Vision Marine Technologies Inc. (VMAR) shares are down 39.93% in pre-market trading, hitting a 52-week low.
The decline follows the company's announcement of a public offering of 32 million units priced at $0.30 each, aiming to raise $9.6 million for general corporate purposes and working capital. This offering reflects the company's confidence in the future electric boating market, but the dilutive nature of the offering has raised concerns among investors, contributing to the stock's downward movement despite broader market strength.
The implications of this offering could lead to increased investor interest in Vision Marine's electric propulsion technology, but the immediate market reaction indicates caution as the company navigates its capital needs.
