KULR Technology Group, Inc. (KULR) shares plunged 5% in the after-hours trading session on Thursday, following reports that the company may offer and sell up to $50 million worth of common stock shares.

The potential share offering, which was disclosed in a regulatory filing, could lead to dilution of existing shares and weigh on the stock price. When a company issues new shares, it increases the total number of outstanding shares, effectively reducing the ownership stake of current shareholders.

While share offerings can provide companies with additional capital to fund growth initiatives or pay down debt, they are often viewed negatively by investors, as they can dilute the value of existing shares and potentially put downward pressure on the stock price.
