Crypto exchange Bullish prices IPO at $37 per share, above expected range, ahead of NYSE debut
Cryptocurrency exchange Bullish has priced its initial public offering at $37 per share, above the expected range of $32 to $33 and giving it a total market value of $5.4 billion. The company will raise $1.1 billion in the offering of 30 million shares. In a measure of increased investor appetite, Bullish expanded the number of shares sold in the IPO from 20.3 million, which were originally proposed to be sold at between $28 and $31 a share. Bullish granted its underwriters, led by JPMorgan, Jefferies and Citigroup, a 30-day option to sell an additional 4.5 million shares. Bullish stock will trade on the New York Stock Exchange under ticker symbol "BLSH." BlackRock and Cathie Wood's ARK Investment Management have indicated interest in purchasing up to $200 million of the shares. Bullish, which is led by former New York Stock Exchange President Tom Farley and headquartered in the Cayman Islands, is a cryptocurrency exchange that's geared toward institutional investors and brings together decentralized finance protocols with the security of a centralized company. Since its launch in 2021, total trading volume on the Bullish platform exceeded $1.25 trillion as of March 31. Bullish also owns the crypto news website CoinDesk, which includes crypto indexes, data and analytics. This is the second attempt by Bullish to go public in the four years since it was introduced. Backers, including billionaire PayPal co-founder Peter Thiel, are looking to take advantage of the Trump administration's favorable attitude toward crypto, which has invigorated capital markets this year. In June, stablecoin issuer Circle made a highly successful stock market debut, raising more than $1 billion. That followed the transfer to Nasdaq (from Toronto) of Mike Novogratz's Galaxy Digital and stock and crypto trading app eToro's IPO that valued it at $5.4 billion. Crypto custody startup BitGo and crypto exchange Gemini have also confidentially filed for U.S. listings.

Why Kratos Defense Stock Topped the Market on Monday
Key Points This company sure didn't have a case of the Mondays, as several analysts made bullish adjustments to their existing takes. Meanwhile, another pundit launched coverage of the stock with a buy rating. 10 stocks we like better than Kratos Defense & Security Solutions › There's nothing like an estimates-beating quarter to bring a lingering bull stampede into a stock. Buoyed by good quarterly results it delivered last week and several analyst price-target boosts on Monday, Kratos Defense & Security Solutions (NASDAQ: KTOS) shares bumped higher again that session. They closed the day more than 2% higher in price, contrasting favorably with the 0.3% dip of the S&P 500 index. Time to go on offense with this defense stock Those bullish adjustments from pundits started flowing in on Friday, following Kratos' earnings release, and continued into the new week. Monday morning, both B. Riley and Noble Capital lifted their price targets on the defense stock and steadfastly maintained their equivalent of buy recommendations. The former's Mike Crawford now feels the stock is worth $72 per share, well up from his previous fair value assessment of $55. Joe Gomes from the latter company hiked his price target by 25% to $75 per share from $60. As if to put an exclamation point on Kratos' solid second-quarter performance, one researcher even initiated coverage with its own buy rating. This was Cannacord Genuity's Austin Moeller. Essentially in line with his two peers, he believes the company's shares could reach a price of $74 apiece. Lingering bullishness We can't really blame any investor or analyst for being optimistic about Kratos' future, given how satisfying some of those quarterly figures were. One that particularly stood out was the company's 17% year-over-year rise in sales, which is considerable for a company that's large and well established in its market.
