Stock consolidation PEK, am I missing something?

PEK (Peak Resources) did a consolidation (10 for 1). 2 Dec 21 close was 0.70 and next trading day (13 Dec) close was 0.82. Today trading at (0.855 highest price, as at 2pm). I would expect price to change by a factor of about X10, otherwise the consolidation reduces one's investment by about 90%. What am I missing? I don't own PEK, just want to understand the logic.
 
otherwise the consolidation reduces one's investment by about 90%. What am I missing?
and sadly in MANY cases that is precisely what happens ( BSL was a notable exception for me , but still a rarity )

BUT that downward trend can take time and may not happen in a steady fashion , it might swing around on good and bad news quite violently

also according to some charts i glanced at before the consolidation the share price was around the 7 to 8 cent range ( i did say SOME various sources do NOT display similar information )

cheers

Your expectation is "as a general rule", correct, however Mr Market will often exploit these situations, long and short.

So what you are possibly not realising is, that most charts get historically adjusted also by the consolidation figure x10 for the price, historical volume gets divided by 10.
So, like magic, you look at a chart and can't tell there's been a consolidation....

As @divs4ever stated, the share price was around $0.07 before the consolidation and name change. Ticker stays same, in this case.

The first day of consolidated trade has the market set the open price (forget the term used associated with this), hopefully things match up with consolidated values.
 
ah-ha , i missed the name change , that would explain a bit

thanks

( quite obviously i wasn't following this share )

cheers
 
The more I look at this the more confusing it becomes.
2 Dec it was announced that ASIC had accepted the name change from Peak Resources LTD to Peak Rare Earths LTD.
ASX ticker code (PEK) did not change.
 
ASX price data for the period early Dec is different from Tradingview.
However, both ASX and Tradingview show that holders are worse off. Why would shareholders vote in favour of every 10 converted into 1 share effective 30 Nov 21?
Say I held 10 shares X $0.66 (ASX closing price 29 Nov), which is worth $6.60
After the 10 shares are consolidated into 1, the holding is worth 1X $0.835 (today's close on ASX) = $0.835
I am $6.52 worse off.
BTW ASX shows 52 week range $0.54 to $1.550.

that is a fairly normal option denoting a change of business focus ( much like sticking .com on your name in the 1990's , in this case )

obviously more necessary if they changed the business model from mineral exploration to say agriculture or financial services

but hints a little of PR but not as big a red flag to me as the consolidation itself

for those attracted by the rare earths story , one should study LYC as an example of what can go wrong with a company trying to follow the rules in a land of shifting government policies ( yes this time it was Malaysia , but could have easily have been in parts of Australia or Africa )

but don't fret there is PLENTY to learn in the investing/share-market game whether a novice or well versed veteran

that is the 'weird ' data i was talking about , although i was using other sources

i think you would find the 10 shares were worth closer to 7 cents each ( according to one chart in late November ) ( 70 cents in total and SO FAR the changes have had a positive effect , probably the 'Rare Earths ' tag )

this is one benefit of NOT relying on just one resource when researching it only takes some sloppy keyboard entries , or slow updates to have you in immediate loss ( and yes sometimes i get bitten also .. usually slow updates on outstanding debt )

@Bourseboy A shareholder is better off after this consolidation not worse off.

If the prices in @divs4ever csv are correct (as they seem to be).

On the close of 1/12/2021, a PEK shareholder with 10 shares had a market value of 0.070 x 10 = 0.70

On the open of 13/12/2021 the PEK shareholder had their holding divided by 10 and were worth 0.81 (x1). This is an increase not a decrease.

Why the increase? During the gap between the dates PEK probably traded under a temporary code (PEKxx or something like that) while the consolidation was sorted. Over the course of these 12 days, investors must have liked the company's name change and renewed focus in the hot "rare earth" sector and bid the price higher. When trading resumed under the normal PEK code (13/12) the price had risen.
 
yes worth watching to see if this is the rare consolidation that keeps moving higher , although i suspect at sub $1 there will still be plenty of trading action on this stock ( given it was fairly volatile leading up to the consolidation )
