OBSIDIAN ENERGY LTD. (TSX:&nbsp;OBE) (NYSE:<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/OBE#NYSE">OBE</a>) ("Obsidian Energy", the "Company", "we", "us" or "our") is pleased to provide an update to our 2024 guidance that includes ongoing strong second half 2024 drilling results that continue to exceed our initial expectations. As a result, we have further increased our 2024 production guidance range to 37,000 to 37,400 boe/d (midpoint of 37,200 boe/d) with associated adjustments to our funds flow from operations ("FFO") and free cash flow ("FCF").
Considering the recent softness in commodity prices and market uncertainty due to global factors, Obsidian Energy has also revised our 2024 capital expenditures downwards by approximately $15 million, reallocating a portion of light oil spending towards incremental share buybacks through our normal course issuer bid ("NCIB") and further debt reduction. In total, the reallocation of capital is only expected to impact average 2024 production by approximately 40 boe/d.
"The continued outperformance of our development program has led to a further increase to our 2024 production guidance," said Stephen Loukas, Obsidian Energy's President and CEO. "However, the recent volatility in both the broader oil and gas markets as well as with our share price has resulted in a dynamic whereby our equity valuation is significantly below new development economics within our light oil portfolio. Accordingly, Obsidian Energy's Board of Directors has approved the postponement of our fourth quarter light oil program (excluding the drilling of our initial delineation well targeting the Belly River formation in our Willesden Green area) and capital reallocation into a combination of incremental share buybacks and additional debt repayment. Notwithstanding a minor impact to 2024 production, we believe that this decision will result in superior FFO and FCF per share metrics. Moreover, it will afford Obsidian Energy's shareholders greater exposure to our growing Peace River play, preserving light oil inventory for more favourable market while still meeting our 50,000 boe/d 2026 production target."
REVISED 2024 GUIDANCE
We have revised our 2024 guidance with annual production expected to be between 37,000 to 37,400 boe/d with a midpoint of 37,200 boe/d - a 15 percent increase from 32,275 boe/d in 2023 - and an approximate $15 million decrease to capital expenditures that will be reallocated to further share buybacks and debt reduction. Although we have lowered our WTI forecast to US$72.50/bbl for the remainder of 2024, our FFO increased by $5 million to $420 million, resulting in a 2024 net debt to FFO of approximately 0.9 times and a related increase to FCF by approximately $17 million to $69 million. Our revised 2024 guidance, incorporating key assumptions used by the Company, is as follows:

Vice Presidential candidates from either side of the aisle, Sen. J.D. Vance (R-Ohio) and Minnesota Governor Tim Walz will <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/cryptocurrency/24/09/41107455/walz-vs-vance-vp-debate-betting-odds-what-candidate-is-favored-plus-how-to-watch-likely-to">take on each other in a debate to be televised live on CBS News on Tuesday, </a>and former President Donald Trump&#8216;s niece Mary Trump weighed in on the event in her substack post.
Media Apathy: CBS, owned by Paramount Global (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/PARA#NASDAQ">PARA</a>), said it would not fact-check the debate in real-time but would do it in its live blog and on socials as well as in its post-debate coverage, said Mary Trump in the post published on Monday. The presidential debate between Donald Trump and Vice President Kamala Harris, hosted by ABC News, had real-time fact-checking.
The statement from CBS that moderators Margaret Brennan and Norah O'Donnell &#8220;will facilitate&#8221; opportunities for Vance and Walz to confront each other sounded like &#8220;on one hand CBS wants a food fight and, on the other, as if its comfortable giving a huge advantage to the one debate participant—Vance—who is known, like his running mate, for being an inveterate liar,&#8221; Mary Trump said.
The psychologist also said if the media doesn&#8217;t take up the onus of fact-checking information, it is incumbent on the public to spot a lie when they hear or read one.

