Sharps Technology's CEO has announced a corporate update highlighting the latest developments that are expected to influence the company's growth in 2025 and future years. The company has recently closed a successful $20 million financing round in January, using the funds to strengthen its balance sheet by providing working capital for operational and capital expenditures, as well as paying down its existing debt. The CEO's update also mentions agreements related to SecureGard and SoloGard, and revenue developments from the company's manufacturing operations in Hungary.

Sportsman's Warehouse Holdings, Inc. saw a sharp rise in their shares in pre-market trading due to stronger-than-expected earnings and sales results for the fourth quarter. This was attributed to their fourth-quarter revenue of $340.4 million, exceeding analyst estimates of $329.61 million. Despite this, the total revenue was down by 8.1% compared to the previous year. The outdoor specialty retailer reported fourth-quarter adjusted earnings of four cents per share.

Sharps Technology has secured $20 million in financing to advance its manufacturing capabilities in Hungary. This will help to accelerate the shipments under existing agreements for its SecureGard and SoloGard products. The firm is therefore well-positioned to meet the growing demand for innovative injection solutions.
