Focus Universal Inc. to Participate in Centri Capital Conference
Universal Smart Device: Revolutionizing IoT
The company's universal smart device, Ubiquitor, is a groundbreaking solution capable of connecting to any sensor or a vast number of independent sensors, theoretically without limit. When a moderate number of sensors are connected, the cost of the Ubiquitor, averaged across the sensors, becomes negligible. The effective cost, which approaches that of the sensors alone, represents just a fraction of the material costs of traditional devices. Additionally, the Ubiquitor's efficiency and cost-effective attributes are evident when coupled with Focus' platform system, whereby development costs are a fraction of traditional device development requirements, resulting in substantial savings in both raw material and development costs.
Transforming IoT Infrastructure
The universal smart platform which builds IoT infrastructure eliminates redundancy in IoT hardware and software design. Instead of starting from scratch, engineers can begin their IoT projects with a foundation which is 90% complete. This approach allows different IoT devices to share 90% of the same hardware and software, significantly lowering costs and simplifying design processes. Moreover, Focus' innovative universal smart App replaces the need for multiple IoT-specific apps without compromising functionality. Engineers no longer need to design separate apps for each IoT device, streamlining App development and reducing costs. This enables us to offer IoT platform to customers at a price significantly lower than the cost of developing their own solutions.
A Commitment to Innovation & Sustainability
'As a company dedicated to technological advancement, we are proud to present the universal smart device (Ubiquitor), the universal smart IoT platform, and our fully automated SEC financial reporting AI-driven software,' Dr. Desheng Wang, CEO of Focus Universal, commented.
'We believe our SEC Financial Reporting software is 1,000 times faster than traditional manual methods, showcasing the power of automation and AI-driven innovation, 'and Dr. Desheng Wang continued, 'We are excited to demonstrate these groundbreaking technologies at Centri 2025, fulfilling our commitment to our shareholders and the global tech community. We invite prospective customers, investors and shareholders to experience firsthand the remarkable power, efficiency, and potential of our technology at Centri Capital Conference 2025. We believe ourselves to be fortunate that the new tariffs do not directly affect us. Our SEC financial reporting technology, which targets customers in the United States, and our Universal Smart IoT platform, which serves a global customer base, are both service-oriented businesses and therefore not subject to tariffs.'
The Internet of Things (IoT) market size was valued at $540 Billion in 2022 and is projected to grow to $3.30 Trillion by 2030, exhibiting a CAGR of 26.1%. A published Cisco Systems company survey had revealed that three-quarters of IoT projects are failing, and a similar Microsoft company survey reported 30% of IoT projects failed in the early proof-of-concept stage. Focus Universal developed the universal smart IoT technology aimed to overcome these challenges.

1 Jaw-Dropping Stat Palantir Investors Must Know
Palantir's artificial intelligence (AI) software has been popular for decades. The company's U.S. commercial revenue growth rate is impressive. The stock carries a hefty price tag. 10 stocks we like better than Palantir Technologies › Palantir's (NASDAQ: PLTR) stock has defied logic since its bull run began in 2024. The stock is up a mind-boggling 700% since the start of 2024, making anyone who invested in Palantir's stock and held on quite satisfied. While that's an impressive statistic, it's not the one I think investors should focus on. This statistic could make or break the Palantir investment thesis, and both potential Palantir buyers and current shareholders must be aware of its significance. Palantir is another company that's heavily investing in the artificial intelligence (AI) arms race. While most companies only started launching products in recent years, Palantir and its AI-powered data analytics platform have been doing it since the early 2000s, giving the company a leg up. Originally, its software was intended for government use and reportedly helped take down Osama bin Laden; it has also been used for other tasks, such as optimizing vaccine distribution during the COVID-19 pandemic. Eventually, management decided that there was a potential use case for Palantir's platform on the commercial side, and they were correct. Although government revenue still makes up the majority of Palantir's financial picture, commercial revenue also plays a big part. In Q1, the commercial side generated $397 million (up 33% year over year) versus the government