CEO says Our stock is 'stupidly cheap' and represents a massive disconnect from our current fundamentals
TORONTO, ON / ACCESS Newswire / March 31, 2026 / Nextech3D.ai (OTCQB:NEXCF)(CSE:NTAR)(FSE:1SS) ("Nextech3D.ai" or the "Company"), a leader in generative AI-powered event solutions and 3D modeling, announced that its CEO, Evan Gappelberg, has purchased an additional 500,000 common shares of the Company through open market purchases at an average price of $0.12 CAD per share or .09 USD.
Following this acquisition, Mr. Gappelberg now beneficially owns or controls more than 30 million common shares of the Company. This purchase was made for investment purposes and reflects the CEO's continued confidence in the Company's AI-driven growth strategy and the accelerating enterprise adoption of its event technology platform.
Management Commentary "I am continuing to increase my ownership in Nextech3D.ai because I believe our current market valuation does not reflect the significant operational milestones we have achieved in early 2026," said Evan Gappelberg, CEO of Nextech3D.ai.
"In my view, our stock is 'stupidly cheap' and represents a massive disconnect from our current fundamentals. We are seeing a high-conviction setup in the AI event software space, and I believe a re-rating could happen as soon the market begins to price in our record 95% gross margins and 59% year-over-year revenue growth. With our unified AI Event Operating System gaining traction with Tier 1 clients, I see this as an asymmetric opportunity to build my position while the valuation remains at these levels."
Operational Momentum The Company has reported a strong start to 2026, recently achieving profitability in its Krafty Labs division and securing 50 new customer contracts since January. The Company's unified AI platform is increasingly being utilized by Fortune 1000 companies for registration, interactive mapping, and AI-driven engagement tools. Management believes the shift toward high-margin SaaS revenue and the implementation of a recent 20-30% price increase positions the Company for sustained scalability within the $1.5 trillion global events industry.
