FORT LAUDERDALE, Fla., July 21, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Stewards Inc. (OTC: SWRD) ("Stewards" or the "Company") today provided a mid-year shareholder update highlighting the significant progress the Company has made across its business, operations, and public company initiatives during the first half of 2026.
Among the Company's recent milestones, the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission ("SEC") has declared Stewards' Registration Statement on Form S-1 effective, marking the successful completion of the SEC review process. The Registration Statement relates to the registration of securities previously issued by the Company and supports its broader capital markets strategy, including its intended Nasdaq Capital Market listing, subject to the satisfaction of all applicable Nasdaq listing requirements.
Since filing its Registration Statement, Stewards has continued executing its long-term growth strategy through a series of strategic initiatives, including:
- Completion of the Company's corporate rebrand from FAVO Capital to Stewards Inc.
- Establishment of its South Florida corporate headquarters through the acquisition of a 130,000-square-foot office campus.
- Expansion of the Company's real asset platform.
- Continued growth of its private credit platform.
- Investments in technology and artificial intelligence to enhance underwriting and operational capabilities.
- Strengthening of the Company's executive leadership team and Board of Directors.
- Continued investment in public company governance, financial reporting, and internal control infrastructure.
Together, these initiatives reflect Stewards' disciplined execution and continued evolution into a diversified financial platform positioned for long-term growth.
"The first half of 2026 has been one of the most important periods in our Company's history," said Shaun Quin, Chief Executive Officer and President of Stewards Inc. "While completing the SEC review process was an important milestone, it represents just one part of the broader progress we've made across the organization. We've continued executing our strategy, strengthening our platform, investing in our people and technology, and positioning Stewards for its next stage of growth. We remain focused on disciplined execution and creating long-term value for our shareholders."
"Over the past year, we've strengthened the financial infrastructure, reporting processes, governance framework, and internal controls expected of a public company," said Katy Murless, Chief Financial Officer of Stewards Inc. "Those investments were made to support the Company's long-term strategy and reflect our commitment to building a scalable organization with a strong financial and operational foundation."
"This update reflects much more than a series of individual milestones," said Glen Steward, Chairman of the Board. "It demonstrates the progress we've made in building a stronger company with experienced leadership, disciplined governance, and a diversified business model. We believe the foundation we've established positions Stewards well for the opportunities ahead."
