SurgePays Inc's stock fell 33.69% as it crossed below the 5-day SMA, reflecting investor concerns following its recent share offering announcement.
The company announced the pricing of 2 million shares at $1.25 each, raising approximately $2.5 million to support its expansion in the wireless and fintech sectors. Additionally, SurgePays granted underwriters a 45-day option to purchase an additional 300,000 shares, enhancing its capital flexibility. The offering is expected to close on January 22, 2026, indicating the company's proactive approach to capital markets.
This capital raise aims to strengthen SurgePays' position in providing services to subprime and underserved consumers, but the significant stock price drop suggests market caution regarding the offering and its potential impact on investor confidence.
