On July 6, Vishay Intertechnology rose 7.71% in regular trading, trading at $49.71/share, with turnover of $48.95 million.
On the news front, the company announced the final pricing of its common stock public offering at $50 per share for 15 million shares, raising a total of $750 million. The company had initially launched the underwritten public offering on June 30, with underwriters granted an option to purchase up to an additional $112.5 million of shares. Since the announcement, the stock had declined over 10% from approximately $51, as the market priced in dilution concerns and uncertainty over the offering price. The finalized pricing effectively removed this overhang, allowing prior oversold selling pressure to dissipate.
Proceeds are intended to accelerate growth initiatives, reduce borrowings under the senior secured credit facility, and for general corporate purposes.
