Why it may matterVerify against the original reporting
The 1-for-35 reverse split lowers outstanding shares and can lift the stock price toward the NYSE American minimum price, reducing delisting risk and potentially enabling a rerating ahead of the Host Digital merger. Historically, reverse splits can provide a price floor but may not offset fundamental weaknesses; positive progression of the merger could amplify any initial price lift.
