Perion Acquires an Advanced AI Company to Accelerate Market Share Expansion and Growth
Greenbids' technology creates custom bidding algorithms, specifically tailored for each brand, aligning every campaign with the KPIs that matter most to their business. It ensures that media investments are more efficient, performance-driven, and accountable. This not only improves outcomes but also gives brands greater control and transparency over how their budgets are spent. Greenbids brings a robust and growing client base of over 80 brands already using its platform, including Spotify, Ford, and Accor.
Spotify leveraged Greenbids' technology for their Wrapped Annual Marketing Initiative across 16 EMEA markets to enhance campaign performance at scale while reducing environmental impact, demonstrating how smart custom algorithms can drive both results and responsibility. Perion will bring this technology globally to leverage its U.S. presence in over 30 countries and deep relationships with agencies and advertisers.
Lara Faguais, Head of Global media partnerships & strategy at Accor shared: 'At Accor, we're always looking to partner with companies that embody innovation, creativity and performance. With Greenbids, we found a unique opportunity to reduce our carbon emissions while improving media campaign performance. The results speak for themselves—so much so that we've expanded the collaboration across multiple countries, multiple brands and channels.'
This acquisition expands Perion's addressable market significantly by adding walled garden channels such as YouTube, Facebook, and Instagram, together with AI-driven lower-funnel capabilities, complementing its existing strength in top and mid-funnel environments, including CTV, DOOH, and the open web. Greenbids' technology will be embedded into the Perion One platform, positioning Perion to capture a greater share of performance budgets and drive higher retention through brand-specific optimization at scale.
Tal Jacobson, Perion's CEO said: 'We see the acquisition of Greenbids as a quantum leap for the Perion One platform capabilities. We are taking another important step forward in advancing Perion One as the platform of choice for brands and agencies where media investment perfectly aligns with brand outcomes. Greenbids' technology adds a powerful layer of algorithmic intelligence tailored to each brand's unique goals. Combined with Perion's multi-channel reach, we now have a scalable advantage that can deliver optimized performance, which is specifically meaningful to advertisers and brands in uncertain financial environments, as we focus on reducing waste and increasing ROI on media spend.'
'We are excited to welcome the Greenbids team of industry experts to Perion and look forward to working together to unlock greater value for our clients and shareholders,' Jacobson added. 'It's important to note that the Greenbids product will be implemented immediately into the Perion Suite of solutions under the new name of Perion Algo, and the team will become part of the Perion team at day one, which will reduce any PMI challenges as these solutions continue to scale, and enabling our Sales team to introduce these solutions to a broader market quickly.'
Guillaume Grimbert, CEO and co-founder of Greenbids, said: 'In the past year, we started to hear more and more about Perion from Brands we interacted with which made us curious to understand their new solutions, which is now the Perion One Platform, and that initiated our initial partnership that led to this transaction. Joining Perion allows us to bring our technology into a company that shares our vision for smarter and more sustainable advertising. Together, we have a powerful opportunity to scale advertising intelligence globally and help more brands achieve meaningful business outcomes with greater transparency and impact.'
Transaction terms
The transaction terms include $27.5 million in cash paid upon closing, a two-year cash earnout of $22.5 million, and a 3-year employee retention of $15 million in cash and equity.
This deal structure reflects Perion's disciplined M&A approach — securing immediate access to transformative AI technology and a blue-chip client base while tying future consideration to performance and integration milestones. The earnout incentivizes continued growth and value delivery, ensuring strong alignment with Perion's strategy. Moreover, the retention component aimed to guarantee continuity of Greenbids' highly skilled team, who will support a successful integration and accelerate the combined offering.
In addition to the strategic rationale, the transaction is expected to be accretive to Perion's adjusted EBITDA and margins from day one. While initial integration begins immediately, the contribution to both adjusted EBITDA and revenue is expected to significantly accelerate from 2026 onward, driven by incremental synergies across technology, go-to-market, and scalability. By embedding Greenbids' advanced AI algorithm into the Perion One platform and leveraging existing infrastructure, we believe that Perion can enhance efficiency, expand its addressable market, and increase customer retention. By minimizing upfront risk and maximizing long-term upside, this transaction structure positions Perion to extract strategic and financial value from day one.

