How These 2 Nasdaq-Listed Marijuana Companies Found A Way To Raise $250M Without Tanking Their Stock
Briefly: 2 Canadian giants Canopy Growth and Tilray both recently filed $250M At-The-Market (ATM) equity issuance programs.
What Is It: ATMs allow companies to sell shares incrementally at current market prices, offering flexibility and potentially less pressure on stock prices than traditional equity issues.
How It Works: This is possible because ATM programs enable companies to sell shares directly into the market over time rather than all at once, aligning with market demand and conditions.
What Happened: Canopy’s stock fell 8.45% following the ATM announcement, but, according to experts, the decline would likely have been steeper with a regular $250M equity issue.
