Trump has pledged to "unleash" American oil and gas and these 15 US stocks have developments that are poised to benefit.

Expectations from some of the Australian Biotechs analysts is that Cynata Therapeutics is on the verge of breakeven. They anticipate the company to incur a final loss in 2026, before generating positive profits of AU$900k in 2027. The company is therefore projected to breakeven around 2 years from now. In order to meet this breakeven date, we calculated the rate at which the company must grow year-on-year. It turns out an average annual growth rate of 126% is expected, which is rather optimistic! If this rate turns out to be too aggressive, the company may become profitable much later than analysts predict.