Violence In The Cards: If Donald Trump is elected again, there will be blood, given he has long been targeting vulnerable communities and setting them up if he loses the election,<a href="https://www.marytrump.org/p/irony-diesagain"> said</a> Mary Trump in a separate post. &#8220;The more desperate he becomes, the more openly Donald fantasizes about violence being unleashed on his behalf,&#8221; she said.
Mary Trump noted that last weekend in Pennsylvania Donald Trump lied about shoplifting and proposed &#8220;one real rough nasty day&#8221; to let police do whatever they want to alleged perpetrators.&nbsp;
&#8220;This isn't fiction and what Donald is calling for has an historical precedent,&#8221; she added. 
&#8220;Donald is clearly signaling to his extremist followers that he will not only condone but will actively welcome such episodes of violence and intimidation here,&#8221; Mary Trump said. He has stated clearly on several occasions that he wants to use law enforcement and the U.S. military against American citizens, she said. 
While noting that Donald Trump has repeatedly said America&#8217;s enemies are those within and not China, Russia or North Korea, Mary Trump said her uncle believes deeply that anyone who opposes him or stands up to him is his enemy and, because he is an authoritarian, by extension, the enemy of the United States. 
&#8220;My uncle sees violence committed on his behalf as the ultimate sign of love and loyalty. He wants Americans to bleed—for him,&#8221; she added.

Older Model S and Model X vehicles from EV giant Tesla Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/TSLA#NASDAQ">TSLA</a>) will receive the <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/24/09/40681024/tesla-owners-can-now-summon-their-vehicles-using-their-phones">actually smart summon feature</a> that allows drivers to summon their vehicles in parking lots in the last quarter of 2024, company executive Ashok Elluswamy said on Monday.
What Happened: &#8220;Actually Smart Summon will come to legacy S/X in Q4,&#8221; Elluswamy wrote on social media platform X. 
Elluswamy, who is the Director of Autopilot software at Tesla, was responding to a user who flagged that though the company started rolling out the feature to newer model years of the vehicles in early September, older vehicle owners are still waiting.

Why It Matters: Actually Smart Summon is the latest iteration of the smart summon feature which was removed in 2022 with the company's removal of ultrasonic sensors to rely on cameras to provide driver assistance features.
Actually Smart Summon will allow users to summon their Tesla cars to a nearby particular location and banish them once they are done using it with the Tesla app.
Tesla in September also deployed parking assistance features and its full self-driving (FSD) driver assistance software on the <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/24/09/41086839/tesla-cybertruck-starts-receiving-highly-anticipated-fsd-software">Cybertruck- its latest EV offering</a>.

Over the years, billionaire investor Mark Cuban and former President Donald Trump have shared a multifaceted relationship. Their complicated and rather chaotic history started as being TV rivals.
What Happened: In 2004, Cuban&#8217;s &#8220;The Benefactor&#8221; and Trump&#8217;s &#8220;The Apprentice&#8221; began airing. While The Apprentice ran for 15 seasons, Cuban&#8217;s The Benefactor was canceled after just six episodes.
At the time, in a blog post titled &#8220;Thank you, Donald,&#8221; Cuban expressed his frustration after Trump told the Chicago Sun-Times, &#8220;You&#8217;ll have 100 people trying to do shows a little bit like us.&#8221;
&#8220;Let's get some things cleared up in case anyone is confused. The Benefactor is going to be nothing like The Apprentice. Why? Because, Donald, we are not alike in any way,&#8221; the &#8220;Shark Tank&#8221; star stated.
In the same blog post, Cuban reminisced about meeting Trump at a 1999 Super Bowl party at Mar-a-Lago, after which Trump invited him to meet in New York.
According to the billionaire, the former President&#8217;s office walls were completely covered with photos and magazine covers featuring him.

