Insights
bioAffinity Technologies raises $4.8M in public offering at $2.50/share, diluting existing shareholders while securing needed capital for cancer detection programs.
bioAffinity Technologies has priced a $4.8 million public offering consisting of 1,921,799 shares at $2.50 per share (or pre-funded warrants at $2.493). This capital raise is significant for a small-cap biotech focused on non-invasive early cancer detection tests. The offering represents substantial dilution for existing shareholders, as the company is issuing new equity at what appears to be a discounted price to raise funds.
The timing of this offering suggests bioAffinity likely needs this capital to continue its operations and research programs. For early-stage biotechs without significant revenue streams, periodic dilutive offerings are often necessary to fund ongoing development work. The $4.8 million raised, while modest by biotech standards, should provide the company with additional runway to advance its cancer detection platform.
WallachBeth Capital is serving as the sole placement agent, indicating this is a smaller offering without major investment bank participation.

The expected closing date of September 30, 2025 indicates the transaction is imminent and has likely already secured commitments from investors.
