Aurora Cannabis falls on capital raise, reverse stock split

Aurora Cannabis Inc's (TO:ACB) (N:ACB) U.S.-listed shares fell nearly 14% in morning trade on Monday after the Canadian pot producer renewed an at-the-market offering under which it can raise as much as $350 million in equity capital. The company said its board also approved a reverse stock split of 1:12 to boost its share price above $1, the minimum required to maintain a listing on the New York Stock Exchange. Aurora's U.S.-listed shares were last trading below 80 cents. Companies in the nascent marijuana industry had a rough 2019 and things are worsening this year, with many running out of cash at a time when the coronavirus pandemic has investors on the sidelines across all sectors.