sector's $487 million (up 45% year over year). Considering how mature the government side of its business is, it may come as a surprise that it outperformed the commercial side; however, this is primarily due to poor international performance on the commercial side. Outside the U.S. and China, the world has been fairly slow to adopt AI. For example, Palantir's U.S. commercial revenue increased 71% to $255 million in Q1. That's a significant mismatch from the overall commercial growth rate, especially when considering that U.S. revenue accounted for approximately two-thirds of total commercial revenue. If the rest of the world (specifically Europe) starts to adopt AI, Palantir's growth rate could accelerate to an even faster rate, which could send the stock rocketing higher. However, this isn't the key metric I think investors should be focusing on. Instead, investors need to examine Palantir's valuation and determine what assumptions are already reflected in the stock price. In Q1, Palantir's overall revenue rose 39% year over year. However, the stock has increased by over 700% since the start of 2024. Those two numbers are completely mismatched and suggest that Palantir's soaring valuation is more a result of its rising stock price than its actual business performance. When a stock becomes uncoupled from the business, that's a problem, and it could lead to issues with Palantir's stock moving forward. Currently, Palantir's stock trades at a jaw-dropping 112 times sales. Most software companies trade at a multiple of 10 to 20 times sales, so Palantir is significantly outside this range. Furthermore, this isn't the first time stock investors have seen a company trade for more than 100 times sales. However, most stocks that achieved that valuation were doubling or tripling the revenue year over year, and Palantir isn't anywhere close to that. I'd challenge investors to find a stock that has traded for more than 100 times sales (that didn't go public with little to no revenue) that has worked out for investors over the long term; I can't find any. Palantir has found itself in a problematic spot, and the only way forward is to grow its way into a higher valuation or suffer a painful stock price correction. For Palantir's stock to reach a more reasonable (but still very expensive 20 times sales), it would need to grow its revenue by more than 550%. At today's current 39% growth rate, that would take over five years of growth with the stock price staying flat. That would lead to disappointing returns for investors, so I think investors must be aware of the extreme valuation of Palantir's stock and take action. If you've ridden Palantir up, it's not a bad idea to sell some (or all) of your shares. If you're a prospective Palantir shareholder, I'd suggest steering clear, as there is just too much hype built into Palantir's stock for it to deliver solid long-term returns.

Meet the leaders of MBB, the consulting giants advising the world's most powerful CEOs
You might not know their names, but they likely have the ear of many powerful CEOs. They're the leaders of what are widely considered the most prestigious strategy consulting firms: McKinsey & Company, Bain & Company, and Boston Consulting Group, which are collectively referred to as the Big 3, or MBB. MBB firms are often tough places to land a job, and their consultants are some of the most sought-after in the industry. They're the people tech giants like Microsoft, Amazon, and Apple — as well as government agencies — turn to for advice on things like mergers and acquisitions, business strategy, and AI adoption. MBB consultants have also gone on to lead some of the world's biggest companies. So, who's leading the nearly hundred thousand employees across these influential firms? Here's a look at the leaders at McKinsey, Bain, and BCG. McKinsey — Bob Sternfels Bob Sternfels is the global managing partner and chair of the board of directors at McKinsey, which is headquartered in New York City and has offices around the world. The firm employs about 40,000 people. Senior partners first elected Sternfels in 2021 and re-elected him to a second three-year term in 2024. Sternfels grew up in California's Central Valley and has worked at McKinsey since 1994, when he joined the San Francisco office. Prior to becoming global managing partner, he led McKinsey's client capabilities around the world. Before that, he ran the operations practice for the Americas and the private equity and principal investors practice globally. He studied economics and history at Stanford University, where he also played Division I varsity water polo. Sternfels has said on several occasions that his sports background has influenced his leadership style. He got his master's in politics, philosophy, and economics at the University of Oxford, where he was a Rhodes Scholar. Sternfels recently told Business Insider that humor and