VENU Surges as Critical Minerals & AI Power Plays Dominate the Tape
DENVER, Colo., Oct 14, 2025 (247marketnews.com)- As the market intensifies into the final stretch, momentum today is anchored by critical minerals, AI power, biotech names, and an entertainment disruptor. Here’s your breakdown heading into close and beyond.
VENU (NYSE:VENU) is showing strong performance late in the day, trading near session highs and holding onto gains. The company’s Luxe FireSuite demand hit $23 million over the last 60 days, including a record $12.3 million in September. A recent $34 million raise at ~$12 per share led by ThinkEquity has added fuel to the valuation narrative, while bullish analyst ratings, including Cenorium Capital: Strong Buy, PT $22, underscore growing confidence.
Cultural credibility is building too: Terri Liebler was named to the Rolling Stone Culture Council, and Chloe Hoeft joined the Forbes Nonprofit Council. With partnerships like Billboard, TIXR, and the backing of country star Dierks Bentley, VENU is shaping up as a cross-sector brand play, not just a real estate concept.
Critical Mass: Trilogy, American Battery, and Critical Metals Corp in Focus
With global attention locked on the U.S.–Australia summit set for Thursday, where critical minerals will headline talks between Prime Minister Anthony Albanese and President Donald Trump, investors are hunting for exposure to domestic and allied supply chains.
Nova Minerals (NASDAQ:NVA) is squarely in the spotlight after being invited by Ambassador Kevin Rudd to brief on its Estelle Gold and Critical Minerals Project. With a $43.4M U.S. Department of War grant, and a planned antimony refinery at Port MacKenzie, Nova is emerging as a cornerstone of U.S. defense material supply chains.
Also climbing:
- Trilogy Metals (NYSE:TMQ) is rebounding after investor sentiment turned bullish on its Arctic and Bornite copper-cobalt projects in Alaska, which could benefit from any U.S.-led critical mineral initiatives.
- Critical Metals Corp (NASDAQ:CRML) is bouncing after weeks of accumulation. The company’s U.S.-focused strategy and positioning in rare earth processing aligns well with today’s political and energy narratives.
- American Battery Technology (NASDAQ:ABAT) remains a retail favorite as the company progresses on its Tonopah Flats lithium extraction facility. Recent upgrades to its pilot plant and federal attention on lithium independence could drive a breakout.
AI Energy Ecosystem: Navitas and Fluence Ride the 800V Surge
Navitas Semiconductor (NASDAQ:NVTS) is surging into power hour after unveiling new GaN and SiC devices supporting NVIDIA’s (NASDAQ:NVDA) next-gen 800 VDC “AI factory” platforms. This marks a significant shift in data center power distribution, moving away from 54V legacy systems toward grid-to-GPU solutions. Navitas CEO Chris Allexandre called it “transformational,” as the company delivers grid-to-rack power tech in the megawatt era.
Fluence Energy (NASDAQ:FLNC) is catching tailwinds as well, with institutional chatter picking up around its battery-based grid solutions, which could dovetail with the broader AI data center energy demand narrative.
Astria Therapeutics (NASDAQ:ATXS) is up big today after agreeing to be acquired by BioCryst Pharmaceuticals (NASDAQ:BCRX) in a $920 million cash-and-stock deal, valuing ATXS at $13/share, a 53% premium to Friday’s close. The prize: navenibart, a long-acting injectable for hereditary angioedema (HAE) in Phase 3. This adds to BioCryst’s HAE portfolio alongside Orladeyo, creating a leading oral and injectable offering in the space.
Solidion Tech (NASDAQ:STI) is catching late-day volume as the company’s solid-state battery IP and partnerships in defense and energy storage attract speculative interest. With patents in lithium-metal and sodium-ion battery technologies, STI is being mentioned in niche forums as a next-gen storage sleeper.
American Resources Corp (NASDAQ:AREC) is ticking higher on anticipation of a potential announcement around rare earth processing from recycled coal waste. The company recently said it was nearing commercial scale with its ReElement division, and investors are watching for further developments this quarter.
Aqua Metals (NASDAQ:AQMS) and Greenwave Tech Solutions (NASDAQ:GWAV) are trading briskly as retail traders rotate back into clean tech and recycling plays. Aqua’s lithium recycling pilot updates and GWAV’s recent equipment sales may signal near-term catalysts.
PMGC Holdings (NASDAQ:PMGC) is showing signs of breakout potential after weeks of consolidation. With interests across logistics and sustainable packaging, and a quiet move into AI-driven inventory optimization, traders are watching for confirmation of a technical reversal.
Orla Mining (NYSE:ORLA) is quietly up after releasing operational updates showing higher-than-expected output from its Camino Rojo project. Rising gold sentiment and geopolitical uncertainty could lift interest in North American miners going into earnings season.
