Li Auto stock sinks toward 7th straight loss, after public share offering prices at 10% discount

December 4, 2020 by Retirement


Li Auto Inc.

Shares of Li Auto Inc. sank Friday, putting them on track for a seventh-straight decline, after the China-based electric vehicle maker’s public share offering priced at a discount of more than 10%.

The company said the 47 million share secondary offering of its U.S.-listed stock, which it disclosed before Wednesday’s open, had priced at $29.00 per American depositary share (ADS). That was 10.3% below Thursday’s stock closing price of $32.31.

The stock
LI,
-5.04%

slid 5.2% in afternoon trading. It has now plunged 30.3% amid a seven-day losing streak, which started after the stock closed at a record $43.96 on Nov. 24. That would be the longest losing streak since the stock went public on July 30.

Li Auto raised $1.36 billion from the share offering, and could raise about another $204.5 million if the underwriters exercise all of the options to buy additional shares, granted to cover overallotments.

The company plans to use the proceeds for research and development of next-generation electric vehicle technologies, including ultrafast charging, future car models, autonomous driving technologies and general corporate purposes.

In the two days since the offering was announced, the stock fell 7.3%. If the offering had priced at a 10.3% discount to the Dec. 1 closing price of $34.86, the 47 million ADS offering could have raised $1.47 billion.
