Sonnet BioTherapeutics (NASDAQ:SONN) stock is taking a beating on Monday after the company announced a public stock offering.
Investors will note that this public stock offering comes from selling stockholders and not directly from Sonnet. That means the company won’t see any proceeds from the sale of these shares.
However, this stock sale also includes warrants for additional shares of SONN stock. When these warrants are exercised, Sonnet BioTherapeutics will see proceeds from that. The company notes that there were warrants for 1.34 million shares of SONN stock in the private placement connected to the offering announced today.
What This Means for SONN Stock
A large increase in trading could occur alongside the sale of SONN shares from these selling stockholders. That heavy selling could pull down the price of SONN stock. At the same time, the company wouldn’t benefit from the gross proceeds of the sale since it isn’t the seller of these shares.
As far as trading goes on Monday, there hasn’t been all that much activity yet. Instead, only around 80,000 shares have changed hands as of this writing. For the record, that’s a long way off from the company’s daily average trading volume of about 4 million shares.
SONN stock is down 4.9% as of Monday morning.

On Penny Stocks and Low-Volume Stocks: With only the rarest exceptions, InvestorPlace does not publish commentary about companies that have a market cap of less than $100 million or trade less than 100,000 shares each day. That’s because these “penny stocks” are frequently the playground for scam artists and market manipulators. If we ever do publish commentary on a low-volume stock that may be affected by our commentary, we demand that InvestorPlace.com’s writers disclose this fact and warn readers of the risks.
