[{"type":"text","content":"NEW YORK CITY, NEW YORK / ACCESS Newswire / December 26, 2025 / Public markets tend to anchor valuation debates to price history. A stock moves quickly, financing follows, and the terms of that financing are often treated as an implied ceiling rather than a tool. That shortcut can work when companies are dependent on frequent raises just to stay operational.
