Shares of POET Technologies (NASDAQ: POET) fell on Friday, finishing the day down 7.3%. The drop came as the S&P 500 and Nasdaq Composite gained 0.3% and 0.4%, respectively.<\/p>\n

The stock has lost roughly 40% since peaking above $20 in mid-May, after nearly tripling from its early month levels. It closed Friday near $12.30.<\/p>\n

Missed Nvidia in 2009? This Rare Signal Is Flashing Again.\u00a0In 2009, a “Double Down” signal flashed for a little-known chipmaker called Nvidia.\u00a0For the first time in years, that same “Total Conviction” signal is flashing for a company 1\/100th the size of Nvidia.\u00a0Continue \u00bb<\/a><\/p>\n

Why POET Technologies’ stock dropped again on Friday <\/p>\n

There’s no single catalyst for today’s drop; rather, it’s the weight of several problems continuing to compound. Late last month, Marvell’s AI division canceled all purchase orders with the company, sending shares down roughly 47% in a single session.<\/p>\n

Then came a $400 million registered direct offering that added about 19 million new shares, along with matching warrants, diluting shareholders.<\/p>\n

And on top of that, multiple securities class actions are now targeting the company over tax misstatements and other allegations.<\/p>\n

A mountain of problems keeps growing <\/p>\n

And of course, there is the valuation. POET technology stock, even after its 40% decline, trades at a multiple that makes quantum computing stocks<\/a> look reasonably priced — a price to sales (P\/S) ratio of over 1,000.<\/p>\n

The technology is promising, but between questionable management decisions and an absurd valuation, I would hold off on POET stock.<\/p>\n
