人工智能软件公司Veritone（VERI）周四盘中股价大跌23.24%，引发市场广泛关注。
导致股价暴跌的主要原因是该公司宣布以每股5.83美元的价格直接发行约1290万股股票，共筹资7500万美元。这一发行价较周三收盘价8.39美元大幅折价30.5%，引发了投资者的抛售。
Veritone表示，将利用此次募集的资金用于运营资本和一般用途，包括资本支出和债务偿还。然而，这种大规模的股票稀释引发了市场对公司未来盈利能力的担忧。值得注意的是，约一个月前，Veritone刚以2.63美元的价格公开发行了近2900万美元的股票。如此频繁的融资活动可能表明公司面临着现金流压力。尽管如此，分析师对该股仍保持相对乐观态度，在覆盖该股的4位分析师中，3位给予"强烈买入"或"买入"评级，1位给予"持有"评级，目标价中值为6美元。
