It did change. A new higher strike price was set and the share count was reduced so the $ value was the same in the end.
> Your stuff about the multiplier effect is not really how stock trading works. Market professionals think in terms of percentages in general, so having a stock go from $3 to $60 is exactly the same as having it go from $0.05 to $1.
Sure, the percentage is the same but isn't it "easier" for a stock to go from $1 to $3 vs $100 to $300? The 2nd one means the stock's value needs to jump by $200 but the first one is only $2.
It seemed like a mechanism to control the multiplier effect from producing a very high return.
- seanhunter 3y agoThat sucks. Yeah that's a consolidation and generally it's not good news.
- nickjj 3y agoThanks. When Googling for that, it's finding a lot of general consolidation definitions. Throwing in terms like liquidity event, strike price adjustment, etc. didn't narrow it down to something that looked relatable. Is there a specific name or way to categorize this type of consolidation for the example I provided?
