Analysis · PLSE · Industrial Applications And Services
Pulse Biosciences replaced its existing $59.98M at-the-market equity program with a larger $75M facility and appointed Mizuho as the new sales agent. The upsized program provides greater capital-raising flexibility at a time when the company is burning cash — it reported a $24.7M Q2 net loss today — but ended the quarter with $101.6M in cash after raising $46.8M via the prior ATM. The new program, priced at prevailing market rates near the stock's 52-week high, could dilute existing shareholders by up to roughly 2.8% if fully utilized, but the premium pricing reflects strong institutional demand for the shares.
