What is IONQ Warrant and how does it affect ionQ
$IonQ Inc(IONQ.US$ $IONQ INC C/WTS (TO PUR COM)(IONQ.WS.US$
A few days ago, Harry You, one of the majority shareholders and executives of ionQ, replaced 4 million ionQ warrents with 1.77 million ionQ shares, and cashed out all of them from 12/7 to 12/8, receiving nearly 45 million US dollars in cash. This wave of operations not only suppressed the benefits of the original Q2B meeting, but also had a huge impact on underlying stocks.
First, we need to understand what Mentality is. A warrant is a warrant, a right to buy a certain number of shares at a fixed price before a certain point in time. In the case of IONQ Warrent, an IONQ Warrent gives the holder the right to buy an IONQ stock for $11.50 before October 1, 2026.
Um, where did this purchased stock come from? In fact, when Warrent is executed, IONQ will issue a corresponding amount of additional shares. Going back to the situation where Harry You replaced 4 million Warrents, it means that the company expanded 4 million shares for this wave of his operations on the same day. This dilutes current stocks in disguise.
Since the listing of IONQ SPAC, the stock capital has increased by more than 4% cumulatively. This indicates that a large number of Warrents have been cashed out. Some of these warrents circulate in the market, while a larger portion is in the hands of internal employees and early investors.
What impact will the execution of Warrent have on stocks? Admittedly, stock expansion will dilute stock prices, which is definitely not a good thing in the short term. However, from an enterprise perspective, the increased activity of individual stocks and an increase in share capital are more conducive to increasing market value. For ordinary stock investors, this is also a risk that early-stage companies exist.
