Tern seems to be well placed as IoT technology is only expected to grow even further in the coming years. Oil and gas related stocks like Falcon are dependent on oil price and supply-demand trends. Oil prices are going to be impacted by another hurricane in the US after Hurricane Ida and may also get impacted with US inflation data set to be reported later today.
