V2X, Inc. (VVX) saw its stock plummet 5.87% in pre-market trading on Friday, as investors reacted to the company's announcement of a secondary offering. The sharp decline comes after V2X revealed plans for Vertex Aerospace to sell 2 million shares of common stock in a secondary offering.

Secondary offerings often lead to downward pressure on stock prices due to concerns about share dilution. When additional shares are introduced into the market, it can reduce the value of existing shares, prompting some investors to sell their holdings. The size of the offering, at 2 million shares, appears to have significantly impacted investor sentiment towards V2X.

As the market digests this news, investors will be closely watching how V2X's stock performs throughout the trading day. The company's ability to explain the rationale behind the secondary offering and its potential benefits for long-term growth may play a crucial role in stabilizing the stock price in the coming sessions.
