Crypto exchange Bullish more than doubles in NYSE debut after pricing IPO above expected range
Crypto exchange Bullish rocketed on Wednesday after the company raised about $1.1 billion in an initial public offering. The stock opened at $90 on the New York Stock Exchange, 143% above its IPO price of $37. Shares were then halted at around $102.44 per share. The Cayman Islands-headquartered company priced its IPO early Wednesday far above this week's expected range of $32 to $33, and an initial range last week of between $28 and $31, valuing the company at some $5.4 billion before trading began. Bullish, which is led by former New York Stock Exchange President Tom Farley and backed by tech billionaire Peter Thiel, is a crypto exchange focused on institutional investors and blends decentralized finance protocols with the security of a centralized company. "The last leg of growth in crypto, the last 10 years, was basically all retail and … the institutional wave has begun," Farley told CNBC's "Squawk on the Street" Wednesday. "It's here, and it's a question of how big it will be. Based on the reception we've gotten thus far as part of our IPO, it feels like institutional investors feel like this could be the moment." Since its launch in 2021, total trading volume on the Bullish platform exceeded $1.25 trillion as of March 31. The company also owns the crypto news website CoinDesk, which includes crypto indexes, data and analytics. Bullish joins a batch of companies looking to take advantage of the Trump administration's favorable attitude toward crypto. 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. This is the second attempt by Bullish to go public in the four years since the company launched.

Light & Wonder Faces Target Cuts as Analysts Eye EBITDA Risks, Despite Buy Ratings
Light & Wonder Inc. (NASDAQ: LNW) is one of the best cheap growth stocks to buy according to analysts. On August 8, 2025, Benchmark analyst Mike Hickey maintained a Buy rating on the stock but trimmed his price target from $100 to $90. One day earlier, on August 7, JPMorgan downgraded Light & Wonder from Overweight to Neutral and lowered its price target from $108 to $95. JPMorgan analysts expressed concern about the company's ability to meet its full-year 2025 EBITDA target through organic growth alone. The updated guidance includes EBITDA contributions from a recent acquisition. To hit the midpoint of that target, Light & Wonder would need to grow EBITDA by about 15% in the second half of 2025, a noticeable acceleration from its reported growth of 11% in Q1 and 7% in Q2. The firm also flagged uncertainty around free cash flow and leverage. Macquarie also updated its position on August 7, maintaining its Outperform rating but cutting its price target from $122 to $117. Light & Wonder Inc. (NASDAQ: LNW), headquartered in Las Vegas, Nevada, is a global developer and supplier of content and technology for the gaming and lottery industries. The company operates across three business segments: gaming, iGaming, and SciPlay, and provides hardware, systems, and digital platforms to casinos and online operators worldwide. While we acknowledge the potential of LNW as an investment, we believe certain AI stocks offer greater upside potential and carry less downside risk.
