Issuing stock does precisely nothing to the valuation.

IE, imagine if they double the amount of stock.

Each stock is now half of the equity that is was before, so price would be cut in half.

Issuing (and selling) shares DOES change the valuation. The price is not cut in half because the company is worth now more than before (it has lots of cash).
