Skull Session: Exploring TOYO’s Solar Energy Competitive Advantage – Hosted By A GeoInvesting Research Contributor + Q1 Fave Earnings Reports From Sebastian Krog And Maj [GeoWire Weekly No. 241]
The feature highlight last week was a Fireside Chat Skull Session we hosted with Rhone Resch, Chief Strategy Officer of Toyo Co., Ltd (NASDAQ:TOYO), co-moderated and led by GeoInvesting Research contributor “Jev” (@MicrocapDr), covering surprisingly positive Q1 earnings results, the competitive advantage it has vs comps like First Solar, Inc. (NASDAQ:FSLR), the company’s plans to expand capacity to scale production, and the unique risks involved with investing in the solar industry. Can we see a re-rate in the company’s low P/E ratio? This week, I also had my usual small-cap earnings review where Sebastian Krog (@treasurehunting on Substack; @SebKrog on X), Diego La Torre (@Diego_La_Torre_) and I went through 10 of our favorite small-cap and microcap names from the Q1 earnings season. We also made sure to cover the main risks in each case.

The bar has been raised so high, it's very hard for the pole vaulter to clear it" Steve Sosnick on the NVIDIA problem nobody wants to talk about "Everybody expects them to be better than expected. When you have an NVIDIA situation, it's very hard to keep clearing that bar" "Where might fresh money be coming into NVIDIA? Is there anyone who's not familiar with the story already?
