New share offering isn't necessary dilutive. Technically, an offering is defined as dilutive if the end result is a decrease in EPS. If the return from the funds raised through the offering is used in an investment that is greater than the firm's subsequent WACC, it would be accretive. In addition, an equity offering may move the firm to a more optimal capital structure that results in a lower WACC; consequently, that would also be accretive.
