POET Technologies’ $400 Million Question: Why the Stock Is Falling While Chip Shares Rally
POET Technologies shares dropped 7.7% to $13.46 Tuesday, underperforming chip stocks after a $400 million stock-and-warrant sale added 19 million shares. Trading volume neared 35 million. The company reported $503,389 in Q1 revenue and a $12.3 million net loss. A major order from Marvell was canceled in April, while a new deal with Lumilens could reach $500 million if milestones are met.
