Why did LOT fall 62.1% on 27 Jul 2026?
Lotus Res.
Lotus Resources crashed 57% on resumption of trading after completing a deeply discounted institutional entitlement offer capital raise, with new shares issued at a price far below the previous trading price.
The ASX announcements confirm the stock was suspended and reinstated simultaneously with the completion of an institutional entitlement offer bookbuild — a classic pattern where shares are issued at a steep discount to fund operations, causing the price to reset sharply lower upon reinstatement. News headlines directly name the capital raise as the cause of the 57% crash, and the Kalkine article explicitly links the 'deep-discount capital raise' to the price collapse. The sector index (Materials) actually rose 2.4% on the same day, ruling out any sector-wide or macro driver and confirming this is entirely company-specific.
