For transparency I don't hold VAST anymore and probably never will with AP at the helm.
In my opinion the only reason the SP rose on the update yesterday was due to the statement of no placing for the foreseeable when it comes to BP. The rest of the news was stuff that the market was expecting and should have been implemented the best part of 6 months ago when production started to get into a swing. Also worth noting despite that update it will still be a number of months till the mine is turning a profit as per the plan they released.
I believe the consolidation is ill timed and doesn't need to happen until the mine is profitable, all the long term holders see it as them reseting the book ready for placing again.
We have no further information on Zimb, no update on the T1 bank finance facility and most importantly how they plan to address the situation with Atlas and them potentially converting. I wouldn't be surprised if the consolidation is in preparation for Atlas converting so they can shift them easier.
We have 3-4 lots of placings that have happened between the current SP and .20. That's a lot of shares that will most likely flipped as soon as they're in profit. So it will be a long road to any SP rise however consolidation may help with this if the share can maintain decent daily volume.
It is not the first or even second time AP has come out saying no more placings to then proceed and place a month later.
VAST is smoke and mirrors and so many unanswered questions in its long past.
Has AP reached a turning point? No.
Has VAST reached a turning point? Maybe.
Next few months and how they handle Atlas is key to how the company and the share price respectively do.
