Hyperfine trading spiked on algorithms caching ‘AI,' says B. Riley
B. Riley analyst Yuan Zhi reiterates a Buy rating on Hyperfine (HYPR) with a $1 price target after the company's premium Swoop received FDA 510k approval weeks ahead of schedule. The new next-generation MRI system includes a new scanner and Optive artificial intelligence software, producing the highest level of image quality and uniformity, the analyst tells investors in a research note. The firm says Hyperfine kept the hardware development confidential up until yesterday, so it is likely not on many investor radars. Riley points out the trading volume of Hyperfine on Monday was greater than 100M shares, more than the entire float. This trading abnormality could be related to trading algorithms catching the keyword 'AI,' the firm contends.

Hyperfine Stock Rises After FDA Clears Next-Gen Swoop MRI System
Hyperfine HYPR recently announced FDA 510(k) clearance for its next-generation Swoop Portable MR Imaging system. The clearance covers an entirely new portable magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) scanner powered by Hyperfine's proprietary OptiVu AI software, delivering the company's highest level of image quality, functionality, and usability to date. The FDA clearance strengthens Hyperfine's commitment to revolutionizing bedside imaging by enabling rapid, low-field MRI capabilities without the logistical hurdles of traditional systems. With enhanced workflow, usability, and advanced AI-driven imaging, the next-gen Swoop system is positioned to bring greater clinical utility and operational efficiency to hospitals and care teams. Following the announcement, shares of the company moved 41% north and closed at $0.85 on Monday's closing. Shares of the company have lost 3.4% in the year-to-date period compared with the industry's 9.7% decline. The S&P 500 has gained 0.4% in the same time frame. This FDA clearance positions Hyperfine for long-term growth by significantly enhancing the clinical appeal and marketability of its Swoop system, enabling broader adoption across hospitals, emergency departments, and global health systems. The improved image quality, AI-driven diagnostics, and ease of use make the system more competitive against conventional MRI, potentially accelerating sales, expanding reimbursement opportunities, and opening new revenue streams. HYPR currently has a market capitalization of $46.89 billion. In the trailing four quarters, HYPR delivered an average earnings surprise of 3.1%. Image Source: Zacks Investment Research The newly FDA-cleared next-generation Swoop Portable MR Imaging system represents a major technological advancement in bedside brain imaging. The system features a newly engineered hardware platform combined with the proprietary Optive AI software. This integration delivers the highest signal-to-noise ratio to date, resulting in exceptional image quality with improved resolution, uniformity, and faster acquisition times. These enhancements are designed to meet the growing demand for high-performance imaging solutions in varied healthcare environments where traditional MRI access is limited or delayed. The upgraded Swoop system is tailored to be user- and patient-centric. It is optimized to scan a broad patient population, including pediatric, elderly, or anxious individuals, making it highly valuable in settings where patient compliance and comfort are crucial. Its compact, mobile design eliminates the need for patient transport, enabling clinicians to acquire brain scans directly at the point of care. This capability is particularly beneficial in emergency departments, ICUs, neurology offices, and even rural or under-resourced locations. The system's development was shaped through collaboration with leading institutions such as Jefferson Abington, and is actively used in the Hyperfine-sponsored NEURO PMR study. Early results from these studies report highly positive feedback from clinicians and patients alike, with notable improvements in diagnostic efficiency and patient comfort. Per a report by Precedence Research, the global portable MRI market size accounted for $4.34 billion in 2025, and is expected to be worth around $7 billion by 2034, registering a CAGR of 5.44% between 2024 and 2034. Given the market potential, HYPR is likely to witness a boost in its imaging business with the FDA-cleared Swoop system. Currently, HYPR carries a Zacks Rank #3 (Hold).

