Greenridge Global: Positive Developments At Society Pass Inc. (Nasdaq: SOPA) Overlooked By The Market

MWN-AI** Summary

Greenridge Global recently published a positive equity research report on Society Pass Inc. (Nasdaq: SOPA), highlighting significant advancements in the company's operations, particularly through its subsidiaries NusaTrip Inc. (NUTR) and Thoughtful Media Group Inc. (TMGX). The report identifies NusaTrip's substantial growth following its recent IPO, which raised $17.25 million, bolstered by strategic shifts towards the B2B sector and partnerships with major OTAs like Agoda. Currently, NusaTrip has achieved over $100 million in quarterly gross merchandise volume, with expectations for continued growth as it expands its offerings.

Thoughtful Media, although facing delays in its own IPO, is pivoting from a declining multi-channel network (MCN) model to focus on its more profitable premium offerings, aiming for increased user engagement across social platforms. Greenridge's analysis assigns a conservative valuation of $52 million to SOPA's 13 million shares of TMGX, in line with ongoing strategic changes aimed at market expansion.

Additionally, Society Pass plans to enter the AI sector through acquisitions, a move the firm welcomes as it diversifies its portfolio further. The report reflects positively on the company’s operational restructuring and management's cost-control initiatives, reinforcing confidence in SOPA’s leadership.

Financial projections estimate revenue to reach $7.4 million in 2025 with an expected loss of $0.15 per share, transitioning to earnings of $0.16 per share in 2026. Despite currently trading below net cash, Greenridge has maintained a "Buy" rating on SOPA while adjusting the target price from $45 to $25 amid the ongoing IPO processes, sensing untapped value in the company's innovative growth strategies. Overall, Greenridge remains optimistic about Society Pass's direction and growth potential in the Southeast Asian market.

MWN-AI** Analysis

Based on the recent equity research report from Greenridge Global LLC, Society Pass Inc. (Nasdaq: SOPA) presents a compelling investment opportunity, particularly as the market appears to be undervaluing its potential.

One of the key highlights from the report is the significant growth of NusaTrip Inc. (Nasdaq: NUTR), which has recently completed its IPO. NusaTrip's strategic pivot from B2C to B2B, coupled with partnerships with major players like Agoda, has led to impressive growth metrics, including over $100 million in GMV on a quarterly basis. This trajectory is expected to accelerate as they expand into higher-margin products and services. With SOPA holding 14 million shares of NUTR, currently valued at $9.00 per share, this asset alone represents a substantial portion of SOPA's total valuation, estimated at around $126 million.

Moreover, Thoughtful Media Group Inc. (Nasdaq: TMGX) is on the brink of its IPO, promising further valuation uplift for SOPA. Despite delays in its listing process, TMG's shift towards premium services presents a higher-margin growth opportunity, underscoring SOPA's strategic positioning in the media landscape. Greenridge values SOPA’s 13 million shares of TMGX at $52 million, which provides a conservative estimate given the potential capital influx from the IPO.

Additionally, SOPA's strategic move into AI by acquiring software and infrastructure firms reflects a proactive approach to enhancing operational efficiency and market presence in this rapidly evolving sector. With expectations of immediate growth from NusaTrip and long-term benefits from AI integration, SOPA’s 2026 revenue projections appear optimistic against a backdrop of diligent cost management and cash reserves.

Despite the current trading conditions affecting stock valuations, Greenridge’s reduction of the target price to $25.00 suggests an attractive entry point for investors. The anticipated lifting of trading halts and SOPA's strong operational outlook positions it favorably for both short-term rebound and long-term growth. Therefore, maintaining a buy rating seems prudent—investors should consider SOPA as a potential beneficial addition to their portfolios.

NEW YORK, Dec. 23, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Society Pass Incorporated (Nasdaq: SOPA) (“SOPA” or the “Company”), Southeast Asia’s (SEA) next generation e-commerce ecosystem, today highlights a recent equity research report on Society Pass Inc. from Greenridge Global LLC (“Greenridge”) as published on December 22, 2025.

