Algorhythm Holdings, Inc. (Nasdaq: $RIME ), owner of Azure Energy and SemiCab Holdings, provided details of a 100 MW pyrolysis-to-power facility currently under development in western North Carolina, where the first phase is expected to generate 50MW and to be fully operational in approximately 24 months. Algorhythm Holdings, Inc. is a B2i Digital Featured Company. See the company's in-depth profile at: https://b2idigital.com/algorhythm-holdings-1 Azure has two clearly defined paths to additional value from the project in the future: • If the project is completed as scheduled, the Company expects to earn in excess of $4 million in EBITDA annually through its minority equity stake once the facility is operational in late 2028 • Alternatively, the project could be sold upon completion of final permitting, with an estimated value of up to $70 million, based on an assumed valuation of approximately $1 million per powered acre, consistent with Colliers' 2026 U.S. Data Center Marketplace Report • If sold, Azure would receive approximately $7 million for its equity stake, plus additional fee income for managing the transaction On the wider portfolio, "Our North Carolina project is one of three active, highly attractive projects our team is helping advance today," commented Andrew Thompson, CEO of Algorhythm Holdings.

Based on existing contracts, Azure is forecast to earn approximately $3 million in fee income in 2027. The facility will convert regional woody biomass into firm, dispatchable electricity and water. The project is divided into two separate timelines and deliverables, and the second phase would double the production capacity to 100MW and would require an additional 12 months to come online thereafter. The facility will be able to produce baseload capacity around the clock, which makes it suitable for industrial and advanced manufacturing users that cannot tolerate intermittency or curtailment.

$QXO daily price watching = ouch. But expected, yea? I mean just look at what $URI and $XPO went through.

TD Cowen identified Knight-Swift Transportation and XPO as its preferred freight and logistics stocks heading into earnings season, despite elevated diesel prices and driver-related cost pressures. The firm said freight momentum remains largely supply-driven, while driver-safety issues are being addressed through the courts. Private transportation and logistics executives are increasingly optimistic about fourth-quarter demand and expect double-digit full-truckload contract-rate growth in 2027. TD Cowen favors Knight-Swift despite cooling spot-market trends in Q3 and rising driver and energy costs. Driver availability remains a major cost headwind for truckload carriers, particularly in the second half of the year. XPO is also a preferred pick, with less-than-truckload carriers benefiting most from fuel-surcharge revenue. TD Cowen expects XPO to modestly beat Q3 expectations and deliver better-than-seasonal margin progression in Q4 as company initiatives continue. $KNX $XPO

$XPO Worth being precise about what the dyed diesel order does and does not do. It waives a tax. It does not produce a single additional gallon of fuel. The supply situation on December 31, when the waiver expires, is the same supply situation as today unless refining capacity comes back somewhere.
