U.S. Global Investors, Inc. (GROW) has released its financial results for the third quarter of the fiscal year 2025, marking a challenging period for the company. With operating revenues reported at $2.1 million, the company faced a net loss of $382,000, translating to a loss of $0.03 per share. The total assets under management (AUM) experienced a steep decline, settling at $1.2 billion from $1.5 billion in the previous quarter. This decline poses a significant impact on the company's fee-generating ability.
Despite the financial setbacks, U.S. Global Investors is advancing with two strategic initiatives designed to enhance its investment portfolio. The company is focusing on increasing its exposure to the Bitcoin ecosystem through direct investment as well as acquiring shares in HIVE Digital Technologies (HIVE). This move aligns with the perceived favorable shift in U.S. regulatory attitudes toward digital assets.
In addition to the cryptocurrency strategy, GROW has transitioned its Travel UCITS ETF (TRIP) to an actively managed fund. The strategy shift will concentrate more heavily on the airline sector, reflecting the company's outlook on the global travel industry's growth potential. Along with these changes, GROW continues to pay a monthly dividend of $0.0075 per share, approved through June 2025, aiming to sustain shareholder yield at 10.5%.
The company's balance sheet remains robust with $26.3 million in cash and cash equivalents, providing a cushion for future opportunities amidst the ongoing revenue pressures. Moreover, GROW's WAR ETF, launched in December 2024, has gained attention against the backdrop of increased global defense spending, reaching $2.7 trillion in 2024.
As of March 31, 2025, GROW has repurchased 784,466 shares in the past year, marking a 12% increase year-over-year, demonstrating a commitment to shareholder value despite the financial challenges faced in the recent quarter.
