ReFuel, founded in 2016 and based in Ontario, Canada, specializes in direct-to-vehicle and direct-to-equipment fuel delivery, serving commercial and industrial clients across transportation, construction, logistics, telecom, municipalities, dealerships, and industrial fleet sectors.
ReFuel has demonstrated an exceptional growth trajectory, ranking #36 on the Globe and Mail's list of Canada's fastest-growing companies with a remarkable 1,166% three-year revenue growth. The company is currently profitable, showcasing the strength of its monthly recurring business model and contract-based operations with minimal customer churn.
Under the terms of the non-binding letter of intent, NextNRG will acquire 100% of ReFuel's stock payable in cash or NextNRG restricted common stock at NextNRG's discretion. The transaction includes retention of all current employees and management during a transitional period. Closing is expected by August 1, 2025, subject to completion of due diligence, audited financial statements, and execution of a definitive agreement.
'This strategic acquisition marks an important milestone as we extend NextNRG's mobile fueling leadership into international markets,' said Michael D. Farkas, Founder and CEO of NextNRG. 'ReFuel's proven track record of profitable growth, exceptional customer retention, and established market presence in Ontario positions us to capitalize on expanding opportunities across Canada. Their technology-driven approach and operational excellence align perfectly with our strategy of scaling AI-optimized energy solutions globally. The combination of this strategic addition with our accelerating organic growth gives us confidence that forward 12-month revenues of $100 million should be achievable.'
The acquisition builds on NextNRG's recent domestic expansion across six U.S. states with its fleet of 144 active fuel delivery trucks, and follows the company's strategic partnership with Hudson Sustainable Group and inclusion in the Russell 2000® and Russell 3000® indexes. ReFuel's proprietary AWS-hosted software platform for operations and customer scheduling will integrate with NextNRG's existing technology infrastructure to enhance service delivery and operational efficiency.
ReFuel currently serves the Greater Toronto Area (GTA), Hamilton, Oakville, London, and Kitchener markets with plans to expand into additional Ontario regions including Ottawa and Kingston, as well as Quebec markets including Montreal. The company holds TSSA certification and maintains full compliance with federal and provincial fuel handling and safety regulations. Refuel's customers include: Napa Auto Parts, Autos Canada, Magil Construction, and Fanshawe College.
'We're excited to join the NextNRG family and leverage their resources and technology to accelerate our expansion plans,' said Ashraf Ghadban, Co-Founder and CEO of ReFuel Mobile, who plans to stay on and assist with the transition. 'This transaction will enable Refuel to enhance its service offerings, expand its geographic reach, and continue delivering exceptional value to its growing customer base across Canada.'
The acquisition is expected to immediately contribute to NextNRG's recurring revenue base while providing a strategic platform for further expansion across Canada and potential entry into additional international markets. ReFuel's focus on innovation includes plans to expand into biofuels and bulk DEF solutions, aligning with NextNRG's commitment to advancing sustainable energy adoption.
NextNRG has demonstrated strong momentum, with preliminary May 2025 revenue of $6.6 million representing 148% year-over-year growth and marking the company's fifth consecutive record month. Year-to-date revenue through May reached approximately $28.89 million, already surpassing full-year 2024 revenue of approximately $27 million. The addition of ReFuel's established Canadian operations is expected to further strengthen NextNRG's position as a leader in the on-demand fueling industry while supporting the company's long-term strategy of building integrated energy ecosystems globally.

Toyota to Build EVs in Czech Republic by 2028

Toyota (NYSE:TM) will start building electric vehicles in Europe at a new Czech plant by 2028. It plans to churn out about 100K EVs a year at its Czech subsidiary, including a new electric SUV. The automaker wants to launch 14 battery?electric models across Europe by 2026 from a revamped C?HR+ SUV to an updated bZ4Xand hit carbon neutrality in the region by 2035. Right now, EVs account for under 2% of Toyota's global sales, so local assembly is a big shift in strategy. Warning! GuruFocus has detected 3 Warning Sign with TM. Through June, EU registrations for battery?electric cars topped 869,271 units, or 15.6% of the market. Germany led with a 35.1% surge, Belgium was up 19.5% and the Netherlands rose 6.1%, while France dipped 6.4%. Making cars in Europe could help Toyota cut logistics costs, sidestep import duties and respond faster as legacy brands and startups ramp up EV offerings. European?built EVs position Toyota to capture market share in the continent's fastest?growing segment and protect margins. Investors will look to Toyota's roll?out of 14 EV models by 2026 and the first Czech?built units in 2028 for clues on capital spending and profit impact. This article first appeared on GuruFocus.

Meta Faces Italy Probe Over WhatsApp AI

Meta Platforms (NASDAQ:META) sees Italy's antitrust watchdog taking a hard look at its AI?WhatsApp tie?up. Ask Italy's Competition Authority and you'll learn it opened a probe into bundling Meta AI within WhatsApp without users asking for it. Warning! GuruFocus has detected 5 Warning Sign with META. Working with the Special Antitrust Unit of the Italian Financial Police, AGCM even inspected Facebook Italy's offices last week. The regulator warns that forcing AI into a familiar chat app risks trapping users in services they didn't choose. Meta insists it's simply giving millions of Italians free access to AI where they already spend time, and says it's fully cooperating with investigators. Regulators aren't convinced. They fear that as Meta AI learns from chats and grows more useful, users will become dependentand competitors will be squeezed out. Under EU rules, fines could reach 10% of Meta's global turnover if the probe finds antitrust breaches. This investigation highlights Europe's tougher stance on default AI integrations and could force Big Tech to unbundle or face heavy penalties. Investors will be watching AGCM's findings through year?end as the outcome may set a precedent for AI bundling across the EU. This article first appeared on GuruFocus.