UK–India FTA sets stage for cross-border leasing growth
The UK–India free trade agreement, signed on 6 May after three years of negotiation, lowers trade barriers across a wide range of goods and services. With India projected to become the world's third-largest economy by 2028, UK leasing providers are positioning themselves to finance bilateral trade flows and support small businesses navigating new export and import opportunities. To great fanfare, on May 6, the world's fourth and sixth-largest economies finally signed a free trade agreement (FTA) that was three years in the making. The FTA strengthens a strategic partnership with India, with particular significance in a post-Brexit, conflict-riven world of increased trade protectionism railroaded by the US Trump administration. India is an enticing market that is growing rapidly by around 6-7% per annum in real terms, putting it on course to become the third-largest economy in the world by 2028, according to the UK's Department for Business and Trade. By 2030, India's middle class will number an estimated 60 million, and rising, potentially reaching a quarter of a billion by 2050. Official statistics indicate that the UK exported £17.1 billion of goods and services to India in 2024, including goods worth £7 billion, and services amounting to £10.1 billion. The UK in turn imported £25.5 billion from India (£10.8 billion of goods and £14.7 billion of services). India accounted for 2% of all UK exports in 2024, and it was the UK's 12th largest export market. Meanwhile, India was the 11th largest source of UK imports, accounting for 2.8% of the total. India's overall demand for imports is projected to grow by 144% in real terms between 2021 and 2035, to reach £1.4 trillion, according to the government. The FTA thus represents an ambitious and comprehensive deal that, over the long run (by 2040), is expected to increase the UK's GDP by £4.8 billion, and the UK's wages by £2.2 billion each year, with bilateral trade rising by £25.5 billion each year. The deal represents a significant opportunity for Swoop Funding, a UK-based fintech platform serving SMEs, which has been growing since its launch in 2018 by Andrea Reynolds and Ciaran Burke and has significant global reach. The FTA is 'a promising move,' says Dave Cummings, the firm's head of vendor & asset finance, who notes the fact that India is a massive and fast-growing economy, so 'anything that makes it easier for UK businesses to trade, invest, or expand there is a win.' The Swoop team is preparing to assist UK firms in financing Indian equipment purchases through leasing and asset finance products, while supporting exporters with trade and working capital. 'We are well placed to support Indian businesses accessing UK suppliers and partners,' says Cummings, 'and we are exploring partnerships in the region to build on this momentum.' It will not have gone unnoticed that a recent International Business Report from Grant Thornton indicated that 42% of UK businesses surveyed without an existing presence in India plan to build one in the next two years. Moreover, of those with an existing presence in the Indian market, 96% plan to expand further. Some 72% of UK businesses surveyed say that an FTA would encourage them to explore the opportunities the country offers. Cummings believes that will bolster the asset financing sector, sparking fresh demand from UK firms looking to lease equipment for new export opportunities, or from those tapping into more affordable machinery coming from India. He expects to see demand increasing across several areas, with working capital, trade finance and, crucially, asset finance bolstered, as firms gear up to take advantage of the new opportunities the FTA offers. 'It is one of those deals that, if backed up by practical support, could really shift the dial for small- and medium-sized enterprises,' he says. The FTA plans to lower import tariffs on key products, with reductions on 90% of tariff lines for UK exports, to eventually make 85% fully tariff free within a decade. The deal includes aerospace, electrical machinery, electrical circuits and conductors, and food items, among the various sectors and products covered, with automotive tariffs of more than 100% lowered to 10% under a new quota arrangement. The UK will eliminate tariffs on 99% of Indian goods; among these are a range of manufactured products. Invariably, the British Chambers of Commerce welcomes the move, with the tariff reductions 'giving UK companies exporting to India a clear edge on increasing sales,' says William Bain, head of trade policy, who adds that 'the proposals for a follow-up Investment Treaty will also provide a solid platform to grow manufacturing and other sectors in our two economies.' There are new digital commitments to support electronic contracts and transactions, including support for SMEs to make it easier to enter the market. India has also agreed to release UK goods quickly at its customs points, provide a streamlined portal for trade, and publish all customs procedures and laws online in English. For the first time, UK businesses will be able to access the Indian procurement market worth more than £38 billion per annum. The automotive, construction, logistics and renewables sectors are likely to benefit, says Cummings, especially where firms need to upgrade or replace equipment, with a wave of competitively priced Indian machinery entering the UK market. That represents an opportunity, of course, to finance providers, 'helping customers acquire this new equipment through leasing, hire purchase, or other flexible arrangements,' while underlining the fact that 'It is also a chance to finance deals at both ends of the trade corridor.' Cummings sees the planned reduction in Indian import tariffs on UK vehicles and machinery as a big plus. 'It opens the door for leasing firms here to serve the growing Indian demand for high-quality kit.' Still, from a leasing standpoint, he says there is still a gap. More clarity on trade finance support, customs processes, and how smaller firms can access affordable cross-border finance would have been ideal. 'It's often these practical details that make or break a deal's impact for SMEs,' he says. 'We'd also like to see more accessible government-backed finance options, better awareness campaigns, and hands-on support to help businesses navigate red tape.' Without that, he says, the benefits of the deal risk being confined to bigger players.
