NEGATIVE IMPACT
Gain Therapeutics' stock price is likely to experience downward pressure in the short term due to the dilutive effect of the new share offering at a price that may be perceived as a discount to the current market price.
The announcement of a significant share offering typically leads to a short-term decline in stock price due to dilution of existing shares. The offering price being close to or below the current market price can exacerbate this effect as it suggests the new shares are being sold at a discount, which can be interpreted negatively by the market.
