Remember how, a couple of weeks ago, the quantum computing<\/a> company announced it would sell 26.87 million shares and raise $500 million in new money<\/a>? Well, it turns out Wall Street liked that idea so much that Quantum Computing was actually able to conduct a second share offering after the first one, and this second offering will raise $750 million. <\/p>\n Where to invest $1,000 right now? Our analyst team just revealed what they believe are the 10 best stocks to buy right now, when you join Stock Advisor. See the stocks \u00bb<\/a><\/p>\n That sounds like good news, but this morning, Quantum Computing stock crashed 14% through 9:45 a.m. ET.<\/p>\n Why is that?<\/p>\n Image source: Getty Images.<\/p>\n Quantum Computing’s second stock sale<\/p>\n Quantum Computing’s second stock sale<\/a> was “oversubscribed,” meaning there were more investors wanting to buy Quantum Computing stock than there were Quantum Computing shares for sale, helping to drive the price higher.<\/p>\n In total, the company says it managed to unload 37.2 million new shares, and at an average sale price of $20.17 per share. That’s a price 8% better than what it got for its stock offering two weeks ago. It is, however, a price significantly below where Quantum Computing closed out last week ($24.62), and the company’s shareholders today seem upset that the company is selling out so cheaply.<\/p>\n Will a second shoe drop and crush Quantum Computing stock?<\/p>\n Here’s a second reason investors might (soon) get upset: No sooner had Quantum Computing sold 26.87 million shares of stock to investors, then these same investors turned around and filed to resell the stock for a profit last week<\/a>.<\/p>\n Basically, they flipped the shares. They weren’t really “investing” in Quantum Computing stock because they believe the company will succeed; they simply traded in the shares — and then immediately backed out.<\/p>\n If that’s what happens to this new batch of 37.2 million shares, too… look out below<\/a>.<\/p>\n Should you invest $1,000 in Quantum Computing right now?<\/p>\n Before you buy stock in Quantum Computing, consider this:<\/p>\n The Motley Fool Stock Advisor analyst team just identified what they believe are the 10 best stocks<\/a> for investors to buy now\u2026 and Quantum Computing wasn\u2019t one of them.
