DENVER, Colo., Sep 17, 2025 (247marketnews.com)- Today’s tape is heavy on strategy pivots and headline-grabbing cap raises.
Lyft Inc. (NASDAQ:LYFT) is advancing its hybrid mobility vision with Waymo, announcing a fully autonomous ride-hailing deployment in Nashville by 2026. Through Lyft’s Flexdrive subsidiary, the company will handle fleet management, infrastructure, and depot operations, while Waymo supplies the AV technology.
Riders will be able to hail AVs via both the Lyft and Waymo apps, optimizing fleet utilization, a persistent challenge in AV scalability. The partnership cements Lyft’s role not just as a ride-hailing provider, but as a logistics and fleet operations platform in the emerging AV-as-a-Service economy.
VENU (NYSE:VENU) continues to make noise, turning its luxury live entertainment vision into tangible development. After flipping its initial $55M raise into $1.3B of construction activity, the company just added another $45M for upcoming Sunset McKinney and Sunset Broken Arrow amphitheater projects.
The Sunset Broken Arrow venue, a $107M luxury development in Oklahoma, will feature 12,500 seats, over 200 Luxe FireSuites with private fire pits, and exclusive access perks. It’s a bold blend of hospitality and entertainment, purpose-built for high-end live experiences.
CEO J.W. Roth personally committed over $5M into Luxe FireSuites and aims to scale to $20M in personal holdings, a rare insider move that speaks volumes about management conviction. With $200M in 2025 sales targeted for FireSuites alone, VENU is emerging as a lifestyle brand.
Caliber (NASDAQ:CWD) is strengthening its balance sheet while diving deeper into the digital asset world, announcing the sale of $15.9M in perpetual preferred equity, convertible at a striking $250/share, and activating a new ATM equity program worth up to $10.3M.
Proceeds will go toward expanding Caliber’s Digital Asset Treasury (DAT) strategy, which is centered around accumulating Chainlink (LINK). CEO Chris Loeffler said the raise strengthens Caliber’s balance sheet, while backing its long-term thesis that decentralized oracle infrastructure will underpin future real-world asset integration.
This makes Caliber the first Nasdaq-listed firm to anchor its treasury in LINK, offering shareholders exposure to crypto infrastructure, without holding tokens directly.
While home sales volume remains under pressure, Opendoor (NASDAQ:OPEN) continues pushing its iBuyer model toward efficiency, emphasizing margin management over rapid growth. Investors are closely watching for Q3 updates on sell-through rates, especially amid seasonal housing weakness and tight inventory. Opendoor remains a barometer for housing-tech resilience.
Presidio Property Trust (NASDAQ:SQFT) is becoming a favorite among momentum traders chasing small-cap breakouts, with volume and volatility both elevated. After clearing the $9.00 level, attention shifts to whether bulls can defend gains or build a base for another leg higher. With broader small-cap real estate seeing renewed attention, SQFT stays on breakout watch.
MicroAlgo (NASDAQ:MLGO) is benefitting from macro tailwinds in AI and edge computing.
