Midday Market Editorial: Smart Money Rotates
DENVER, Colo., Sep 17, 2025 (247marketnews.com)- At midday, Wall Street’s focus is shifting beneath the surface, with small-caps in the spotlight,
TEN Holdings (NASDAQ:XHLD) continues to build momentum following its Ten Pro platform launch in July. Through its Ten Events subsidiary, the company is attacking the $1.6 trillion live and virtual events industry with a recurring revenue SaaS model aimed at planners, venues, and corporate clients.
As the Russell 2000 Index outpaces the S&P 500 by 3.8% year-to-date, analysts and investors alike are taking notice. Barry M. Sine reaffirmed his bullish view on XHLD, citing “ahead-of-schedule deployment” and reiterating his $8 price target, pointing to the platform’s monetization traction and execution speed. Shares of XHLD are extending gains midday and may continue drawing interest as the small-cap SaaS trade heats up.
Intelligent Protection Management (NASDAQ:IPM) is up double digits today after announcing a reseller agreement with MindsDB, an open-source AI leader known for database-integrated machine learning.
The partnership enables IPM to deliver a Starter Mind AI solution tailored to mid-market and public sector clients. The offering will integrate MindsDB’s tech into IPM’s analytics infrastructure, reducing cost barriers for smaller clients and creating an onramp to enterprise AI adoption. This deal positions IPM in the broader theme of AI democratization, giving it potential exposure to clients previously priced out of complex AI services.
CDT Equity (NASDAQ:CDT) officially joined the ranks of public companies adding Bitcoin to their balance sheets, announcing its purchase of 8.65 BTC (~$1 million) at an average price of $115,285/BTC.
This mirrors moves by peers like MicroStrategy (NASDAQ:MSTR) and Tesla (NASDAQ:TSLA), but on a microcap scale, drawing attention from crypto-aligned investors eager to bet on the next BTC-native equity play. Shares of CDT are trading higher midday as traders react to the scarcity narrative surrounding BTC supply and the growing normalization of digital asset treasury policies.
SciSparc (NASDAQ:SPRC) spiked earlier today after a filing from AutoMax related to their long-awaited merger agreement. The speculative move has SPRC on heavy volume, with many watching closely for additional M&A developments. The company has a history of high volatility tied to deal chatter, and today’s motion could spark further revaluation if confirmed.
