Intuitive Machines, Inc. (NASDAQ:LUNR) stock is trading lower after the company disclosed a new at-the-market equity offering program that allows it to sell up to $500 million of Class A common stock over time.

The filing may be weighing on investor sentiment because the facility creates the potential for future shareholder dilution if shares are sold.

Files $500 Million At-The-Market Stock Offering Program

On Wednesday, Intuitive Machines disclosed a new at-the-market equity offering program that allows the company to sell up to $500 million of Class A common stock from time to time through a syndicate of investment banks.

The program was established under a shelf registration statement that became effective on June 2. Shares may be sold at prevailing market prices through Nasdaq, privately negotiated transactions or other permitted methods.

Intuitive Machines will pay the sales agents a commission of up to 3% of gross proceeds. The company said the facility provides flexibility to raise capital as needed and does not require it to sell the full $500 million authorized.

Critical Levels To Watch for LUNR Stock

From a trend perspective, LUNR is still in a strong longer-term uptrend: the stock is trading 21.3% above its 50-day SMA ($28.19), 46.8% above its 100-day SMA ($23.30), and 98.4% above its 200-day SMA ($17.24). That stack of rising moving averages—plus the 20-day SMA staying above the 50-day SMA—keeps the intermediate trend constructive even if the stock chops near-term.

Near-term, price is sitting 2.1% below the 20-day SMA ($34.93) and also below the 20-day EMA ($35.22), which often acts like a “line in the sand” for momentum names. RSI is the cleaner read right now: at 50.21, it’s neutral, meaning the stock isn’t stretched and is more likely in a digestion phase than in a fresh momentum burst.

The bigger map still matters because LUNR is coming off a May swing high and a May 52-week high ($46.75), after RSI pushed into overbought territory in May. The March swing low is the last major “higher low” reference point on the chart, and the golden cross that printed in November 2025 continues to frame the longer-term bias as bullish unless the stock starts losing its intermediate moving averages.

  • Key Resistance: $34.93 — the 20-day SMA is the nearest overhead trend level after the stock slipped just below it
  • Key Support: $28.19 — the 50-day SMA is the most important nearby trend support in a pullback scenario
