DENVER, Colo., Nov 14, 2025 (247marketnews.com)- From autonomous drone systems to neuromuscular therapeutics, venue infrastructure, and antibody-based COVID prevention, traders are leaning into hard news, big guidance raises, and transformative corporate pivots.

Ondas Holdings (NASDAQ:ONDS) is one of today’s midday standouts after reporting a record-breaking Q3 2025, with revenue hitting $10.1 million, more than 6× year-over-year and 60% quarter-over-quarter.

The company now boasts a pro-forma cash balance of $840.4 million, one of the strongest in the autonomous robotics and defense-tech sector.

CEO Eric Brock emphasized sustained momentum at Ondas Autonomous Systems (OAS), citing demand strength for the Iron Drone Raider and Optimus System platforms. Brock said Ondas delivered a record quarter that was highlighted by sustained growth momentum amid a powerful demand cycle.

Key catalysts driving today’s surge:

  • Record revenue and expanding backlog
  • 2025 revenue target raised to at least $36M
  • New 2026 preliminary target of $110M+
  • Acquisitions of Sentrycs, Apeiro Motion, 4M Defense, and partnership with Rift Dynamics
  • Expanding presence in Europe and Ukraine
  • Strong progress at Ondas Networks as its dot16 platform is formalized as the upgrade path by the AAR’s Wireless Communications Committee

Brock concluded that Ondas is building a highly scalable platfolio, with clear visibility on significant revenue growth into 2026 and beyond, and investors are clearly buying in.

Scholar Rock (NASDAQ:SRRK) is trading higher midday after delivering a highly anticipated Q3 update and major FDA-related milestones tied to its groundbreaking SMA therapy, apitegromab.

The company announced a successful in-person Type A FDA meeting alongside Novo Nordisk’s Catalent Indiana team, confirming that the facility is on track to be reinspection-ready by year-end.

Key catalysts:

  • BLA resubmission expected in 2026
  • U.S. launch of apitegromab anticipated following approval
  • Additional U.S. fill-finish facility accelerating timelines (commercial capacity secured for Q1 2026)
  • Dosing underway in Phase 2 OPAL trial for infants <2 years old
  • FDA clearance of SRK-439 IND, with dosing planned in Q4
  • Cash runway into 2027

CEO David Hallal reaffirmed the company’s mission, noting its commitment to bringing  apitegromab to children and adults living with SMA.

VENU (NYSE:VENU) reports after today’s close and traders are anticipating strong commentary on its live-entertainment infrastructure model.

What the market is watching:

  • VENU’s model blends real estate, live entertainment, and hospitality, using build-own-earn and sale-leaseback strategies.
  • Its $186M Colorado Springs appraisal (+46% over cost) and $14M parking asset sale ($6M profit) exemplify the model’s monetization power.
  • The company is developing $5B+ worth of amphitheaters, with ~$1B already under construction.
  • Long-term revenue potential includes $100M+ annual NNN leases and $2B in ticketing potential by 2030.

Although not a pure PPP play, VENU’s capital partnerships, asset monetization, and public-facing infrastructure make it PPP-adjacent, benefiting from the same macro tailwinds: real-asset inflation, scarce venue supply, and booming live-event demand.

Invivyd (NASDAQ:IVVD) is attracting buyers after reporting better-than-expected Q3 results and expanding its pipeline targeting next-gen COVID prevention.

Key Q3 highlights:

  • PEMGARDA® revenue: $13.1M, up 41% YoY and 11% QoQ
  • Cash exceeded $100M by October 2025
  • Successful $57.5M public offering + $29.8M ATM usage
  • FDA cleared IND for VYD2311, a vaccine-alternative preventative antibody

The pivotal REVOLUTION program includes two trials expected to begin around year-end 2025 with top-line data in mid-2026.

Shares of Cidara Therapeutics (NASDAQ:CDTX) are trending midday following overnight reports that Merck is nearing an acquisition potentially exceeding $3.3 billion.

Additional upside momentum comes from:

  • Completion of Phase 3 trial enrollment
  • Investor attention following a new 13D filing
  • Heavy after-hours volume carrying over into today’s session

The market is pricing in a high-probability M&A scenario.

Formerly Leap Therapeutics, Cypherpunk Technologies (NASDAQ:CYPH) is one of today’s most-watched movers following its official rebrand and strategic shift into digital assets—while maintaining its oncology R&D through a dedicated subsidiary.

Recent catalysts:

  • Closed a $58.88M private placement led by Winklevoss Capital
  • Deployed $50M to build a Zcash-focused digital asset treasury
  • Transitioning its cancer-therapy operations under a restored Leap Therapeutics subsidiary
  • Trading under the new ticker CYPH as of November 13

CEO Douglas Onsi called the past month “transformative,” highlighting both the Zcash strategy and positive Phase 2 CRC data for sirexatamab.

MIDDAY OUTLOOK

With drones, therapeutics, AI-immune antibodies, live-event real assets, and digital-asset treasuries all moving simultaneously, today’s session is proving unusually catalyst-rich.

Expect heightened volatility into the close, especially with VENU (NYSE:VENU) reporting earnings after the bell.
