RTO
Rentokil Initial plc
stock NYSE ADR

How often does your work require you to be in the office? If it’s 5x per week, I would recommend to rent in BGC, get a cheaper car (automatic, hybrid if budget allows), and stay with your mom on weekends.
Also, I had an office mate who would stay in motels with his wife during their RTO days (3x per week, which means 2 nights in motels) and go back home to Bulacan (I think) during their WFH days and weekends. A lot cheaper than renting a place or hotel rooms. Tulugan lang talaga, though.
Time with family is precious.

It has no significant ongoing operations and is actively pursuing commercialization through field tests and partnerships.
Company Background and History
• Incorporation and Rebranding: Incorporated in 2019 as Veji Holdings Ltd., which operated as a plant-based e-commerce platform. Following a fundamental change transaction announced in July 2025, it rebranded to Plaid Technologies Inc. and shifted focus to graphene technology. Trading under STIF commenced on August 18, 2025, with no shareholder action required.
• Stock Split: A 4-for-1 forward stock split was announced on November 12, 2025, with shareholders of record as of November 21, 2025, receiving additional shares on November 25, 2025 (ex-date November 24, 2025).

• SEDAR Filings: Public filings, including the August 13, 2025, listing statement and annual financials for years ended March 31, 2025, and 2024, are available on SEDAR+. These detail the rebranding, minimal operations, and audited consolidated financial statements.

Business Description
Plaid is developing proprietary graphene technology for uniform dispersion in cement, aiming to produce expanded graphite for industrial use. Key claims include up to 50% stronger cement, 25% faster setting, improved water resistance, and reduced carbon emissions by lowering cement requirements. Target markets:
• Oil and gas infrastructure (e.g., wellbore remediation and plugging, addressing a $3.8B market).
• Construction and manufacturing for stronger, lighter materials.
• Energy storage systems. The technology is in early validation, with internal testing showing promising results, but commercial-scale performance is unproven. 16 The company is evaluating strategic alternatives, including asset or business acquisitions. It has a patent application pending for expanded graphite production.
Note: Some sources (e.g., older CSE profile) reference graphene-enhanced concrete, but recent updates emphasize well plugging and industrial composites.
The company also provides M&A services like due diligence, valuation, RTO/IPO roadmaps, and CFO support as it grows.
Management and Key Personnel
• Dr. Ian Flint: Technical Advisor (appointed Feb 5, 2026), supporting graphene commercialization.
• Shawn Babcock: Chief Operating Officer (appointed Jan 20, 2026). No additional executive bios or full board details are publicly highlighted in available sources.
Financials
Plaid has no significant revenue or operations, classifying it as a development-stage entity. Limited data available:
• Income Statement (TTM): Revenue: N/A; Net Income: N/A; Diluted EPS: -0.0400 CAD; Profit Margin: 0.00%.
• Balance Sheet: Total Assets/Liabilities/Equity: Not detailed; Price/Book (MRQ): 32.61.
• Cash Flow: Operating/Investing/Financing: N/A. Historical filings (e.g., March 31, 2025) show minimal activity post-restructuring. 34 Full audited statements are on SEDAR+.
Stock Performance and Valuation
• Current Metrics (as of Feb 17, 2026): Price: 0.5300 CAD (-3.64%); Volume: 26,642; Market Cap: 36.87M CAD; Enterprise Value: 38.11M CAD (as of Feb 13, 2026).
• 52-Week Range: 0.10–1.28 CAD.
• Returns: YTD: +55.88%; 1-Year: +285.45%; 3-Year: +748.00%; 5-Year: +94.56%. 15 Post-rebrand, the stock has seen extreme gains (e.g., +26,000% from lows), trading at multiples of its 200-day MA, attracting momentum traders.
• Valuation: Micro-cap with high volatility; no analyst ratings. Stockopedia rates it as “Neutral.”
Recent News and Developments
• Feb 5, 2026: Dr. Ian Flint appointed as Technical Advisor.
• Jan 30, 2026: Shipped graphene to Petro Flow for Q2 2026 U.S. well plugging tests.
• Jan 20, 2026: Shawn Babcock appointed COO.
• Jan 16, 2026: Advanced wellbore cement tech with new additive.
• Nov 12, 2025: 4-for-1 stock split.
• Aug 18, 2025: Trading commenced as STIF. Market discussions highlight upcoming Q2 2026 tests as potential catalysts, with emphasis on graphene’s role in decarbonizing infrastructure. Sentiment on X is bullish among traders, focusing on partnerships and proof-of-concept.
Risks and Considerations
• Early-stage risks: Unproven technology, reliant on field tests, IP protection, and commercialization.
• Financial: No revenue, negative EPS, potential dilution from reserved shares.
• Market/Regulatory: High volatility in micro-caps, dependent on market conditions, approvals, and competition in graphene space.
• Forward-Looking: No guarantees on business development or success.

Consider hotel with a free parking.
Then try your best that the two RTO are consecutive. I saved some money this way.
I travel up north and expressway fee is about 900. Gas is about 600 two way.
So staying in the hotel save me time and money