&#8220;After leaving your office, I promised myself that if I ever got liquid and had an obscene amount of money in the bank, I would make a point not to remind myself and everyone else around me of it every minute of every day unlike you,&#8221; he said, adding, &#8220;I guess our definition of success is just completely different.&#8221;
Following Cuban&#8217;s blog post, Trump stated he didn&#8217;t recall meeting him. In response, Cuban wrote a follow-up post titled &#8220;Of course you don&#8217;t remember, Donald.&#8221;

<script async src="https://platform.twitter.com/widgets.js" charset="utf-8"></script></div>
</figure>
Five years later, in 2009, Cuban praised Trump for his marketing nous. &#8220;Donald&#8217;s amazing. He sets the standard for marketing and promotion and to get him involved in MMA and to partner with him is an amazing opportunity for HDNet,&#8221; he said.
Why It Matters: Despite their rivalry, Cuban initially supported Trump&#8217;s political aspirations but later became a vocal critic due to their differing views on success and the Republican nominee&#8217;s incessant self-promotion.
The duo also collaborated in 2009 to promote a mixed martial arts (MMA) event through Cuban&#8217;s HDNet network.
In 2017, Trump also retaliated against Cuban, saying the billionaire wasn&#8217;t smart enough to run for president.

I just think he was&nbsp;and would be a lousy&nbsp;president.&#8221;
In August while speaking with Vivek Ramaswamy, Cuban said, &#8220;I actually started off supporting Donald and then I got to know him better. I was like, ‘He's great, he's not a typical Stepford candidate.' I thought that was a positive, and then I got to know him.&#8221;
He added, &#8220;He was unethical then, and he&#8217;s still unethical.&#8221;

Shigeru Ishiba has been elected as Japan&#8217;s new prime minister, replacing Fumio Kishida and raising questions about future U.S.-Japan relations. 
What Happened: Experts predict how Shigeru&#8217;s appointment might crop up changes in the relations between Tokyo and Washington, as <a href="https://www.politico.com/news/magazine/2024/09/29/japans-prime-minister-ishiba-00181546">reported </a>by Politico on Monday. According to Jesper Koll, a German-born economist in Tokyo, Ishiba must overcome his reputation for micromanagement and stubbornness. Ishiba lacks a grand vision, Koll added.
For Washington, Ishiba&#8217;s stance on military relations is crucial. He has suggested revising the U.S. forces deployment agreement and amending Japan&#8217;s pacifist constitution. Ishiba also proposed an Asian NATO, potentially elevating Japan to a peer ally of the U.S.
Gerry Curtis, a retired Columbia scholar, noted that Ishiba views the current U.S. deal as outdated.
"He could be a problem for the U.S.," he said.
Ken Weinstein, a prominent Japan watcher, described Ishiba as the "hardest for Americans to read&#8221; among the other candidates.
A Japanese official explained that 60% of Ishiba&#8217;s motivation is to enhance deterrence and strengthen the alliance, while 40% is about restoring Japanese sovereignty. This dual motive makes Washington uneasy.
Ishiba stated that security issues would be discussed with the next U.S. president post-November elections. Additionally, Japan faces challenges from U.S. protectionist trade policies and restrictions on technology transfers to China, impacting Japanese manufacturers.
Hiro Akita of Nikkei described Ishiba as a realist who understands Japan must adapt to a changing world. While not seeking to push America back, Ishiba&#8217;s leadership could still stir the waters of U.S.-Japan relations.

Despite his reputation for micromanagement, Ishiba&#8217;s election marks a shift from the policies of former Prime Minister Shinzo Abe. His pragmatic stance could bring changes to Japan&#8217;s domestic and international policies.
Why It Matters: The election of Shigeru Ishiba has already had significant economic repercussions. On Monday, Japan&#8217;s key stock market gauge<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/asia/24/09/41084907/japans-nikkei-plummets-over-2-000-points-amid-change-of-guard-while-chinese-market-extends-stimulus">, the Nikkei 225</a>, plummeted over 2,000 points, or 5.02%, amid the change of leadership. The index, heavily reliant on exports, reacted negatively to Ishiba&#8217;s victory, reflecting investor uncertainty about his policies. 
Additionally, Ishiba&#8217;s stance on international trade and defense could <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/24/09/40745941/japan-pm-candidate-warns-bidens-opposition-to-nippons-us-steel-acquisition-could-undermine-the-trust">strain Japan&#8217;s relationship</a> with the United States. Earlier this month, Ishiba warned that President Joe Biden&#8216;s opposition to Nippon Steel&#8216;s acquisition of U.S. Steel might undermine trust between the allies.

