Investors saw Skydance Media's stock price drop a lot this week. The media company gave out a large number of stock warrants. This move caused the stock to fall over 22% in one day.

A stock warrant gives its owner the right to buy company shares later at a set price. Skydance gave out almost 471 million of these warrants. Eligible shareholders received them.

The distribution means more shares could enter the market. This often makes existing shares less valuable. Investors reacted by selling their Skydance stock.
