NEGATIVE IMPACT
Weibo Corp's stock price fell to a new 52-week low following the announcement of a $300 million convertible senior notes offering and a proposed offering of ADSs.
The decline in Weibo's stock price is likely due to investor concerns over potential dilution from the convertible notes and ADS offerings. Convertible notes can be converted into additional shares, increasing the total number of shares outstanding and potentially diluting the value of existing shares. The announcement of such an offering often leads to a negative short-term reaction in the stock price.
