Why did EUR fall 12.0% on 29 Apr 2026?
European
The stock dropped sharply after a massive takeover-related surge earlier in the week, with profit-taking and the merger's implied value at $0.58 per share likely capping further upside.
The news clearly shows a takeover bid was announced on 28 April, causing a 50% jump. The price move on 29 April is -12.05%, which is not directly explained by any new negative news; it aligns with likely profit-taking after the initial surge. No other negative driver is present in the articles, so the takeover event is the most plausible cause.
