Meme Stocks vs. Tight-Float Contender and Other Headlines

July 23, 2025

DENVER, Colo., Jul 23, 2025 (247marketnews.com)- The recent meme-stock frenzy features Kohl’s (NYSE:KSS), GoPro (NASDAQ:GPRO), Krispy Kreme (NASDAQ:DNUT), Koss (NASDAQ:KOSS), Beyond Meat (NASDAQ:BYND), and 1‑800‑FLOWERS.COM (NASDAQ:FLWS), all rallying on short-squeeze hype. However, traders beware: these names carry massive floats and high share dilution potential, meaning gains may vanish if issuers tap the market for funding.

Contrast that with Venu (NYSE:VENU), a rare tight-float play that could truly sustain a squeeze. With only 4.04 million shares in public float and 37.52 million shares outstanding, plus just 266,612 shares short (~8 days to cover), VENU offers a clean setup.

More importantly, VENU is winding down its Regulation A Preferred Stock offering this week (final investments due July 24), and with the $15 preferred reference price lifted, shares can trade freely toward a strong $22.30 analyst target set by Cenorium AG, which praised its “compelling business model” and explosive revenue growth trajectory, from $17.8 million in 2024 to $600 million by 2029, supported by partnerships with AEG Presents and Aramark (NYSE:ARMK).

VENU’s arsenal for minimizing dilution is impressive:

  • CEO J.W. Roth invested $5 million in Luxe FireSuites, with plans to increase to $20 million.
  • Luxe FireSuite revenue surged 250% YoY to $77.7 million in 2024 and on pace for $300 million in 2025, including NNN leasebacks.
  • The company retained Texas Capital Securities to arrange $200 million in non-dilutive private debt to fuel venue rollout, no equity issuance required.

With a pipeline targeting 20 venues and 250,000 seats by 2028, and tight insider ownership, VENU is not only squeeze-ready, it’s built to hold the gains.

Biotech & Tech Movers to Watch

Incannex Healthcare (NASDAQ:IXHL) continues de-risking: as of May, it canceled up to 50.4% of outstanding Series A warrants, reducing future dilution. Its IHL‑42X Phase 2/3 OSA trial is now Phase 3–ready, and the stock remains in the spotlight ahead of topline data.

Siyata Mobile (NASDAQ:SYTA) is seeing speculative volume as it nears a $185 million merger with Core Gaming, which boasts 43 million monthly active users. The new entity is targeting $100 million in 2025 revenue, a massive transformation from Siyata’s legacy business model.

Wolfspeed (NYSE:WOLF) is in restructuring mode, filing pre-packaged Chapter 11, cutting $4.6 billion in debt, and aiming to emerge by Q3 2025. Despite plans to offload most debt, existing shareholders may be diluted to 3–5% of post-bankruptcy equity. Still, the hawks in silicon carbide and a massive 10‑year supply pact with Renesas remain strategic assets.

Replimune (NASDAQ:REPL) is rebounding after the analyst downgrade crash.

Piper Sandler reaffirmed a Buy on Abivax (NASDAQ:ABVX), setting a $42 target, significantly higher than its recent share price, bolstered by its antiviral and anti-inflammatory pipeline.

AgEagle Aerial Systems (NYSE:UAVS) delivered its 100th eBee drone to South Korea, expanding in Asia-Pacific, and announced partnership with an Israeli firm on AI-powered drone teaming, indicating growth in defense and environmental sectors.

Intuitive Machines (NASDAQ:LUNR) is forging ahead with IM‑3 mission in 2026 and teaming with San Jacinto College to train technicians for space-based pharma applications.

Liberty Oilfield Services (NASDAQ:LBRT) had no specific news found today, but remains tied to energy services recovery cycles and rig count volatility.]
