Shares of Ruanyun Edai Technology Inc. (RYET) experienced a significant after-hours plunge of 5.32% on Tuesday, following the company's initial public offering (IPO) earlier in the day. This decline comes as investors reassess the Chinese education technology company's valuation after its first day of trading on the Nasdaq Capital Market.
Ruanyun Edai Technology had priced its IPO at $4 per share, offering 3.75 million shares to raise approximately $15 million in gross proceeds. The company stated that it plans to use the funds for research and development, new content creation, and other corporate purposes. Additionally, underwriters have been granted a 45-day option to purchase up to 562,500 additional shares to cover over-allotments.
The after-hours drop suggests that some investors may be taking a cautious stance on the newly public company. Factors contributing to this decline could include concerns about the competitive landscape in the Chinese education technology sector, potential regulatory risks, or simply profit-taking following the first day of trading. As Ruanyun Edai Technology begins its journey as a public company, market participants will be closely watching its performance and ability to execute its growth strategies in the coming weeks and months.
