Laser Photonics shares plunge 56.96% intraday after announcing $5 million public offering with 7.1M shares and warrants.

Laser Photonics (NASDAQ:LASE) plummeted 57.0% intraday after announcing a $5 million public offering comprising 7.14 million shares and warrants. The offering, priced at $0.70 per unit, includes Series A-1 and A-2 warrants exercisable at $0.70, with expirations of five and two years, respectively. The move, expected to close on February 9, 2026, will dilute existing shareholders and signal potential capital constraints, as proceeds will prioritize debt repayment, R&D, and acquisitions. Despite prior positive developments—such as securing $1.8 million in industrial orders and advancing anti-drone laser systems—the equity issuance triggered immediate investor concerns over valuation and ownership dilution, directly correlating with the stock’s sharp intraday decline.