WISeKey International Holding Ltd. ("WISeKey") ((SIX: WIHN, NASDAQ:<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/WKEY#NASDAQ">WKEY</a>), a leader in cybersecurity, AI, Blockchain, and IoT operating as a holding company, today announced that will be initiating a awareness campaign to promote a major semiconductor fabrication facility (fab) project in Switzerland which marks a crucial step in the country's journey toward self-reliance in chip production and positions Switzerland as an emerging hub in the semiconductor industry.
For many years, WISeKey has been at the forefront of such efforts and has built an extensive expertise in semiconductors. Via its subsidiary. SEALSQ Corp (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/LAES#NASDAQ">LAES</a>), which focuses on semiconductors, PKI, and post-quantum technology products, WISeKey offers countries the opportunity to develop their own semiconductor personalization centers through Public-Private Partnerships (PPPs). This initiative aims to reduce reliance on foreign semiconductor manufacturing, thereby enhancing global supply chain security.
The development of a ab in Switzerland will require a careful balance of incentives, support, R&amp;D, innovation, and access to capital. As highly advanced facilities, semiconductor fabs face escalating costs due to various factors, and each project presents unique requirements and cost considerations. WISeKey aims to raise awareness of the essential role a Swiss-based fab will play in building the foundations for the country's innovation landscape. Given the project's complexity and cost, establishing a close partnership and a solid investment case is crucial to its success.
The project's objective in Switzerland is to start with a mini fab (a smaller-scale semiconductor fabrication facility) and gradually expand it into a full-scale semiconductor fab over the next 10 years. This phased approach allows for manageable investment, initial production capabilities, and flexibility to scale operations in line with technological advancements and market demands. Starting with a mini fab can cost between $100 million to $1.5 billion, depending on the desired technology node and production capacity. Over time, the facility can be expanded with the latest equipment and processes, eventually reaching the scale and capability of a full fab, which may involve a total investment of several billion. This gradual growth strategy aligns with Switzerland's goal of fostering a domestic semiconductor ecosystem and innovation cluster.
Currently, Switzerland heavily relies on imports to meet its semiconductor needs. This new fab project is set to mitigate that dependence, enhance the domestic chip production ecosystem, create new jobs, and attract further investments in the technology and space sector. Locally produced chips will become essential for various industries within Switzerland, contributing to a more resilient global supply chain.

