DTSS Stock - Why Is Datasea (DTSS) Stock Down 36% Today?

Datasea (NASDAQ:DTSS) stock is falling on Friday after the company’s shares underwent a rally yesterday on a securities purchase agreement.

That update saw the China-based smart security solutions company provide details on a securities purchase agreement it reached with an investor at the start of the month. The agreement has the company selling 4.76 million shares of DTSS stock to the investor at a price of $1.20 per share.

As part of this agreement, the investor will hold these shares for at least one year. They will also pay a purchase price of $2.856 million in Chinese yuan. The first payment of 20 million yuan must be made no later than Sept. 10, 2023. There’s also a second purchase price and minimum payment due on Sept. 30 that matches the first set.

How This Affects DTSS Stock

With news of the securities purchase agreement came a rally for DTSS stock yesterday. The company experienced a trading volume of around 12 million shares, which was well above its daily average of 282,000 shares. That also pushed the stock 65% higher during normal trading hours.

Now that investors have cooled off from the agreement announcement, though, DTSS is giving up some of those gains. That has the stock down 35.8% as of Tuesday morning as some 175,000 shares change hands.
