COLORADO SPRINGS, Colo. - Venu Holding Corporation (NYSE American: VENU), a $333.5 million market cap company specializing in high-end live music venues, has entered into a three-year national expansion agreement with Ryan, LLC to fast-track the development of luxury entertainment spaces across the United States. According to InvestingPro data, the company has demonstrated strong revenue growth of 41.6% in the last twelve months, though its overall financial health score remains in the cautious range. The partnership, announced today, will utilize Ryan's expertise in securing development sites and structuring public-private partnerships to propel VENU's growth in high-demand markets.
The collaboration is set to enhance VENU's portfolio of ultra-lux amphitheaters and intimate concert halls by leveraging Ryan's Credits and Incentives practice. The tax services firm has already contributed to VENU's expansion in McKinney and El Paso, Texas, by aligning public-sector support with the company's strategic growth objectives.
Under the terms of the agreement, Ryan will be responsible for securing two new public-private partnerships every quarter, which is expected to quicken VENU's market entry rate and improve its scalability. This approach aims to reduce development costs and financial risks for VENU, while also shortening the time to market for new projects. With analyst price targets ranging from $12.50 to $15.00 per share, InvestingPro subscribers can access detailed analysis of VENU's growth potential and 8 additional key investment insights.
J.W. Roth, Founder, Chairman, and CEO of VENU, expressed confidence in Ryan's ability to match the company's ambitious expansion goals, citing their previous success in establishing valuable municipal relationships. Ryan's Chairman and CEO G. Brint Ryan highlighted the partnership's potential to create jobs, boost tourism, and strengthen the economy.
The global live entertainment market is forecasted to reach $79.7 billion by 2030, with a 16.1% compound annual growth rate, according to ResearchAndMarkets. VENU is actively addressing this growth by operating and developing venues in underserved markets, with five more projects in the design and development phase.
VENU's strategy includes capitalizing on public-private partnerships to offset a significant portion of infrastructure and site costs, thus avoiding the heavy debt burdens typically associated with the sector. This approach is complemented by strong demand for VENU's Luxe FireSuites, which serve as a pre-construction funding mechanism.
