Bionano Genomics (BNGO) stock saw a significant drop of 5.26% in intraday trading on Tuesday, as the company announced a registered direct offering to raise approximately $10 million. The offering involves the sale of common stock and warrants, providing potential additional proceeds of $20 million if the warrants are exercised.
The funds raised through this direct offering will be used for general corporate purposes, including research and development, working capital, and debt repayment. While the capital injection can provide Bionano with additional resources to support its operations and growth initiatives, direct offerings can also dilute existing shareholders and put downward pressure on the stock price.
Bionano Genomics is a provider of genome analysis solutions, focusing on applications in basic, translational, and clinical research. The company's offerings include optical genome mapping solutions, diagnostic services, and software for genome analysis, as well as nucleic acid extraction and purification solutions using proprietary technology.
