24/7 Market News: VENU Hits 52-Week High as Execution Outpaces Expectations
DENVER, Aug. 07, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- a pioneer in digital media dedicated to the swift distribution of financial market news and corporate information, reports that Venu Holding Corporation (NYSE American: VENU) surged to a new 52-week high. The market is beginning to take notice and Venu gained 48%, in just the last 2 months, as the execution of J.W. Roth's, Venu's CEO and Founder, business model has become clearer to investors. Moves like Venu's ability to advance its planned $5 billion construction pipeline without excessive dilution is fueling a revaluation story that now looks increasingly driven by fundamentals and strategic execution. At the center of this momentum is Venu's decision to pursue growth through debt rather than equity, securing $200 million in non-dilutive private debt commitments through Texas Capital Securities. These funds will accelerate development of premium live entertainment campuses in McKinney and El Paso, Texas, and Broken Arrow, Oklahoma. Importantly, the company has also closed its Reg A offering, removing a persistent market overhang and streamlining its capital structure. Roth made Venu even sexier by personally investing $5 million into Venu's Luxe FireSuites product, with plans to grow his investment to $20 million. Roth's confidence is underpinned by FireSuites' rapid growth, from $77.7 million in 2024 to a projected $200 million in 2025. Additionally, Venu's newly launched triple-net (NNN) Luxe FireSuite leaseback program, created in partnership with Sands Investment Group, is on track to generate another $100 million in annual revenue. These offerings provide investors with 11–12% returns plus lifestyle-driven ownership experiences, turning Venu's model into a unique blend of entertainment and passive income real estate. According to Clifton McCrory of Sands, 'When we started this journey in Q1, it took off immediately. In my 15 years in business, I've never seen anything quite like it. NNNs are well-known in retail, industrial, and medical, but bringing VENU into our portfolio made selling this asset class feel completely different. It's added energy and appeal.' Riding the boom in live entertainment, Venu is projecting revenue growth from $17.8 million in 2024 to $600 million by 2029, driven by 20 new venues. It's an ambitious model that blends REIT-style structure with hospitality and event upside, which has also attracted institutional attention. Analyst Upgrades Reinforce Bullish Momentum Analysts have taken notice of Venu's unique model and robust execution: Cenorium: Strong Buy – $22.30 Price Target Think Equity: $15 Target Northland: $15 Target These upgrades cite Venu's high-margin recurring income and new partnerships with AEG, Aramark, and Eight Beer. With analysts still needing to catch up to the company's rapidly evolving story and financial de-risking already underway, this new high may not be the ceiling, as VENU continues to build value without burdening shareholders with dilution. Venu's upcoming conference call will be held at 4:30 p.m. EDT, on Thursday, August 14th, 2025, to discuss VENU second quarter 2025 results at (800) 715-9871 or +1 (646) 307-1963, Conference ID: 9521412.

24/7 Market News: VENU's JW Roth Hits All the Right Notes with Bold Leadership, Growth, and Investment Moves
DENVER, Aug. 04, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- a pioneer in digital media dedicated to the swift distribution of financial market news and corporate information, spotlights Venu Holding Corporation ('VENU' or the 'Company') (NYSE American: VENU), the leader in next-generation amphitheater development and premium live entertainment hospitality, as its Founder, Chairman, and CEO, J.W. Roth's visionary leadership propels the company to new heights. Investors love bold CEOs who believe in and support their companies, and Roth exemplifies this, driving innovation in the $30 billion live events market (projected to grow at 7% CAGR through 2030 per Statista) with strategic appointments, personal investments, non-dilutive financing, surging NNN demand, and other shareholder friendly moves, position VENU for explosive growth, targeting 20 venues with 250,000 seats by 2028. CEO Backs His Vision: Roth Invests $5 Million into Luxe FireSuites Reaffirming his confidence in the business, Roth has personally invested $5 million in Venu's Luxe FireSuites premium hospitality product, purchasing suites in the upcoming McKinney and El Paso venues. Roth plans to increase his personal investment to $20 million over time. The FireSuites model has already seen 250% YoY growth, generating $77.7 million in 2024, with $200 million projected for 2025. FireSuites offer investors 11–12% returns along with premium VIP benefits, creating a unique luxury ownership experience in live entertainment. 