Tenet Sets Revised Timeline for Filing of Year-End 2024 Financial Results
Toronto, Ontario--(Newsfile Corp. - July 23, 2025) - Tenet Fintech Group Inc. (CSE: PKK) (OTCQB: PKKFF) ("Tenet" or the "Company"), an innovative analytics service provider, owner and operator of the Cubeler® business development platform, today announced that the completion of the audit of the Company's year-end 2024 financial statements (the "Financial Statements") would be further delayed to align with the annual tax audit of the Company's Chinese subsidiaries. The subsidiaries' tax audit is an annual requirement for Tenet's Chinese operating entities. It is typically conducted alongside the audit of the Company's year-end financial statements, as both audits rely on similar financial information. This year, however, Tenet was unable to synchronize the two audits because of the delay in the start of the audit of its Canadian operations, resulting in additional delays to file the Financial Statements. Tenet has revised the timeline for filing the Financial Statements to August 2025, with a precise filing date to be communicated by the end of this month.

Meme stock Opendoor boosted by Canadian hedge fund manager
By Carolina Mandl NEW YORK (Reuters) -A surge in shares of residential real estate platform Opendoor Technologies has been boosted by the portfolio manager of a small Canada-based hedge fund, Eric Jackson. Opendoor's stock has soared more than 400% this month, luring retail investors in a fashion that resembles the meme stock frenzy of 2021, when small investors drove up shares of video-game retailer GameStop and cinema chain AMC. "When I first started tweeting about Opendoor last Monday afternoon, I definitely wasn't thinking it was going to be considered a meme stock," Jackson, founder and portfolio manager of EMJ Capital, told Reuters on Wednesday. "It's a real business. It's not just investors pinning their hopes on some fake crypto coin." With a market capitalization of about $1.7 billion, Opendoor connects buyers and sellers of houses. Jackson, based in Toronto, said last week on X his hedge fund had taken a position in Opendoor, forecasting the stock would hit $82 in the longer term. Since then, he has been voicing his bets on the company almost daily. The stock closed more than 20% lower on Wednesday at $2.29. He believes Opendoor is a story similar to used-car retailer Carvana, which was considered a meme stock, but started to show improved performance in 2024 helped by cost-saving measures. "We think there's a big turnaround ahead," said Jackson, whose number of followers on X has doubled in recent weeks to 67,000. Jackson's profile contrasts with the online influencer Keith Gill, known as Roaring Kitty, an office worker who started to analyze and invest in stocks while unemployed in 2017. His online publications drove the GameStop mania in 2021, causing losses to hedge funds betting against the video game retailer. Before founding his firm in 2017, Jackson, who has a Ph.D. in management from Columbia University, was a managing director at SpringOwl Asset Management, an activist hedge fund that was a vocal investor in Yahoo during a period when it held a stake in China's Alibaba. Gill, Carvana and Opendoor did not immediately respond to a Reuters' request for comments. Jackson said EMJ manages less than $10 million and declined to provide the exact figure. Current assets represent a fraction of the firm's size at the peak, when it was "well over $100 million," he said. The portfolio manager said a key investor in the fund redeemed his capital in 2022 after the fund posted losses in 2021 and 2022, causing assets to drop drastically. "We were facing shutting the doors," he said. But instead, Jackson decided to refocus his firm, building machine learning and artificial intelligence models with the help of four engineers to pick stocks. Currently EMJ's portfolio is comprised of only long positions in a few stocks. The hedge fund, which is a long/short fund, is also invested in bitcoin miners Iren and Cipher Mining, quantum technology company BTQ Technologies and ethereum ETF. "I am not interested in stocks that go to zero," Jackson said, explaining why he is not betting against stocks. "The best AI results we've had, it's around these stocks that have this chance to go 10x or even 100x."

Unified on Trump and Tariffs, Canada's Premiers Differ on Next Steps
The leaders of Canada's provinces and territories spoke as one during a three-day meeting when it came to condemning President Trump's annexation threats and trade war against the country. But when it came to how Canada should respond and deal with the resulting economic turmoil, their patriotic unity swiftly dissipated into the regional rifts that have long divided the country. Even after meeting with Prime Minister Mark Carney on Tuesday, the 13 premiers still had conflicting views about further trade retaliation against the United States if Mr. Trump goes ahead on Aug. 1 and imposes 35 percent tariffs on Canadian exports. Even without a single project being announced, divisions have formed among provinces around Mr. Carney's plan to offset economic losses from reduced trade with the United States by rapidly building major infrastructure projects like oil pipelines. Still, as the meeting wrapped up on Wednesday, Doug Ford, the premier of Ontario and the host, boasted about the unity among the political leaders in the face of Mr. Trump's potentially devastating tariffs. He called it 'a united team Canada approach.' Mr. Ford repeatedly pushed for retaliation if Mr. Trump follows through on his threat or if Canada is unable to reach a deal with the United States by Aug. 1 to eliminate the tariffs the United States has already applied on Canada.