Prediction: Nvidia Stock Will Be Worth This Much by the End of 2025
Key Points Nvidia stock experienced an intense sell-off earlier this year, driven by uncertainty around tariffs and competition in China. Rising infrastructure spending by its largest customers suggests that demand remains strong across the artificial intelligence (AI) landscape. Despite a strong rebound over the last few months, valuation trends suggest that emerging AI opportunities may not be fully reflected in the share price yet. 10 stocks we like better than Nvidia › This year has been an emotional roller coaster for shareholders of Nvidia (NASDAQ: NVDA). Following the news of new tariffs, in combination with intensifying competition in China, the company's shares plummeted by as much as 30% earlier this year, wiping out nearly $1 trillion in market value. Such precipitous declines may have suggested that Nvidia's best days were in the rearview mirror, but the stock's more recent performance says otherwise. As of Aug. 7, it had rebounded by 93% from its 2025 lows and now has a market capitalization of $4.4 trillion, making it the most valuable company in the world. With such strong momentum fueling the stock to new highs, is it too late to invest in Nvidia? Read on to find out. Big tech is spending big bucks on Nvidia's chips Nvidia's largest source of revenue is its computing and networking business. This segment comprises the company's data center services and highly coveted graphics processing units (GPUs). A good way to gauge the health of its business is to look at spending on artificial intelligence (AI). The chart below illustrates capital expenditures over the last three years for cloud hyperscalers Amazon, Microsoft, and Alphabet, along with social media company Meta Platforms. These "Magnificent Seven" companies prove that accelerating AI infrastructure spending is a powerful tailwind for Nvidia's chip empire. Beyond the usual tech titan suspects, rising adoption of cloud infrastructure services from Oracle -- as well as neocloud platforms such as Nebius Group and CoreWeave -- offer another source for GPU demand, especially for Nvidia's latest Blackwell architecture. Neoclouds are gaining interest at the moment as they offer flexible software-hardware stacks in the form of high-performance computing (HPC) services and access to GPU clusters via cloud-based infrastructures. New opportunities are emerging Over the last few years, investors have repeatedly heard pundits chirp about the importance of data centers in powering generative AI development. This point is valid, but I think many investors are missing the broader picture when it comes to the evolution of AI infrastructure spending. A new phase of AI adoption involves sophisticated workloads across robotics, autonomous driving, and quantum computing. Companies such as Alphabet and Tesla are beginning to monetize their autonomous vehicles, while Microsoft, Alphabet, and Amazon are all developing their own custom quantum computing chips. Nvidia has just started to scale up its chips and CUDA software platform across these emerging opportunities. Given the company's existing deep integration with big tech, I'm optimistic that its product suite will still be crucial in future, more-advanced AI development. What will Nvidia stock be worth by the end of 2025? The chart below illustrates the company's forward price-to-earnings (P/E) multiple throughout the AI revolution. Given the trends cited above, the forward P/E range between 24 and 30 could be seen as a support zone or valuation floor for Nvidia. Each time its forward P/E dipped into this range, the stock has rebounded strongly. To me, this suggests that investors still see robust long-term growth for the company despite occasional fleeting periods of souring sentiment. I think these valuation trends subtly imply that the market could be underestimating the full breadth of Nvidia's ubiquitous platform. Despite the company's influence across AI infrastructure, many investors still view it purely through the lens of a semiconductor business. As these new opportunities are realized, I think the stock is well positioned for a prolonged breakout -- similar to the initial wave of AI-driven enthusiasm a couple of years ago. Although its forward P/E is fast-approaching prior highs, I think there is a solid case to be made that the company is positioned for further valuation expansion and could reach or exceed historical levels. My logic is that the monetization potential of future opportunities in robotics, autonomous vehicles, and quantum computing is still taking shape and not yet fully priced into the stock by investors. If Nvidia's current forward P/E expands to levels congruent with prior highs by the end of the year, the stock could blow past the $200 price point and reach closer to $220 -- implying an increase between 10% and 20% over current price levels. For this reason, I think Nvidia stock will be trading significantly higher by the end of the year than where it is today. Do the experts think Nvidia is a buy right now?

Draganfly Inc (DPRO) Q2 2025 Earnings Call Highlights: Strong Revenue Growth Amidst ...
Release Date: August 11, 2025 For the complete transcript of the earnings call, please refer to the full earnings call transcript. Positive Points Draganfly Inc (NASDAQ:DPRO) reported a 37% quarter-over-quarter increase and a 22% year-over-year increase in revenue for Q2 2025. The company achieved a 100% success rate with its Commander 3 XL plus Drops payload system at the US Army Cemex 25 event. Draganfly Inc (NASDAQ:DPRO) closed a $13.75 million public offering, significantly bolstering its balance sheet. The company was selected for a US Southern Border drone pilot program, showcasing its advanced drone capabilities. Draganfly Inc (NASDAQ:DPRO) secured a strategic military order for its Commander 3XL UAV systems, indicating strong demand in the defense sector. Negative Points The company reported a comprehensive loss of $4.7 million for the quarter, compared to a loss of $7.1 million in the same quarter last year. Gross margin decreased to 24.4% from 34.4% year-over-year, indicating pressure on profitability. Higher office and miscellaneous costs, wage costs, and share-based payments contributed to the increased loss. The company is still in the process of obtaining Blue List and Green List certifications, which could impact future sales. There are ongoing challenges in scaling production capacity to meet potential large contract demands. Q & A Highlights Warning! GuruFocus has detected 5 Warning Signs with DPRO. Q: Can you comment on Draganfly's status on the AUVSI green list and the impact of the new drone memo by Secretary Heeth on these classifications? A: Cameron Shell, CEO, acknowledged that initially, the importance of being on the Blue List was underestimated. Draganfly is now in the process of testing for the Blue List and has submitted for the Green List. Despite the delay, it hasn't hindered sales into defense and law enforcement. The focus remains on demonstrating capabilities, performance, and compliance with supply chain criteria. Q: With a healthy cash balance, what are Draganfly's plans for these funds? A: Cameron Shell, CEO, stated that the focus is on organic growth and scaling the ability to iterate quickly, which is crucial for maintaining a competitive advantage. While some M&A activity is being considered, the primary goal is to ensure customer confidence and support growth with a strong balance sheet. Q: How is Draganfly positioned in terms of production capacity to handle potential large contracts? A: Cameron Shell, CEO, explained that Draganfly has built up production capacity over the last couple of years, which was necessary to secure current orders. The company is also pursuing additional contract manufacturing capabilities to scale further, ensuring readiness for detailed customer requirements. Q: Has Draganfly seen increased interest from police departments adopting drones as first responders? A: Cameron Shell, CEO, noted significant interest, particularly from smaller and rural departments. While larger departments have been early adopters, the focus is on providing multi-mission drones to smaller agencies, which are quicker to move and have different budget constraints. Q: Could an end to the Ukraine conflict negatively impact Draganfly or the drone industry? A: Cameron Shell, CEO, believes that the conflict has highlighted the essential role of drones, and their use will likely continue to increase even if the conflict ends. The focus will shift to areas like ISR logistics, demining, and reconstruction, ensuring continued demand for diverse drone applications.
