Defense contractor Lyntris, shareholders raise about $298 million in downsized US IPO

Lyntris raised $297.5M in a downsized U.S. IPO after pricing below the marketed range and selling fewer shares as the summer listing window nears its end. The below-range pricing and reduced share count point to weaker-than-expected demand. Overall, the update is more stock-specific than market-wide but may weigh on sentiment around similar IPOs.
