Intuitive Machines stock dips as Canaccord lowers price target on debt offering

Investing.com - Intuitive Machines Inc. (NASDAQ:LUNR) saw its price target lowered by Canaccord Genuity to $18.50 from $19.00, while the firm maintained its Buy rating on the stock. The new target represents significant upside potential from the current price of $9.08, though the stock has declined over 13% in the past week and more than 50% year-to-date. According to InvestingPro data, analyst targets for LUNR range from $10.50 to $19.00.

The price target adjustment follows Intuitive Machines’ completion of a $345 million convertible debt offering on Tuesday. The 2.50% senior notes, which mature in 2030, carry a conversion price of approximately $13.11 per share, representing a 25% premium over the company’s closing price of $10.49 on Wednesday, August 13, 2025. InvestingPro analysis shows the company maintains strong liquidity with a current ratio of 3.7, indicating robust short-term financial health.

The offering was initially announced at $250 million before being upsized to $300 million, with an additional $45 million option for initial purchasers that was fully exercised. After fees, the company expects to receive net proceeds of approximately $335.5 million.

Intuitive Machines plans to use about $36.8 million of the proceeds for hedging with capped call transactions, which are designed to minimize Class A equity dilution associated with the notes. The capped call transactions have an initial cap price set at $20.98 per share.

The completed transaction significantly increases the company’s available liquidity to approximately $643.6 million, based on its cash and equivalents balance from the second quarter of 2025, according to Canaccord Genuity.
