Why is Torm stock sliding today?

Torm's stock fell 6.3% in pre-market trading after OCM Njord Holdings, a Brookfield Corporation-linked entity, announced a secondary offering of 9 million Class A shares. The company is not involved in the sale. The offering may dilute the free float by up to 10.35 million shares, pressuring the stock. Broader market and sector trends did not offset the decline.
