Shares of Diginex Limited (DGNX), an impact technology company focused on ESG, climate, and sustainability solutions, plummeted by 12.20% in its debut trading session on the Nasdaq Capital Market on Wednesday.
The sharp decline followed the company's announcement earlier in the day regarding the pricing of its initial public offering (IPO) of 2,250,000 ordinary shares at $4.10 per share, raising gross proceeds of $9,225,000.
