Lyntris IPO Craters 13% as Downsized Deal Raises Just $297.5M
LYNX is trading near its 52-week low of $14.28 (4.0% above the low).
Summary
Lyntris debuted on the NYSE at $15.50, well below its $17.50 IPO price, and fell further to $15.14, down 13.25% intraday. The company had already slashed the offering to 17 million shares from 24 million, raising $297.5 million instead of the $528 million originally sought. The final price landed below the marketed range of $19-$22. Revenue grew 35% to $241 million for the first half, but net loss widened to $13 million. Proceeds will repay about $60 million of revolver debt. Trive Capital retains 69% ownership. The weak debut signals investor caution on smaller defense tech names despite strong sector demand.
