On July 2, Ouster declined 8.5% in regular trading, trading at approximately $53.63 per share, with turnover of $89.08 million. The drop was triggered by the company's announcement of a $200 million underwritten public offering.
Ouster priced the offering at $55.22 per share for 3.62 million common shares, with the underwriter granted a 30-day option to purchase up to an additional 543,281 shares. Net proceeds are intended for working capital and general corporate purposes, with closing expected on or about Monday. The equity dilution pressure from the offering served as the direct catalyst for the sell-off.
Notably, Ouster shares had surged sharply in recent sessions — rising over 28% on June 29 alone — driven by a flurry of business partnerships including deals with AIM Intelligent Machines for AI-powered heavy machinery, Fieldai for autonomous perception in extreme environments, and ARGUS Interception for anti-drone defense systems. The company also expanded its Benchmark Electronics manufacturing partnership to support annual Rev8 sensor capacity exceeding 100,000 units. Roth Capital had initiated coverage with a Buy rating and a $75 price target.
