Ivanhoe Electric Inc. (NYSE American: IE) completed the full exercise of its underwriters’ option to purchase an additional 1.5 million shares of common stock at a public‑offering price of $15.00 per share, bringing the company’s total gross proceeds from the October 2025 offering to $172.5 million.
The initial 10 million‑share offering was priced on October 21, 2025, and was expected to close on October 23, 2025. The offering was led by BMO Capital Markets, J.P. Morgan, and National Bank of Canada Capital Markets, and generated approximately $150 million in gross proceeds.
Net proceeds from the combined offering will be used to complete remaining payments for land at the Santa Cruz Copper Project in Arizona, fund early development activities at the project, support exploration at current projects and joint ventures, and provide working‑capital and general corporate purposes.
The option exercise followed a 5.4% decline in the company’s share price on the Tuesday after the initial pricing, reflecting the market’s reaction to the additional dilution of 1.5 million shares. The overall market sentiment remains neutral, with analysts citing financial challenges but acknowledging the strategic importance of the Santa Cruz project.
The public offering was made pursuant to a Form S‑3 registration statement (No. 333‑273195) filed with the SEC and automatically declared effective on July 10, 2023. Ivanhoe Electric’s strategy emphasizes advanced mineral‑exploration technologies and a focus on U.S. assets, including a 50/50 joint venture with Saudi Arabian Mining Company Ma'aden to explore for minerals. Analysts have given the company a “Neutral” rating, noting the need for continued capital to advance its critical‑metals portfolio.
