In other words; they plan to dilute their shareholders.
This is a play to not have their share price look as bad when it consumer good drop in the recession thats likely right around the corner.

There won’t be a big drop in stocks this year. If we go into a recession. It won’t be as bad as the one we were just in during part of 2023. This market is getting ready to soar upwards through the year.
