Dawn of Disruption: Ad Tech M&A Frenzy and Venue Visions Light Up Tuesday’s Tape

September 24, 2025

DENVER, Colo., Sep 24, 2025 (247marketnews.com)- Good morning. As markets open, here’s what’s catching attention in overlooked and speculative names, and what to watch today.

VENU (NYSE:VENU) announced the November 19 groundbreaking for the 12,500-seat Sunset Amphitheater at El Paso, backed by $31.5 million incentives and a $2 billion decade-long economic jolt. CEO J.W. Roth beamed, “This groundbreaking… is the start of a transformative journey,” with Mayor Renard U. Johnson adding it “positions El Paso as a stronger regional destination.” Luxe FireSuites and Aikman Club (156 elite members) promise year-round luxe, amplifying VENU’s $5 billion pipeline.

SHF Holdings (NASDAQ:SHFS), a cannabis banking disruptor exploded after-hours to on a $150 million stock purchase pact with CREO Investments, providing flexible firepower for its fully managed compliance program amid a $30 billion U.S. cannabis sector (21% CAGR to 2030, Prohibition Partners). Trading flipped bullish as CEO Terry Mendez preps for the PBC Conference today, spotlighting “conscious capitalism” in psychedelics. With $15 million Q2 revenue despite -$18 million equity, this lifeline could fuel 2026 loan servicing growth.

Bakkt (NASDAQ:BKKT) is extending its weekly tear, which started after redeeming its $150 million convertible debenture and nabbing a 30% stake in Japan’s MarushoHotta for blockchain payments expansion. Amid a $2 trillion crypto market rebound, BKKT’s debt wipeout, slashing long-term obligations to zero, bolsters its API solutions for 401(k) crypto pilots (per recent Trump EO). “We’re transforming into a blockchain-native payments leader,” management stated, with shares up 300% from August lows as Q3 volumes hit $1.2 billion.

UniQure (NASDAQ:QURE), a biotech gene therapy play, soared after Mizuho upgraded to Outperform with a $30 target, citing AMT-130’s BLA path alignment and topline three-year data due this month. With $377 million cash into H2 2027, uniQure’s Q2 loss narrowed to $0.69/share from $1.16, as CEO Matt Kapusta noted, “We’re well-positioned for the first disease-modifying therapy.” Fabry disease enrollment advances, with Phase I/IIa data at ICIEM Kyoto on September 5.

Energy Fuels (NYSE:UUUU), a uranium / nuclear materials‑oriented name, gained on a Vulcan Elements pact for domestic rare earth magnets, bypassing China in a $10 billion EV supply chain (25% CAGR). Q2 mined 639,000 pounds from Pinyon Plain, with director sales ($146K-$148K) amid 240% six-month returns; White Mesa Mill eyes commercial heavy REE oxides by Q4 2026.

ClearPoint Neuro (NASDAQ:CLPT), which operates in the medical device / neurosurgical guidance space, rose on FDA’s 1.5T MRI expansion for Prism Laser Therapy, unlocking 60% of U.S. scanners and 70% globally in a $15 billion neuro-oncology space. Q2 revenue hit $9.2 million (17% YoY), reaffirming $36-41 million 2025 guidance, as CEO Joe Burnett said it “aligns with our growth initiatives.”

GDS Holdings (NASDAQ:GDS), which operates data centers / digital infrastructure in China, climbed after Raymond James reiterated Strong Buy ($50 target) on AI hyperscaler demand, with Q2 revenue beating at $2.9 billion (EPS loss $0.06 vs. -$0.39 expected). C-REIT trading debut (August 8) and new REIT guidelines signal $5 billion capex pipeline in a $300 billion Asia-Pacific sector.

IREN (NASDAQ:IREN), a Bitcoin miner and AI cloud provider, leaped on H.C. Wainwright’s $36 target hike, fueled by 50 EH/s mining capacity (+400% YoY) and 1.9k NVIDIA GPUs for $200-250 million AI revenue by December. Q4 FY25 net income flipped to $177 million, with co-CEO Daniel Roberts’ $33 million share sale (September 11) underscoring conviction amid 366% six-month gains.
