🔴 Trading--Leveraged Equity ETF (AAOG) is trading 4.64% down in pre-market amid AAOI dilution concerns

AAOG is trading at $2.42, -4.64%, amid dilution concerns surrounding Applied Optoelectronics (AAOI)’s $600 million at-the-market equity offering.

• The offering allows newly issued shares to be sold periodically.
• Because AAOG targets 2x AAOI’s daily performance, weakness in the underlying stock is magnified.
• Broader risk sentiment is softer as higher Treasury yields, crude oil strength, and Middle East tensions weigh on technology shares.
