Why did EUR fall 13.6% on 29 Jan 2026?
European
European Lithium's proposed all-scrip acquisition of Velta may have been viewed negatively by the market, likely due to dilution or strategic concerns.
The only company-specific news is the announcement of a proposed all-scrip acquisition, which often leads to share price declines due to dilution concerns unless the market views it very positively. No other major news explains the magnitude of the move, but the lack of detail limits confidence.
