52-Week Fever Leading into the Close as Bulls Eye a Breakout Finish

DENVER, Colo., Aug 15, 2025 (247marketnews.com)- With Wall Street barreling toward the weekend, a group of breakout names is looking to close the week at or near fresh 52-week highs.

Biotech name Precigen (NASDAQ:PGEN) is holding gains near its 52-week high after scoring a major regulatory win this week: full FDA approval of PAPZIMEOS, the first and only approved therapy for recurrent respiratory papillomatosis (RRP).

The approval, with no need for a confirmatory trial, sent bullish shockwaves through the rare disease biotech space, while strong clinical data showing a 51% complete response rate has added fundamental weight to the move.

Another name approaching 52-week highs is Pioneer Power (NASDAQ:PPSI), which delivered Q2 2025 earnings that showed a 147% YoY revenue surge to $8.4 million.

With full-year guidance reaffirmed at $27–$29 million in revenue, up ~20% YoY, and non-GAAP operating income flipping positive, $PPSI is gaining attention from energy and EV infrastructure investors alike. Volume is picking up, suggesting institutions may be nibbling ahead of a bigger breakout.

VENU (NYSE:VENU) is roaring into the close after Thursday’s strong Q2 earnings call, which revealed a surge in asset growth, increased FireSuite demand, and a rapidly expanding national footprint in live music amphitheaters and hospitality venues.

“As we close out this quarter, we’re seeing the pieces come together for what’s going to be a defining moment in our growth history,” exclaimed J.W. Roth, VENU’s Founder & CEO.

VENU’s total assets surged 36% to $242 million, and property/equipment jumped 45%, signaling active construction across the U.S. Luxe FireSuite sales hit $61.3 million YTD, up 34% YoY, and its new triple-net lease program is projected to generate over $100 million in annual capital.

Adding fuel to the breakout, Vanguard Group disclosed a new 861,911-share position, representing 2.3% of VENU’s float, worth ~$13 million. The stock, now officially out of micro-cap territory with a market cap over $600 million, could soon be on the radar for small-cap index inclusion and with that, broader institutional buying.
