How This Affects GANX Stock
With this public offering, Gain Therapeutics is increasing the total number of outstanding shares. Doing so dilutes the stakes of current investors in the biotechnology company. That’s one reason why the stock is down today.
Another is the pricing of shares in the offering. The $1.35 price is well below the stock’s previous closing price of $1.89 per share. It makes sense this discount would drop the price of currently traded shares too.
GANX stock is down 25.4% as of Friday morning.
