TransCode Therapeutics (NASDAQ:RNAZ) stock is rocketing higher on Wednesday after the company withdrew a stock offering.

This comes from a filing with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) to withdraw its registration statement filed on Feb. 1, 2023. The company notes that no securities were sold following the filing.

With this news comes incredibly heavy trading of RNAZ stock. As of this writing, more than 6 million shares have changed hands. That’s a massive surge compared to the daily average trading volume of about 3.2 million shares.

What This Means for RNAZ Stock

With this latest filing, TransCode Therapeutics won’t be increasing its outstanding number of RNAZ stock. As a result, investors are more confident about investing in the company as they don’t have to worry about their stakes being diluted.

At that same time, no stock offering means investors don’t have to fear an offering price. When companies price public offerings, they typically come in lower than the current share price. That often causes the price of a given stock to drop as well.

RNAZ stock has been on a downward trend ever since announcing its proposed public stock offering at the start of the month. With today’s news, the company’s shares are up 100.5% in pre-market trading.
