Hello everyone!

🤑 Dividends update
🥧 Portfolio update
🎁 Unity Update
🤑 Dividends update
Month of Jan has already been exciting, I have gotten huge cheques from VICI 0.00%↑ , QYLD 0.00%↑ which will be invested again on.
Thanks to M1, I now don’t need any sheet to track incoming dividends. I am expected to get around $9.6k in dividends alone in 2025.
🥧 Portfolio update
2025 was year of changes, I made significant updates to my portfolio. I sold a bit of VICI and QYLD to go buy several stocks. Here is how my new portfolio looks like:
I have added the likes of TSLA 0.00%↑, NFLX 0.00%↑, CRM 0.00%↑, MSFT 0.00%↑, META 0.00%↑, and AMZN 0.00%↑
🎁 Unity Update
Unity is what I have been targeting ever since its IPO, it is one of my largest holdings and since the data mess up in 2022, now stock seems to be recovering. Here is why I think Unity will sky rocket in 2025
Change in Management
Unity has undergone a significant leadership shakeup, which often signals a shift toward a fresh strategic direction. John Riccitiello, who previously led the company as CEO, stepped down in 2023 amidst shareholder concerns and operational challenges. His departure paved the way for James Whitehurst, a seasoned executive and former CEO of Red Hat, to take the reins as interim CEO. Whitehurst is widely recognized for his ability to drive innovation and operational efficiency, qualities that are critical for Unity’s next phase of growth.Sources: Unity Press Release
Appointment of Jim Payne as CPO for Advertising
Notably, Payne was a key figure in AppLovin’s meteoric rise, where he led the development of advertising products that dramatically boosted the company’s profitability and market presence. His deep understanding of ad tech and his ability to scale advertising platforms are invaluable assets for Unity as it looks to capitalize on its data-driven opportunities. Payne’s leadership is expected to revamp Unity’s advertising strategies, making them a pivotal revenue stream for the company.

Leveraging neural networks, this system is expected to revolutionize ad delivery for developers and advertisers alike.

Unity collects vast amounts of data from the games built on its platform. With over 3.5 billion app downloads per month, the scale of its data collection is unmatched.

Unity’s blend of innovative leadership, advanced AI initiatives, and unparalleled data access makes it a strong candidate for stock of the year in 2025.
