While a regular stock split often signals success—making shares more accessible to everyday investors—a reverse stock split tells a different story. It’s a strategic, often urgent, maneuver designed to boost a company’s share price, primarily to avoid being delisted from a major exchange like Nasdaq.
This week, the market is seeing a flurry of these defensive moves. From biotech innovators to tech startups, these companies are consolidating their shares to stay compliant and signal to the market that they are fighting to remain in the game.
Here’s a look at the key stock splits investors are watching for the week of July 7 to July 11.
