SINGAPORE, Sept. 15, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Genius Group Limited (NYSE American: GNS) ("Genius Group"- "GNS" or the "Company"), a leading AI-powered education group, today announced the release of a new Analyst Update Report from Diamond Equity Research, an issuer-sponsored equity research firm focused on small-capitalization companies, covering Genius Group's common stock.
Genius Group has worked with Diamond Equity Research ("DER") to perform independent research that will create greater awareness and exposure in the investment community for the Company's AI-powered education growth plans, net asset value per share strategy and dual AI and Bitcoin Treasury strategy.
Report Highlights
Notable highlights from the report include:
- Launch of the AI Treasury and the AGI Infinity Portfolio Reframes the Equity Story Around Artificial General Intelligence: The board authorized a Genius AI Treasury in May 2026, with the AGI Infinity Portfolio as its first vehicle and an initial envelope of up to $100 million across three phases. Phase 1 targets $20 million of pre-IPO exposure in SEC-registered closed-end interval funds, with look through to named frontier-AI private companies including SpaceX at 10.7%, Anthropic at 10.5% and OpenAI at 6.9%. Phase 2 contemplates $30 million into listed compute, power and semiconductor infrastructure and Phase 3 a further $50 million into second-order beneficiaries. Management's aspirational five-year plan grows the portfolio to $800 million by 2030 within a $2 billion balance sheet, held at or below 40% of total assets to remain outside the Investment Company Act of 1940.
- Net Asset Value per Share Adopted as the Key Metric, With the Shares at a Substantial Discount to Stated Book: Management has adopted net asset value per share, total assets less total liabilities divided by shares outstanding, as its primary shareholder metric, and intends to compound it by growing net assets through the operating businesses and the dual treasury while shrinking the denominator through buybacks and retirements. DER calculated net asset value per share of $0.61 based on estimated unaudited net assets of $106.6 million and 173.4 million shares at 30 June 2026. In June 2026 the company bought back 12.6 million shares and cancelled a further 20 million, together equivalent to approximately 27% of the float, a further 30.1 million shares have been identified for retirement, and the ICC arbitration awarded the recovery of 7.4 million shares and $8.0 million of cash against LZG International.
- Profitability Achieved Through H1 2026 Following the FY 2025 Restructuring: Genius Group reported unaudited operational revenue of $3.3 million in the first quarter of 2026, up 171% year-over-year, and $3.2 million in the second quarter, up 112%, taking first-half operational revenue to approximately $6.5 million. Gross profit rose 228% and 978% respectively across the two quarters, with first quarter gross margin improving to 62% from 52%, while net profit from operations reversed from losses of $0.5 million and $2.3 million in the prior-year periods to profits of $2.7 million and $4.3 million. Adjusted EBITDA from operations was positive in both quarters, at $0.6 million and $0.3 million against negative $0.4 million and negative $0.6 million a year earlier. DER highlights that these figures cover the three operating business units only and exclude central treasury gains and losses and central financing, investing, legal and management items, so they are not directly comparable with the audited group accounts. Alongside the operating improvement the company sold the remainder of its Bitcoin treasury during the first quarter and repaid its $8.5 million of debt in full, materially de-risking the capital structure ahead of the treasury relaunch.
- Valuation - $1.54: DER's valuation of Genius Group is based on a sum-of-the-parts framework that separates the operating education business from the newly authorized dual treasury. DER values Part A, the core EdTech business, at $262.5 million of equity, weighting a DCF at 90%, discounted at a 12.4% rate, and a guideline public company analysis at 10%, applying a 2.34x cohort EV/Sales multiple to DER's FY 2026 revenue estimate of $19.0 million, or $1.51 per share on 173.4 million shares. Part B, the treasury, carries $17.8 million of assets pro forma for the proposed $12.5 million perpetual preferred tranche, which ranks senior, leaving $0.03 per share. DER's blended framework derives an illustrative valuation of $1.54 per share, contingent on continued financing access and successful execution.