Daiichi Sankyo (TSE: 4568) and AstraZeneca's (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/AZN#NASDAQ">AZN</a>) supplemental Biologics License Application (sBLA) for ENHERTU&#xAE; (fam-trastuzumab deruxtecan-nxki) has been accepted and granted Priority Review in the U.S. for the treatment of adult patients with unresectable or metastatic HER2 low (IHC 1+ or IHC 2+/ISH-) or HER2 ultralow (IHC 0 with membrane staining) breast cancer who have received at least one endocrine therapy in the metastatic setting.
ENHERTU is a specifically engineered HER2 directed DXd antibody drug conjugate (ADC) discovered by Daiichi Sankyo and being jointly developed and commercialized by Daiichi Sankyo and AstraZeneca.
The U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) grants Priority Review to applications for medicines that, if approved, would offer significant improvements over available treatment options by demonstrating safety or efficacy improvements, preventing serious conditions or enhancing patient compliance. The Prescription Drug User Fee Act (PDUFA) date, the FDA action date for their regulatory decision, is February 1, 2025. The Priority Review follows receipt of Breakthrough Therapy Designation <a href="https://cts.businesswire.com/ct/CT?id=smartlink&amp;url=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.daiichisankyo.com%2Ffiles%2Fnews%2Fpressrelease%2Fpdf%2F202408%2F20240819_E1.pdf&amp;esheet=54129231&amp;newsitemid=20240930807595&amp;lan=en-US&amp;anchor=granted&amp;index=1&amp;md5=c82129aaf52e5fdfcdcfd5c5d0f72567">granted</a> by the FDA for ENHERTU based on data from the <a href="https://cts.businesswire.com/ct/CT?id=smartlink&amp;url=https%3A%2F%2Fclinicaltrials.gov%2Fstudy%2FNCT04494425&amp;esheet=54129231&amp;newsitemid=20240930807595&amp;lan=en-US&amp;anchor=DESTINY-Breast06&amp;index=2&amp;md5=ecfc5698cd40f1242f214ba893845e59">DESTINY-Breast06</a> phase 3 trial in August 2024.
Hormone receptor (HR) positive, HER2 negative is the most common breast cancer subtype, accounting for approximately 70% of all breast cancers.1 Despite being classified as HER2 negative, many of these tumors still carry some level of HER2 expression.2 It is estimated that up to 85% to 90% of tumors historically classified as HR positive, HER2 negative, may be HER2 low or HER2 ultralow.3,4
The sBLA is based on data from DESTINY-Breast06 <a href="https://cts.businesswire.com/ct/CT?id=smartlink&amp;url=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.daiichisankyo.com%2Ffiles%2Fnews%2Fpressrelease%2Fpdf%2F202406%2F20240602_E2.pdf&amp;esheet=54129231&amp;newsitemid=20240930807595&amp;lan=en-US&amp;anchor=presented&amp;index=3&amp;md5=60d743b75d92125e38563f950191d661">presented</a> as a late-breaking oral session at the 2024 American Society of Clinical Oncology (#ASCO24) Annual Meeting and recently published in <a href="https://cts.businesswire.com/ct/CT?id=smartlink&amp;url=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.nejm.org&amp;esheet=54129231&amp;newsitemid=20240930807595&amp;lan=en-US&amp;anchor=The+New+England+Journal+of+Medicine&amp;index=4&amp;md5=1e3a45484df713407df2ad6cdbca0eba">The New England Journal of Medicine</a>. In the overall trial population, ENHERTU reduced the risk of disease progression or death by 37% by blinded independent central review (BICR) versus chemotherapy (hazard ratio [HR] 0.63; 95% confidence interval [CI]: 0.53-0.75; p&lt;0.0001). Median progression-free survival (PFS) was 13.2 months with ENHERTU compared to 8.1 months with chemotherapy.
Results were consistent in patients with HER2 low expression and HER2 ultralow expression. In the primary endpoint analysis of patients with HR positive, HER2 low metastatic breast cancer, median PFS was 13.2 months in the ENHERTU arm compared to 8.1 months in the chemotherapy arm (HR 0.62; 95% CI: 0.51-0.74; p&lt;0.0001), as assessed by BICR. In a prespecified exploratory analysis of patients with HER2 ultralow expression, ENHERTU showed a median PFS of 13.2 months versus 8.3 months, respectively (HR 0.78; 95% CI: 0.50-1.21).
The safety profile of ENHERTU in DESTINY-Breast06 was consistent with previous breast cancer clinical trials with no new safety concerns identified. The most common grade 3 or higher treatment related treatment emergent adverse events (TEAEs) occurring in 5% or more of patients treated with ENHERTU were neutropenia (20.7%), leukopenia (6.9%) and anemia (5.8%). Interstitial lung disease (ILD) or pneumonitis occurred in 11.3% of patients treated with ENHERTU. The majority of ILD or pneumonitis events were low grade (grade 1 [n=7; 1.6%] or grade 2 [n=36; 8.3%]). There were three grade 3 ILD events (0.7%), zero grade 4 events and three grade 5 events (0.7%) as determined by an independent adjudication committee.
"This Priority Review highlights the potential to expand the existing indication of ENHERTU in HER2 low metastatic breast cancer to include use in an earlier disease setting as well as in a broader patient population that includes HER2 ultralow," said Ken Takeshita, MD, Global Head, R&amp;D, Daiichi Sankyo. "We look forward to working closely with the FDA with the goal of bringing ENHERTU to more patients as quickly as possible."
"While endocrine therapies are widely used in the initial treatment of HR positive metastatic breast cancer, most patients see limited benefit with additional lines of treatment and subsequent chemotherapy is associated with poor response rates and outcomes," said Susan Galbraith, MBBChir, PhD, Executive Vice President, Oncology R&amp;D, AstraZeneca. "The results from DESTINY-Breast06 show that ENHERTU has the potential to evolve the current HR positive treatment landscape and become the first targeted treatment for patients with HER2 low or HER2 ultralow expression following endocrine therapy."

