An update from Calidi Biotherapeutics ( (CLDI) ) is now available.

On March 6, 2026, Calidi Biotherapeutics, Inc. entered an underwriting agreement with Ladenburg Thalmann for an underwritten public offering of 2,278,731 common stock units and 9,815,900 pre-funded warrant units, raising about $6.03 million in gross proceeds. The units, priced at $0.50 for common stock units and $0.499 for pre-funded units, included multiple series of immediately exercisable common stock warrants with structured reset features, and the company plans to use the funds for working capital and general corporate purposes.

The offering, which closed on March 9, 2026, also granted the underwriter a warrant for up to 604,732 shares and imposed short-term restrictions on Calidi’s ability to issue additional equity or enter variable-rate financings, while directors and executives agreed to 90-day lock-ups. Separately, on March 5, 2026, Calidi amended terms of existing Series G, H and I warrants, cutting their exercise price to $0.50 per share, a move that, together with the new issuance, reshapes the company’s capital structure and increases potential equity dilution for existing shareholders, with 10,545,725 common shares outstanding as of March 11, 2026.

The most recent analyst rating on (CLDI) stock is a Sell with a $0.93 price target. To see the full list of analyst forecasts on Calidi Biotherapeutics stock, see the CLDI Stock Forecast page.

Spark’s Take on CLDI Stock

According to Spark, TipRanks’ AI Analyst, CLDI is a Neutral.

The score is held down primarily by persistent losses and significant cash burn with no revenue base, despite improved leverage and positive equity. Technicals also remain broadly bearish (below key moving averages and negative MACD), while corporate events provide a modest offset through financing and encouraging preclinical progress. Valuation contributes little given the negative P/E and no dividend yield.
