FAQ

Why Bearish?

Issuing new shares typically dilutes existing share value. For instance, when companies like AWK published new offerings, stock prices often declined in the short term due to increased supply.

How important is it?

The share offering affects investor perception and potential dilution, influencing stock performance. Significant share sales can raise concerns about market confidence and may lead to sells from cautious investors.

Why Short Term?

The immediate dilution from the share offering is likely to impact stock prices quickly. Historical cases show that share offerings can lead to temporary drops in prices before stabilization.
