POET Technologies' stock is showing extreme volatility: after strong gains it recently pulled back. The company has signed a development and supply agreement with Lumilens that includes an initial order of USD 50 million and a potential total volume of more than USD 500 million. At the same time POET completed a capital raise involving around 19.05 million common shares and accompanying warrants for gross proceeds of about USD 400 million, triggering dilution fears and high volatility. Investors should watch the use of proceeds and the commercial progress of the Lumilens collaboration; the stock remains speculative. » More on finanzen.net

The POET Technologies share has seen strong swings after a sharp drop and subsequent recovery. The company closed a development and supply agreement with Lumilens for an electrical-optical interposer; Lumilens placed an initial order worth $50 million, with potential volume of more than $500 million over five years. At the same time, POET placed around 19.05 million common shares including warrants in a direct offering, raising gross proceeds of about $400 million (issue price $21.00 per unit); warrants with an exercise price of $26.25 were also issued. The proceeds are to be used to expand manufacturing, R&D, scale optical modules and for possible acquisitions, leaving dilution risks and high volatility in place. » More on finanzen.net
