MicroAlgo Inc (MLGO) made headlines this week as one of the most active stocks, skyrocketing 455% on March 24 before correcting 14.7% on March 25 to close at $11.93.
This extreme volatility was driven by the company’s announcement to issue new shares at $0.80 to settle a $20M convertible bond.
Why the Stock Popped and Dropped:
While the share issuance may seem dilutive, it triggered massive interest, likely fueled by speculative trading. The stock swung nearly 119% intraday on March 25, indicating intense market action.
However, Tuesday’s drop signals traders are beginning to price in the longer-term implications.
