GrabAGun Goes Public Through SPAC Deal with Donald Trump Jr.'s Help
NEW YORK CITY, NEW YORK, JUL 16 – GrabAGun raised $179 million through a SPAC merger to fund growth despite its stock dropping over 20% on debut, with Donald Trump Jr. joining the board to support conservative causes.
- On Wednesday morning, GrabAGun Digital Holdings went public on the New York Stock Exchange as Donald Trump Jr. rang the opening bell, and shares tanked on their first trading day.
- GrabAGun merged with SPAC Colombier Acquisition Corp II, raising $179 million in gross proceeds, and now trades under the ticker PEW.
- Shares of GrabAGun Digital Holdings fell as much as 30% on Thursday, extending deep losses from its Wednesday debut and dropping to $9.24 under the PEW ticker.
- Investors haven't cheered this Trump-linked firm, with Marcus Sturdivant Sr. saying `It is challenging to grow a business when you isolate a large segment before your first stock is issued.`
- Soon, they will pick another conservative company to connect to capital markets, and evangelists bet right-leaning countercultural businesses will endure in the U.S. economy.
