FAQ

Why Bearish?

The increase in share issuance generally dilutes existing shareholders, which can lead to lower stock prices. Historical examples show that similar share increases have resulted in a drop in stock value for companies, reflecting market skepticism.

How important is it?

The significant share issuance affects IDBA's market position and investor sentiment directly. Increased shares can lead to a perception of weak financial health or a defensive strategy, impacting investor confidence.

Why Short Term?

The immediate effect of share dilution will likely be felt quickly. Within months, the market may reassess IDEX’s valuation and growth potential thereafter.
