Voyager Stock Tanks After Hours — Here's Why
Voyager Technologies (NYSE:VOYG) shares fell 7.67% in after-hours trading on Tuesday. The company plans to raise $350M via convertible debt, with an option for an additional $52.5M. Proceeds will fund growth and acquisitions, and Voyager will use capped calls to limit dilution. The offering equals about 18% of its market value of $2.27B.
