Shares of online grocery delivery platform Instacart (NASDAQ:CART) jumped 6% in the afternoon session after the company launched an embedded shopping and checkout app inside ChatGPT, making it the first grocery partner to offer such a feature.

Shares of 3D printing company 3D Systems (NYSE:DDD) fell 18.1% in the afternoon session after the company announced it agreed to exchange approximately $30.8 million of its convertible notes for about 16.6 million shares of common stock. This move, while aimed at reducing the company's debt, was viewed negatively by investors primarily due to the dilutive effect on existing shares. Issuing millions of new shares means that each existing share represents a smaller portion of the company. Compounding these concerns, 3D Systems confirmed that it would not receive any cash from the transaction, which raised questions about its financial flexibility. The exchange occurred as the company was already navigating challenging market conditions, and the market's reaction suggested that worries about shareholder dilution outweighed the benefit of a lower debt load.
