$135M Private Placement at 52-Week Low Deepens Dilution for AIFU
AIFU is trading near its 52-week low of $8.171 (4.2% above the low) on elevated volume (2.6× avg).
Summary
AIFU announced a $135M non-brokered private placement while trading near its 52-week low of $8.17. The placement prices 45M Class A shares at $3.00 each, with a warrant for 90M more shares exercisable at 200% and 250% of that price, and closing is expected by end of October 2026. The company's market cap is only $56M, so this raise is highly dilutive — it more than doubles the share count if priced at current levels. The placement follows a September 9 agreement to issue 10M Class B shares to Expansion Group for just $20,000, which was completed today. The stock has fallen from a 52-week high of $128.50 to $8.51, and this financing signals urgent capital needs.
