ALLO Stock Slumps As $175M Secondary Offering Hits Tape

Allogene Therapeutics (ALLO) stock slumped by 16.01% after announcing a $175M underwritten public offering of 87.5 million shares at $2.00 per share, significantly diluting existing shareholders. The offering, designed to fund clinical trials and R&D for its CAR-T pipeline, led to an 18% intraday price drop on increased volume. Traders are closely monitoring ALLO due to the dilution, insider selling intentions, and its high-burn, high-volatility biotech profile.
