VENU Surges, Skyline Raises, and Kohl’s Holds the Line in This Morning’s Market Pulse
DENVER, Colo., Aug 27, 2025 (247marketnews.com)- Wall Street is waking up to a wave of fresh capital, transformative deals, and momentum plays that cut across live entertainment, retail, and real estate development.
VENU (NYSE:VENU), the rising star of live entertainment real estate, just announced a $30 million capital injection from institutional investors at $12 per share. The funds will accelerate development of its Sunset McKinney and Sunset Broken Arrow projects, flagship amphitheaters in the company’s national rollout.
Institutional confidence is rising fast. Vanguard Group now holds 861,911 shares, and analyst upgrades are stacking up. Cenorium Capital rates VENU a “Strong Buy” with a $22 target, while Northland Securities recently bumped its price target from $15 to $17.
With a vision that blends real-world venues with blockchain-powered digital fan engagement, VENU is betting big on owning 25 amphitheaters and 15 indoor entertainment complexes by 2030, representing over $2 billion in annual ticket sales volume.
Skyline Builders (NASDAQ:SKBL) locked in $17.775 million via a brokered private placement announced this morning. Shares were priced at $0.73 each, bundled with Class A and B warrants exercisable over five years.
A portion of the proceeds, $7 million, will be used to retire 18.5 million shares held by Supreme Development (BVI), a firm beneficially owned by CEO Ngo Chiu Lam. The rest will fund working capital and general operations, as the company strengthens its capital structure.
In a significant move for North American critical mineral supply chains, Critical Metals (NASDAQ:CRML) announced that it signed a letter of intent for a multi-year offtake agreement with Ucore Rare Metals Inc., a key player in rare earth processing and separation technology.
Under the agreement, CRML expects to supply up to 10,000 metric tons annually of rare earth concentrate, roughly 10% of its projected initial output from the company’s Tanbreez Project in Greenland. The concentrate, rich in heavy rare earth elements (HREEs), will serve as critical feedstock for Ucore’s new U.S.-based processing facility in Alexandria, Louisiana, which broke ground in May with funding support from both the Louisiana state government and the U.S. Department of Defense.
Kohl’s (NYSE:KSS) reported Q2 2025 earnings, showing a 5.1% drop in net sales and a 4.2% decline in comps, but managed to increase gross margin by 28 basis points. Diluted EPS came in at $1.35, with adjusted EPS at $0.56.
Despite the sales dip, management raised its full-year outlook, signaling confidence in the retailer’s cost-control initiatives and merchandise strategy heading into the critical back-to-school and holiday seasons. A quarterly dividend of $0.125 was also declared.
