News seen as positive (earnings, acquisitions, strategic updates) often coincided with negative next-day reactions, while one prior offering and one LOI update aligned with price direction.
Over the last six months, Cemtrex reported stronger Q3 FY2025 results on Aug 14, with revenue at $17.0M and a turnaround to $1.69M operating income, yet shares fell. Subsequent LOIs for two strategic acquisitions on Aug 25 were followed by gains. The announced Invocon acquisition on Nov 20 and a profitability-focused corporate update on Dec 11 were both met with declines. A $2.0M registered direct offering on Dec 11 also saw a negative reaction, framing today’s offering within a pattern of frequent capital raises.
