OTC Markets Group Inc. (OTCQX:OTCM) announced that American Tungsten Corp. (OTCQB:DEMRF) began trading on the OTCQX Best Market on Friday under the symbol ‘TUNGF' after upgrading from the OTCQB Venture Market. The Canadian exploration and development company said the move is intended to expand its visibility among US investors as it advances its flagship IMA Mine, a past-producing tungsten project in Idaho.
OTC Markets Group Inc. delivered solid Q1 results with 14% revenue growth and strong operational leverage, but market sentiment remains tepid. OTCM's MOON ATS platform and expansion of non-US listings, especially in Europe, are strategic growth drivers, yet they lack the high-growth narrative captivating current markets. Despite robust profitability—25.5% operating margin, no debt, and active buybacks/dividends—OTCM's low-beta profile is overshadowed by AI-driven market enthusiasm.
