EVGo (NASDAQ: EVGO) inventory tumbled 27% by 10:05 a.m. ET Tuesday after the operator of charging stations for electric vehicles 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 offering. (We additional realized this morning that the shares will probably be priced at $5 every).
And here is an important bit of reports: EVgo Holdings and EVgo are not the identical factor.
Insider gross sales
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’ve 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.
Is EVgo inventory a promote?
This revelation appears to have shocked and appalled EVgo buyers at the moment — and no marvel. Boiled all the way down to its essence, we have simply been instructed 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 finally evening.
Everybody else will probably 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 shedding cash a decade from now… whereas one of many greatest shareholders of this EV charging inventory bails out at an enormous low cost to the present share worth.
Appears to me that is a robust trace that it’s time to throw in the towel and sell.
