Tesla (TSLA, $476.61) to sell $5 billion additional stock

On Tuesday, Tesla  announced plans to sell up to $5 billion worth of its stock in an "at-the-market" offering program.

In a Securities and Exchange Commission filing, the electric carmaker stated that it has entered into a “equity distribution agreement” to sell up to 10 million shares, or about 1.1% of its total shares outstanding.

Tesla’s move apparently seeks to take advantage of its recent stock price climb and split. Its shares have surged more than +50% since it revealed plans for the stock split.
