Venu Holding Corp reported widening losses in Q1 2026, with operational and financial performance deteriorating despite a significant capital raise. VENU's $104 million capital raise, including $86 million equity at 30% dilution, resulted in only a $15 million cash increase due to heavy PP&E investment and ongoing losses. Revenues grew just 11% year-over-year, failing to cover basic operational expenses, while interest expense now exceeds revenues and leverage continues to rise.
