Shares of Blaize Holdings slid Tuesday after the AI company announced a $30 million private placement and said it expects to report a wider third-quarter loss than expected.
Shares were down 17%, at $2.81, after opening at $3.35. The stock is down 81% year-to-date.
Blaize reported a preliminary third-quarter loss of $26.3 million, compared with a loss of $25.6 million in the same quarter a year ago.
Analysts polled by FactSet were anticipating a loss of $21.2 million.
The company said it expects revenue will be $11.9 million for the quarter. Analysts are expecting $11.3 million.
The company also said it entered into an agreement to sell nearly 9.4 million shares to Polar Asset Management Partners at a price of $3.20 a share. Polar also will receive five-year warrants to buy another 9.4 million shares at a price of $5.
The company said it would use the proceeds from the sale to fund the commercialization of its AI platform and the development of its next-generation computer chip.
Blaize expects the transaction to close Wednesday.
