On August 15, Ultra Clean fell 8.14% in regular trading, trading at $85.33/share, with turnover of $91.65 million.

On the news front, Ultra Clean filed a regulatory document with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission, disclosing plans to offer and sell up to $400 million of common shares from time to time through an at-the-market offering program. The substantial size of the proposed issuance relative to the company's market capitalization raised dilution concerns among investors, triggering significant selling pressure that began in pre-market trading and extended into regular hours.