'Over the years, as an entrepreneur, businessman, and a seasoned family office investor, I've learned to pay close attention to opportunity. Because of this, I have decided to personally purchase $5 million of our Luxe FireSuites through my family office. VENU's Luxe FireSuites create an incredibly lucrative income opportunity for their owners and the demand when we open a new market is always very strong. Over the course of the next year, I intend to increase my investment to $20 million in additional Luxe FireSuites,' said Roth. Surging Demand for NNN FireSuite Investments Projects $100M in Annual Revenue Venu's partnership with Sands Investment Group for NNN Luxe FireSuite leases, launched in Q2 2025, projects $100 million annually on top of the company's $200 million in projected traditional FireSuite sales. The product is offered in partnership with Sands Investment Group, providing 11% cap rates and attractive leaseback terms. Clifton McCrory of Sands, commented, 'When we started this journey in Q1, it took off immediately. In my 15 years in business, I've never seen anything quite like it. NNN's are well-known in retail, industrial, and medical, but bringing VENU into our portfolio made selling this asset class feel completely different. It's added energy, appeal, and frankly, made it sexy. Smart investors love NNN's, they diversify without adding burden. They're passive, low-risk, predictable, and steady 11% cap rate. But with VENU, they've got lifestyle-driven real estate and a story that resonates. That's a rare combination and our clients recognize that.' This investor-friendly model adds scalability to Venu's premium offering, appealing to both institutional and individual buyers seeking yield and lifestyle perks. Strategic Leadership: Venu Launches Growth & Strategy Division, Led by Live Nation Alum Terri Liebler To accelerate VENU's ambitious national expansion plans, supported by partnerships with AEG and Aramark for operational scale, Roth appointed Terri Liebler, a 22-year veteran of Live Nation, as President of its newly created Growth and Strategy Division.

If You Believe In What You're Building, Don't Wait For Permission
JW Roth, Founder & CEO of VENU. In the early days of building my business, there were plenty of reasons to pause, rethink or wait. But what kept us moving was a clear conviction: The live entertainment industry was ready for change. I know from experience that with a focused team and a willingness to take calculated risks, you can set out to build something different. If you're an entrepreneur today, here's the deal: You'll never get a green light from the world before you start. You have to give yourself permission to move. That's the real job of a founder—deciding that belief in your vision is enough to get going. So, how do you build momentum when the world hasn't caught up to your idea yet? Here's what worked for me: creating excitement and casting a vision. Build Before You Pitch Don't wait for investor validation or outside approval before you start building. We invested in infrastructure, talent and the fan experience from day one—even before the business model was fully proven. People believed in our idea because they could see it taking shape, and we leaned into the fan experience along the way. Putting fans front and center, proving that prototypes beat pitch decks every time. Use what you have—whether it's your time, tools or network to create something tangible. A live demo, early activation or pilot version of your product can open more doors than any presentation ever will. It's just as much about the jockey as it is the horse. Get to know the people behind the product, their grit, their drive, their vision, and you'll start to believe more deeply in where it's going. Business isn't a smooth track. It's full of sharp turns and unexpected hurdles. Talk to Customers, Not Just Advisors It's easy to get caught up seeking feedback from people who aren't your audience. I learned quickly that the most honest validation comes from those you're actually building for: fans, artists, partners. That's where the insights (and momentum) live. Therefore, be sure to prioritize open, honest feedback. Create real-time loops with the people who matter most, and make it clear their voice isn't just welcome, it's essential. Because trust and transparency aren't just values; they're your foundation. Move Fast, But Stay Rooted In Your 'Why' Speed matters. So does staying true to the reason you started. We expanded quickly—from a regional idea to publicly traded on the New York Stock Exchange—but it's important to never stray from your mission. This kind of clarity makes it easier to navigate tough decisions as you grow and things become more complex. My main advice: Never lose momentum. Write your mission in a single sentence. If a new opportunity doesn't align with it, let it go—no matter how attractive it looks on paper. Trust That Conviction Attracts Others The real turning point wasn't media coverage or investor interest—it came when the broader live entertainment industry started to take us seriously. That shift showed up in unexpected ways: venue partnerships, award nominations, industry lists and some press. In hindsight, it wasn't hype that moved things forward—it was consistent conviction, backed by execution. That kind of belief, when shared authentically, has a way of spreading. Conviction is contagious. So, don't downplay your ambition. Speak clearly and confidently about your vision. The right people are drawn to energy, not hesitation. Looking back, I didn't build my company by asking for approval; I built it by moving forward with a disruptive purpose. And if there's one thing I've learned, it's that if you truly believe in what you're building, the only permission you need is your own. Now go give it to yourself.