vulnerability are some of his key leadership tools. He also said he likes to take small groups on walks when visiting McKinsey offices because it can help folks open up. "A little levity — a joke at your own expense, a lighthearted moment — can go a long way toward building trust, breaking down barriers, and democratizing the team room," he said. When he was elected global managing partner, the firm said Sternfels was often described as organized, proactive, and a systems thinker. Under his leadership, McKinsey has navigated the AI revolution, launching QuantumBlack, the firm's AI consulting arm. During his tenure, McKinsey has also faced scrutiny for earlier advising Purdue Pharma on how to boost sales of OxyContin. Sternfels testified before Congress in 2022, and the firm has paid about $1.6 billion in recent years to settle legal claims. McKinsey has also recently reduced its staff by 10%, BI reported in May. The firm said at the time that the reorganization was in part due to AI driving new levels of efficiency and that it planned to hire thousands of new consultants in 2025. Bain & Company — Christophe De Vusser Christophe De Vusser is the worldwide managing partner, CEO, and chairman of Bain & Company, which is based in Boston and has about 19,000 employees globally. The company was founded in 1973. Before taking on the role in July 2024 and moving to New York, De Vusser was a partner based in Brussels, where he led Bain's private equity practice for Europe, the Middle East, and Africa. De Vusser is the first European to hold the role of worldwide managing partner and CEO, the company said in a 2024 press release. De Vusser, who first joined Bain in 2000, began his career at the consumer products giant Procter & Gamble, maker of Tide detergent and Crest toothpaste. De Vusser has master's degrees in civil engineering and multilingual business communication from the University of Ghent, according to Bain. De Vusser's rise to the top role comes as the firm's business is evolving because of tech advances. In December, Bain said tech and "AI-enabled revenue" accounted for 30% of the company's business in 2024. Bain expects that revenue to climb to 50% in the coming years. In a Bain podcast, De Vusser said the firm's clients are grappling with massive amounts of change, including around artificial intelligence. It's a technology, he said, that's still in its early days. "It will continue to mature at immense speeds, we believe, in the coming decades," he said on the podcast. De Vusser has also written about AI. In a recent LinkedIn post, he pointed to Bain research that found fewer than 20% of companies had "meaningfully scaled" generative AI. The reason, he said, is that many organizations tend to view AI "primarily as a technology initiative rather than using it as a catalyst to fundamentally reimagine their business." For organizations to get it right, De Vusser wrote, they need to simplify key processes, use technology so that it fits with strategic goals, and enable workers to use AI. Boston Consulting Group — Christoph Schweizer BCG CEO Christoph Schweizer described his leadership style in a video produced by the company: "Values-led, empathetic, transparent, curious," he says. The firm elected Schweizer for a second term this year. BCG says its reelection process is "unique." All 1,500 managing directors and partners have an equal vote when choosing a CEO. Schweizer, who first became CEO in 2021, joined BCG in 1997, according to his biography on the firm's website. He holds an MBA from the University of Texas at Austin's McCombs School of Business and a Bachelor's degree from the WHU Otto Beisheim School of Management in Germany. During his tenure, BCG has grown in several areas, including the firm's investments in AI — which accounted for bout 20% of the firm's total revenue in 2024 and are expected to grow this year, according to a press release from BCG. Schweizer has also navigated some controversies during his tenure, including two recent projects related to the Gaza conflict. BCG backed out of a multimillion-dollar American-Israeli project to deliver aid in Gaza that was marked by violence. And two senior BCG leaders were demoted for their role in another project that modeled the potential cost of relocating Palestinians from the territory. One of the firm's biggest challenges moving forward, Schweizer says in the company interview, will be helping clients embed AI. "To seize the opportunity, our clients need to fundamentally redefine operating models, value chains, decision-making, and end-to-end processes, while protecting themselves from associated risks, such as info security," he said. Another major focus for BCG is sustainability, he said. "Companies and governments will have to get serious about decarbonization extremely fast: setting the right targets, reduction mechanisms, metrics, and enforcement," Schweizer said.
