On May 26, POET Technologies fell 8.67% in regular trading, trading at $13.5895 USD/share, with trading volume of approximately $264 million.
The decline resumes the steep pullback that began in mid-May following a $400 million dilutive equity offering and earnings results that fell short of expectations. While the stock briefly rebounded on May 20 after a short-seller report was publicly debunked and institutional backing from the offering was highlighted to reassure investors, selling pressure has returned. The stock is now trading well below its 52-week high of $20.81, reflecting continued investor concern over dilution to the company's 172.6 million share base and persistent losses, with trailing twelve-month EPS at -$0.47.
Notably, the broader Semiconductors sector traded higher during the session, with Micron Technology up 14.47%, Advanced Micro Devices up 5.06%, and Marvell Technology up 6.26%, underscoring the company-specific nature of POET's weakness.
