NEGATIVE IMPACT
Chewy's stock declined after-hours due to a $500 million public offering by a major shareholder. The company will repurchase $300 million of its stock, which will be canceled and retired.
The announcement of a large public offering by a major shareholder typically pressures the stock price downward due to potential dilution concerns, even though Chewy itself is not issuing new shares. The concurrent repurchase of $300 million worth of stock by Chewy may partially offset this negative sentiment, but the immediate market reaction was negative, as evidenced by the 3.09% drop in after-hours trading.
