Negative Impact on Public Image
Current shareholders have the chance to increase their ownership in a company at a discounted price through a rights issue.
By doing this, they increase their exposure to a company's stock
which may or may not be advantageous depending on the profit and loss statement of the company.
Rights issues can lower a stock's value and decrease trading volume, both of which have an impact on the share price. By adding more shares, stock prices become diluted and there may be a downward trend in share valuation.
Rights issues frequently result in increased interest in (and trading volumes on) those shares, which frequently has a significant impact on trading activity on the day they are announced.
Let's suppose an investor already owns 100 shares of company XYZ
and the shares are currently trading at $20 each
In order to raise more money, company XYZ announces a rights issue for current investors at a price of $15 a share, which will last for 30 days.