Summary Points from Greenridge’s Report:
NusaTrip Completes IPO & Forges Ahead with Growth Plans: NusaTrip Inc [Nasdaq: NUTR] completed its IPO on August 18, 2025, raising a total of $17,250,000. Over the last two years, NusaTrip veered from the B2C channel and refocused on B2B, partnering with Agoda and other OTAs on flights and deepening relationships with airline carriers around SEA. This was done while redeveloping its software to enable it to be the low-cost provider with the biggest supply on SEA routes, which has led to significant growth over the course of 2025, including over $100 million in GMV with Agoda on a quarterly basis. This top and bottom-line growth should only accelerate after it connects with Agoda for hotels, and expands its higher margin ancillary products and services, like seat selection and travel insurance. As it continues to build its airline and hotel relationships, Greenridge expects NusaTrip to eventually move into the higher margin B2C space. NUTR is currently priced at $9.00 per share, giving a value to SOPA of $126,000,000, based on the 14.0 million shares it holds. Unfortunately, NUTR’s stock seems to have been swept up in the trading halts that have hit other recently listed companies, with the key difference being that those companies had been doing little in terms of press releases, conference presentations, and investor outreach. Greenridge expects the halt to be lifted in the near future.

TMG Set For IPO: Thoughtful Media Group Inc’s [Nasdaq: TMGX] IPO has been in the works for some time, but appears to have been slowed by the shutdown and delays with Nasdaq, which seems to be the case for many listings. The underlying business has undergone changes, with the MCN business in decline. TMG is focusing on maintaining its MCN business by expanding into other channels, like Facebook and TikTok, while offering more incentives and perks to content creators. More importantly, the much higher margin Premium business has become the focus of TMG, and should see increased demand around SEA from recent marketing efforts and from business coming via NusaTrip and its partners. Of the roughly $17,250,000 being raised in the IPO, TMG plans to use the funds for M&A and market expansion opportunities. At a possible $4.00 IPO price (the low end of the range), TMG would have a pre-money valuation of $71.2 million. SOPA has had to escrow 3,000,000 shares of TMG relating to a court case filed in 2019 over a stock warrant. From a valuation standpoint, to be conservative, Greenridge believes SOPA’s 13,000,000 shares of TMG could be valued at $52,000,000.

Entering The AI Business Via Acquisitions: Last week, the Company announced it would acquire and operate AI software and infrastructure companies in SEA, Europe and North America. The demand in this space, using the cash and listed vehicle to enter this market seems like a reasonable next step. Management has been unable to disclose its plans in greater detail, but noted in the press release that deals are expected in the next few months.

Model Update: Greenridge’s updated model reflects corporate overhead and the financial results from SOPA’s two key operating assets, NusaTrip and Thoughtful Media. Greenridge’s new estimates call for 2025 Revenue of $7.4 million with a loss of $0.15 per share, and $0.16 per share of earnings in 2026 on Revenue of $18.2 million. Greenridge believes the Company’s potential 2026 growth is a reflection of the strong growth potential expected with NusaTrip from its flight and hotel expansion with Agoda, and should be a starting point for the potential NUTR has to expand its business.

Operational Right-sizing & AI Integration: From a corporate standpoint, management has replaced numerous back-office jobs with AI and invested in software upgrades that are helping NusaTrip in particular grow. Greenridge visited SOPA’s office twice in the second half of 2025 and can attest that management is running a tight, cost control focused operation. The Company has seen management and Board changes, however based on meetings and conversations with CEO Ray Liang and CFO Yee Siong Tan, along with NusaTrip’s CEO Anson Neo, Greenridge is confident in the direction of the Company. SOPA has financed operations through small private placements, and more recently, a $1.88 million ATM offering and a $4.3 million convertible note, with funds going to cover IPO-related fees for NUTR and TMGX.

Maintaining Rating & Reducing Target Price: There have been numerous updates since Greenridge’s last report, and Greenridge believes that the Company seems to be in a strong position with cash on hand after the first of its two IPOs, what looks to be a very strong NusaTrip business with a lot of blue sky ahead, and the potential for value add acquisitions in the AI space. The stock seems to be pricing none of this in as it trades below net cash. Greenridge is optimistic on the near term and long-term outlook on Society Pass and its operating assets, and as such are reiterating our Buy rating. Based on valuation, Greenridge is reducing its target price from $45.00 to $25.00 given the changes since the last update. Greenridge’s target price is based on the current market value of SOPA’s holding in NUTR shares, and 50% of the expected IPO value of its shareholding in TMGX (excluding the escrowed shares). Greenridge believes that the discount is likely due to the fact the second IPO has not yet completed.
