NEGATIVE IMPACT
MediaAlpha's shares are trading lower due to the secondary public offering of 6.6 million shares by major shareholders at $19 each.
The announcement of a secondary public offering typically leads to a short-term decrease in stock price due to the dilution of existing shares and the perception of the offering price as a benchmark. In this case, the offering by significant shareholders at $19 per share, which is likely below recent trading prices, has led to a negative market reaction.
