NovaBay Pharmaceuticals Determines Unsolicited Offer From Refresh Acquisitions BidCo For An Affiliate Of Refresh To Acquire The Avenova Brand Is A Superior Proposal To Asset Purchase Agreement With PRN Physician Recommended Nutriceuticals,; Under Refresh Offer, Co. Would Receive Purchase Price Of Up To $11.5M, Subject To A Downside Net Working Capital Adjustment

NovaBay Pharmaceuticals, Inc. (AMEX:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/NBY#AMEX">NBY</a>) shares are trading higher after the company announced it reached a definitive agreement to sell its Avenova assets for $9.5 million to <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/24/09/40956105/novabay-pharmaceuticals-reaches-definitive-deal-to-sell-avenova-assets-for-9-5m-expected-to-close-q4">Physician Recommended Nutraceuticals</a>.
The Details: The company expects the transaction to close during the 2024 fourth quarter, pending NovaBay shareholder approval. 
&#8220;I believe we have found an ideal home for Avenova. We expect the brand to continue to grow and flourish under PRN&#8217;s capable leadership and their ability to promote Avenova through their existing network of more than 5,000 eyecare professionals,&#8221; said NovaBay CEO Justin Hall.
&#8220;It&#8217;s gratifying to share that more people are using Avenova than ever before and with the support, resources and synergies that PRN can provide, we expect that number to continue to grow.&#8221;
How To Buy NovaBay Shares
By now you're likely curious about how to participate in the market for NovaBay Pharmaceuticals (AMEX:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/NBY#AMEX">NBY</a>) &#8211; be it to purchase shares, or even attempt to bet against the company.
Buying shares is typically done through a brokerage account. You can find a list of <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/money/best-stock-trading-platforms">possible trading platforms here.</a> Many will allow you to buy ‘fractional shares,' which allows you to own portions of stock without buying an entire share. For example, some stock, like Berkshire Hathaway, or Amazon.com, can cost thousands of dollars to own just one share. However, if you only want to invest a fraction of that, brokerages will allow you to do so. 
mIf you're looking to bet against a company, the process is more complex. You'll need access to an options trading platform, or a broker who will allow you to ‘go short' a share of stock by lending you the shares to sell. The process of shorting a <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/money/how-to-short-a-stock">stock can be found at this resource.</a> Otherwise, if your broker allows you to trade options, you can either buy a put option, or sell a call option at a strike price above where shares are currently trading &#8211; either way it allows you to profit off of the share price decline.

NovaBay Pharmaceuticals Q2 EPS $(1.37) Misses $(1.23) Estimate, Sales $2.40M Miss $3.15M Estimate

NovaBay Pharmaceuticals Inc (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/NBY#NYSE">NBY</a>) shares are lower by 66% to $0.67 over the trailing five sessions after announcing the pricing of its <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/pressreleases/24/07/b39982871/novabay-pharmaceuticals-announces-pricing-of-3-5-million-underwritten-public-offering">public offering</a> of 3.2 million shares (or pre-funded warrants) and Series F-1, F-2, and F-3 warrants.

<h1 class="wp-block-heading">Is NBY A Good Stock To Buy?</h1>
An investor can make a few decisions when deciding whether a stock is a good buy. In addition to valuation metrics and price action which you can find on Benzinga's quote pages — like <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/NBY">NovaBay Pharmaceuticals</a>&#8216;s page for example — there are factors like whether or not a company pays a dividend or buys a large portion of its stock each quarter.
These are known as capital allocation programs. NovaBay Pharmaceuticals does not pay a dividend, but obviously there are a few ways it can return value to shareholders. Feel free to search Benzinga's <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/calendars/dividends">dividend calendar</a> for the next company due to pay a dividend and determine what kind of yield you can earn for holding a share of the company.
For example, if you're looking to earn an annualized return of 9.16%, you'll need to buy a share of Allspring Inc Opps by Aug. 12, 2024. Once done, you can expect to receive a nominal payout of $0.05 on Sep. 3.
Buyback programs are obviously different and highly variable. A company can approve a buyback program and purchase shares as it sees fit over the course of time in which the buyback was authorized. 
Looking through the latest news on <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/NBY">NovaBay Pharmaceuticals</a> will often yield whether or not the company has approved a buyback program recently. Buyback programs usually serve as a support for share prices, serving as a backstop for demand.
According to data from <a href="https://benzinga.grsm.io/register174">Benzinga Pro</a>, NBY has a 52-week high of $44.80 and a 52-week low of $0.64.

Whether to sell or hold a stock largely depends on an investor's strategy and risk tolerance. Swing traders may sell an outperforming stock to lock in a capital gain, while long-term investors might ride out the turbulence in anticipation of further share price growth.
Similarly, traders willing to minimize losses may sell a stock that falls a certain percentage, while long-term investors may see this as an opportunity to buy more shares at a discounted price.
Investors may also consider market dynamics. The Relative Strength Index can be used to indicate whether a stock is overbought or oversold. NovaBay Pharmaceuticals stock currently has an RSI of 25.04, indicating oversold conditions.
