NEGATIVE IMPACT
Viper Energy's stock price declined after the announcement of a secondary offering, which typically dilutes existing shareholders' equity. The company is not receiving proceeds and is buying back some shares.
Secondary offerings often lead to stock price declines due to the potential dilution of existing shares. Although Viper Energy is not receiving proceeds, the market may react negatively to the increase in available shares. The purchase of 1 million shares by the company may slightly offset this effect, but not enough to prevent a short-term negative impact.
