PALM BEACH, Florida, September 7, 2018 /PRNewswire/ --

FinancialNewsMedia.com News Commentary 

Under the administration of President Donald Trump, the U.S. stock market has been on an amazing growth run. Corporate earnings have been up, GDP growth has been strong, and unemployment is near historic lows. Tech shares have benefited most from President Donald Trump's saber-rattling trade strategy, outperforming other sectors by a large margin. The FANG+ Index (INDEXNYSEGIS: NYFANG) (NYBOT:FNG=F) consisting of a select group of 10 next generation tech-enabled stocks, is up more than 37% since it began trading on September 26. Today's commentary focuses on four standout equities that have outpaced the FANG+ Index: Generation NEXT Franchise Brands (OTC:VEND), Domino's Pizza (NYSE:DPZ), BeiGene (NASDAQ:BGNE) and SolarEdge (NASDAQ:SEDG).

Generation Next Franchise Brands, Inc. (OTCQB:VEND) stock has leapt 90%+ since the FANG's creation on September 26, 2017. Business owners large and small have turned towards robotic technologies to keep labor costs down as a result of President Trump's policy of discouraging manufacturers from leaving the United States. VEND is the developer of the world's first frozen yogurt and ice cream dispensing robotic kiosk designed to disrupt brick and mortar competitors: Menchies and Yogurtland. These "unattended" robots eliminate the need for costly rents, employees, food safety measures and are capable of operating 24-hours a day.

"Unattended cashless retail" may sound futuristic, like a driverless car, but in reality, it is a thriving segment of the economy that is forecasted by ResearchAndMarkets.com to grow to $34 billion by 2023. In the absence of a cashier and the typical brick-and-mortar retail environment, cashless unattended retail attracts more customers more frequently who spend more by eliminating slow-moving employees.

Since its debut, the company has secured contracts and commitments for approximately 4,700 robot kiosks worth an estimated $188 million in potential future revenues. With robot manufacturing having begun at the end of last quarter and installations being rolled out to the first 32 North American cities, Generation NEXT has started converting their $188 million in presale revenue to revenue recognized.
