to grow and attract investors.

pre-money valuation financial

"At a possible $4.00 IPO price... TMG would have a pre-money valuation of $71.2 million."

Pre-money valuation is the estimated worth of a company before it receives any new investment. It can be thought of as the company's value right before adding fresh money, similar to valuing a house before a renovation. This figure helps investors understand how much of the company they will own after investing and how their investment impacts the company's overall value.

NEW YORK, Dec. 23, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Society Pass Incorporated (Nasdaq: SOPA) (“SOPA” or the “Company”), Southeast Asia’s (SEA) next generation e-commerce ecosystem, today highlights a recent equity research report on Society Pass Inc. from Greenridge Global LLC (“Greenridge”) as published on December 22, 2025.

Summary Points from Greenridge’s Report:
• NusaTrip Completes IPO & Forges Ahead with Growth Plans: NusaTrip Inc [Nasdaq: NUTR] completed its IPO on August 18, 2025, raising a total of $17,250,000. Over the last two years, NusaTrip veered from the B2C channel and refocused on B2B, partnering with Agoda and other OTAs on flights and deepening relationships with airline carriers around SEA. This was done while redeveloping its software to enable it to be the low-cost provider with the biggest supply on SEA routes, which has led to significant growth over the course of 2025, including over $100 million in GMV with Agoda on a quarterly basis. This top and bottom-line growth should only accelerate after it connects with Agoda for hotels, and expands its higher margin ancillary products and services, like seat selection and travel insurance. As it continues to build its airline and hotel relationships, Greenridge expects NusaTrip to eventually move into the higher margin B2C space. NUTR is currently priced at $9.00 per share, giving a value to SOPA of $126,000,000, based on the 14.0 million shares it holds. Unfortunately, NUTR’s stock seems to have been swept up in the trading halts that have hit other recently listed companies, with the key difference being that those companies had been doing little in terms of press releases, conference presentations, and investor outreach. Greenridge expects the halt to be lifted in the near future.

• TMG Set For IPO: Thoughtful Media Group Inc’s [Nasdaq: TMGX] IPO has been in the works for some time, but appears to have been slowed by the shutdown and delays with Nasdaq, which seems to be the case for many listings. The underlying business has undergone changes, with the MCN business in decline. TMG is focusing on maintaining its MCN business by expanding into other channels, like Facebook and TikTok, while offering more incentives and perks to content creators. More importantly, the much higher margin Premium business has become the focus of TMG, and should see increased demand around SEA from recent marketing efforts and from business coming via NusaTrip and its partners. Of the roughly $17,250,000 being raised in the IPO, TMG plans to use the funds for M&A and market expansion opportunities. At a possible $4.00 IPO price (the low end of the range), TMG would have a pre-money valuation of $71.2 million. SOPA has had to escrow 3,000,000 shares of TMG relating to a court case filed in 2019 over a stock warrant. From a valuation standpoint, to be conservative, Greenridge believes SOPA’s 13,000,000 shares of TMG could be valued at $52,000,000.

• Entering The AI Business Via Acquisitions: Last week, the Company announced it would acquire and operate AI software and infrastructure companies in SEA, Europe and North America. The demand in this space, using the cash and listed vehicle to enter this market seems like a reasonable next step. Management has been unable to disclose its plans in greater detail, but noted in the press release that deals are expected in the next few months.

• Model Update: Greenridge’s updated model reflects corporate overhead and the financial results from SOPA’s two key operating assets, NusaTrip and Thoughtful Media. Greenridge’s new estimates call for 2025 Revenue of $7.4 million with a loss of $0.15 per share, and $0.16 per share of earnings in 2026 on Revenue of $18.2 million. Greenridge believes the Company’s potential 2026 growth is a reflection of the strong growth potential expected with NusaTrip from its flight and hotel expansion with Agoda, and should be a starting point for the potential NUTR has to expand its business.

• Operational Right-sizing & AI Integration: From a corporate standpoint, management has replaced numerous back-office jobs with AI and invested in software upgrades that are helping NusaTrip in particular grow. Greenridge visited SOPA’s office twice in the second half of 2025 and can attest that management is running a tight, cost control focused operation. The Company has seen management and Board changes, however based on meetings and conversations with CEO Ray Liang and CFO Yee Siong Tan, along with NusaTrip’s CEO Anson Neo, Greenridge is confident in the direction of the Company. SOPA has financed operations through small private placements, and more recently, a $1.88 million ATM offering and a $4.3 million convertible note, with funds going to cover IPO-related fees for NUTR and TMGX.

• Maintaining Rating & Reducing Target Price: There have been numerous updates since Greenridge’s last report, and Greenridge believes that the Company seems to be in a strong position with cash on hand after the first of its two IPOs, what looks to be a very strong NusaTrip business with a lot of blue sky ahead, and the potential for value add acquisitions in the AI space. The stock seems to be pricing none of this in as it trades below net cash. Greenridge is optimistic on the near term and long-term outlook on Society Pass and its operating assets, and as such are reiterating our Buy rating. Based on valuation, Greenridge is reducing its target price from $45.00 to $25.00 given the changes since the last update. Greenridge’s target price is based on the current market value of SOPA’s holding in NUTR shares, and 50% of the expected IPO value of its shareholding in TMGX (excluding the escrowed shares). Greenridge believes that the discount is likely due to the fact the second IPO has not yet completed.
