Crown Electrokinetics [CRKN] - Last Close: $0.069
Crown Electrokinetics is trending after announcing a new offering.
Yesterday, the micro-cap optical film company unveiled a shelf offering of up to 75 million shares of common stock from a certain selling shareholder.
According to Crown's SEC filing, it could receive proceeds of up to $50 million from the sale of shares to the selling stockholder under the purchase agreement.
On July 20th, Crown agreed to issue roughly 1.3 million shares of common stock to this selling shareholder in exchange for purchase commitments.
CRKN is up 28.8%, and it's the most active stock in early premarket trading.
My Take: I don't think the rally will have real legs. CRKN has a microscopic market cap of just $5.82 million, so this move could be the result of targeted market manipulation.
