NEGATIVE IMPACT
MAIA Biotechnology's stock price fell sharply after the company announced a direct offering at a price below the current trading level, along with warrants, to raise funds for operations and R&D.
The stock price decline is likely due to the dilutive effect of the new share offering, which is priced below the current trading price, indicating a potential short-term negative impact on the stock as existing shareholders face dilution.
