Genius Group acquires stake in Bali education projects for $7.1 million

SINGAPORE - Genius Group Limited (NYSE American:GNS) has acquired a 51% ownership stake in two Bali-based education projects at a combined valuation of $14 million, according to a press release statement issued Monday. The acquisition represents a significant investment for the company, which currently has a market capitalization of approximately $63 million according to InvestingPro data.

The AI-powered education company completed share purchase and joint venture agreements with Nuanu Creative City on November 5, paying $7.1 million for majority ownership in two projects: ProEd Global School and a co-working and entrepreneur community called Genius City. InvestingPro data shows the company is currently trading near its Fair Value, though with a financial health score rated as "WEAK" and the stock has taken a big hit over the last week, dropping nearly 7%.

The first project involves Genius Group taking over management of ProEd Global School's early learning, primary, and middle school campuses at Umalas and Nuanu. The company plans to integrate its Genius School model and Genius Apprentice program with ProEd's existing curriculum.

For the second project, Genius Group acquired majority ownership of Nuanu's co-working and corporate retreat facilities, which include 100 accommodation units, conference space, and facilities for accelerators and workshops.

The company projects that annual revenue from the two ventures will exceed $20 million within four years, with annual profits reaching approximately $6 million in the same timeframe.

Genius Group CEO Roger James Hamilton said the acquisitions provide "a unique opportunity to reimagine the future of education within a fully operating city of the future."

The projects will operate under what the company calls its "Genius City" model, which it describes as a post-Singularity learning community focused on AI, Bitcoin, and community development.

Nuanu Creative City is a 44-hectare development in Bali that attracts approximately 4,000 daily visitors and houses over 30 interconnected projects across education, art, culture, nature, health, wellness, and lifestyle sectors.

Genius Group states it plans to develop 100 similar "Genius Cities" worldwide as part of its growth strategy.
