MDLN is trading near its 52-week low of $35.5 (1.6% above the low).
Summary
Medline Inc. has announced the launch of a secondary offering of its Class A common stock. This follows the S-1 filing earlier today, which indicated that major private equity shareholders were registering to sell up to 69 million shares.

This substantial increase in available shares could weigh on the stock price in the near term. Traders will be watching for the pricing and size of the final offering.
