EVGo (NASDAQ: EVGO) inventory tumbled 27% via 10:05 a.m. ET Tuesday after the operator of charging stations for electrical automobiles introduced final evening that EVgo Holdings, LLC, will promote not less than 23 million new shares of frequent inventory (and maybe as many as 26.5 million) in a secondary providing. (We additional discovered this morning that the shares will likely be priced at $5 every).
And this is a very powerful bit of stories: EVgo Holdings and EVgo are not the identical factor.
To its credit score, EVgo made this clear in a press launch, noting, “EVgo Holdings, LLC [is] an affiliate of LS Energy Fairness Companions IV, L.P.,” a shareholder of EVgo correct — so for readability, from right here on I will be referring to EVgo Holdings as “the insider.”
So principally, what we have now right here is an insider promoting an enormous chunk of EVgo shares. The insider will get all the cash from this sale (someplace between $115 million and $132 million earlier than charges). And EVgo will get none of it.
This revelation appears to have shocked and appalled EVgo traders right now — and no surprise. Boiled right down to its essence, we have simply been advised that somebody who owns roughly 25% of EVgo’s shares excellent is dumping them available on the market, and at a worth 21% under the place EVgo inventory closed eventually evening.
Everybody else will likely be left holding shares in an EV charging inventory that is by no means earned a revenue, and that almost all analysts suppose will nonetheless be dropping cash a decade from now… whereas one of many largest shareholders of this EV charging inventory bails out at an enormous low cost to the present share worth.
Appears to me that is a powerful trace that it is time to throw within the towel and promote.
