ORLANDO, FL / ACCESSWIRE / October 10, 2022 / Laser Photonics Corporation LASE, ("LPC"), a leading global industrial developer of Cleantech laser systems for laser cleaning and other materials applications, today commented on its post-IPO stock performance and provided an updated capitalization table as of October 10, 2022.
The shares began trading on September 30, 2022, on the Nasdaq Capital Market under the ticker symbol "LASE," with a float of 3.0 million shares. LPC Management and ICT Investments, LLC (the Company's controlling shareholder) are subject to a 180-day lockup that prevents them from selling stock, as are other insiders that bought stock as part of the IPO.
Wayne Tupuola, chief executive officer of Laser Photonics, commented: "While I can only speculate about the share price performance since pricing the IPO, I know that our fundamentals are solid, with strong revenue growth and profits. I also know the management team did not sell a single share in the IPO and has not sold any shares in subsequent trading.
"Our IPO provided us with the necessary funding to execute the initial phases of our growth strategy to disrupt the corrosion control market with our line of CleanTech laser cleaning products. I believe the sheer size of the opportunity, the disruptive capability of our current products and those in development, and our ability to execute will create significant shareholder value over time for our current and prospective investors."
