Nerdy's 1-for-15 reverse split to restore NYSE listing, Aug 19, 2026

Why it may matterVerify against the original reporting
The reverse split directly addresses the NYSE minimum price requirement, reducing delisting risk and potentially improving investor perception; however, liquidity will be materially thinner due to a ~93% reduction in shares outstanding, which can constrain trading momentum and widen spreads. Historically, reverse splits can cause short-term price pops on compliance news but may not alter long-term fundamentals.
