NEGATIVE IMPACT
BlueJay Diagnostics' stock price is declining due to the announcement of a public offering at a price that is lower than the current trading price, which typically dilutes existing shareholders' equity.
The stock is trading lower as the public offering price is set below the current market price, which often leads to dilution of value for current shareholders. The significant increase in trading volume indicates a strong market reaction. The use of proceeds for FDA approval and R&D is a positive aspect, but the immediate impact of the offering on the stock price is negative.
