Three offering-related announcements in March 2024 (proposed, pricing, and closing of a $15M deal) all saw next-day moves of roughly mid‑single‑digit declines, with an average move of about -4.73%. Against that backdrop, today’s proposed common stock sale continues the company’s pattern of using follow-on offerings to fund ongoing commercialization efforts.