Nobel laureate Paul Krugman has taken a potshot at former President Donald Trump&#8216;s campaign for focusing on what he <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/equities/24/09/40743901/elon-musk-and-trumps-federal-efficiency-plans-slammed-by-paul-krugman-economist-warns-about-risk">describes as &#8220;imaginary&#8221; problems</a>.
What Happened: In a post on X, formerly Twitter, Krugman accused the Trump campaign of denouncing a non-existent bad economy, runaway crime, and alleged failures by President Joe Biden and Vice President Kamala Harris&#8216; administration.
According to Krugman, &#8220;We've all become desensitized, but it's amazing how at this point the Trump campaign rests entirely on denouncing things that aren't happening — a imaginary bad economy, imaginary runaway crime and now an imaginary failure of Biden and Harris to respond to natural disaster<a href="https://x.com/paulkrugman/status/1840868481807298587"></a>.&#8221; 
He elaborated on his views in an opinion <a href="https://www.nytimes.com/2024/09/30/opinion/trump-inflation.html">piece</a> for The New York Times published the same day.
In his opinion piece titled &#8220;Why Trumponomics Could Lead to Trumpflation,&#8221; Krugman warned that Trump&#8217;s economic policies could lead to significant inflation. He argued that Trump&#8217;s proposed high tariffs, mass deportations, and undermining of the Federal Reserve&#8217;s independence would disrupt the economy.
Krugman also highlighted that the Federal Reserve&#8217;s preferred measure of consumer prices rose only 2.2% over the past year, close to its 2% target, without causing a recession. 
He credited the Biden administration for not pressuring the Fed to keep rates low, which helped manage inflation expectations.
Krugman concluded that Trump&#8217;s policies could lead to long-term stagflation, contrasting the current administration&#8217;s handling of economic issues.

Why It Matters: Krugman&#8217;s comments come amid heightened scrutiny of Trump&#8217;s economic policies. Earlier this month, Krugman criticized Elon Musk and Trump&#8217;s federal efficiency plans, warning about risks to Medicare and Social Security. 
He stated, &#8220;The federal government is an <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/equities/24/09/40743901/elon-musk-and-trumps-federal-efficiency-plans-slammed-by-paul-krugman-economist-warns-about-risk">insurance company with an army</a>. You can&#8217;t make major spending cuts without slashing Social Security, Medicare and Medicaid and/or weakening national defense.&#8221;
In mid-September, Trump voiced his disapproval of the Federal Reserve&#8217;s <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/24/09/40931251/trump-isnt-happy-with-jerome-powells-50-bps-rate-cut-maneuver-i-guess-it-shows-the-economy-is-very-b">decision to cut its benchmark interest rate by half a percentage point</a>, suggesting it indicated a faltering U.S. economy or a politically motivated action. He said, &#8220;I guess it shows the economy is very bad to cut it by that much, assuming that they are not just playing politics.&#8221; 
Additionally, Trump has claimed that inflation has cost <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/personal-finance/24/09/41047735/trump-claims-inflation-has-cost-american-households-28-000-is-he-right-heres-what-financial-expe">American households $28,000</a>, a figure that has sparked debate among economists and analysts. During a rally in Las Vegas, Trump asserted that &#8220;the worst inflation in American history&#8221; has caused severe financial strain for American families.
Adding to the controversy, Trump recently launched a $100,000 luxury watch collection, while his wife, Melania Trump, voiced concerns over <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/24/09/41080258/while-trump-launches-100k-luxury-watch-wife-melania-trump-talks-about-rising-inflation-the-country-i">rising inflation and its impact on American families</a>.

Today's Biggest Pre-Market Stock Movers: 10 Top Gainers and Losers on Tuesday

<a href="https://investorplace.com">InvestorPlace - Stock Market News, Stock Advice &amp; Trading Tips</a>
TransCode Therapeutics&nbsp;(NASDAQ:<a href="https://investorplace.com/stock-quotes/rnaz-stock-quote/">RNAZ</a>) stock is taking a beating on Tuesday after the biopharmaceutical company announced the pricing for a public offering of its shares.



TransCode Therapeutics is <a href="https://www.nasdaq.com/press-release/transcode-therapeutics-inc-announces-pricing-public-offering-2024-07-22">selling 10 million shares</a> of its common stock for 30 cents each. This has it expecting to raise gross proceeds of $30 million from the public offering of RNAZ stock.



TransCode Therapeutics says it will use the money from this offering mostly for product development activities. That includes more clinical trials of TTX-MC138. This is its lead product candidate for the treatment of metastatic tumors.



<h2>What This Means for RNAZ Stock</h2>



A public offering increases the total number of outstanding shares on the market. That&rsquo;s a blow to current investors in RNAZ as it reduces their stakes in the company. This is one reason why TransCode Therapeutics&rsquo; stock is falling today.



On top of that, the public offering price is a significant discount over its prior closing price of 79 cents. It makes sense that the price of RNAZ stock would drop with it offering news shares for just 30 cents each.



RNAZ stock is down 62.1% as of Tuesday morning. That comes with about 1.4 million shares traded, as compared to a daily average of around 1.3 million shares.

</ul>On Penny Stocks and Low-Volume Stocks:&#8239;With only the rarest exceptions, InvestorPlace does not publish commentary about companies that have a market cap of less than $100 million or trade less than 100,000 shares each day. That&rsquo;s because these &ldquo;penny stocks&rdquo; are frequently the playground for scam artists and market manipulators. If we ever do publish commentary on a low-volume stock that may be affected by our commentary, we demand that&#8239;InvestorPlace.com&rsquo;s writers disclose this fact and warn readers of the risks.

Why Is TransCode Therapeutics (RNAZ) Stock Down 62% Today?

<a href="https://investorplace.com">InvestorPlace - Stock Market News, Stock Advice &amp; Trading Tips</a>
Mira Pharmaceuticals&nbsp;(NASDAQ:<a href="https://investorplace.com/stock-quotes/mira-stock-quote/">MIRA</a>) stock is down on Tuesday as the clinical-stage pharmaceutical company&rsquo;s shares come off of a major rally on Monday.



Shares of MIRA stock closed out Monday&rsquo;s normal trading hours up 627.4%. That came alongside heavy trading with <a href="https://finance.yahoo.com/quote/MIRA/">more than 153 million shares traded</a>. For comparison, its daily average trading volume is about 3.2 million shares.



Mira Pharmaceuticals stock experienced this rally after releasing data from a <a href="https://investorplace.com/2024/07/why-is-mira-pharmaceuticals-mira-stock-up-318-today/">pre-clinical study of Ketamir-2</a>. This is the company&rsquo;s novel oral ketamine analog designed to treat neurological and neuropsychiatric disorders.



The big news here is that the results were positive. This has the company excited about the prospect of furthering the development of Ketamir-2 and submitting an investigational new drug (IND) application for it.



<h2>MIRA Stock Movement on Tuesday</h2>



Considering the massive rally MIRA shares underwent yesterday, it makes sense they would give up some of those gains in the days to follow. This has the stock dropping 27.4% as of Tuesday morning.



Today&rsquo;s dip comes with more than 5.5 million shares changing hands this morning. That&rsquo;s already above its daily average trading volume but is well below yesterday&rsquo;s heavy trading.
