A reverse stock split is a double-edged financing sword
Reverse stock splits are occasionally used by public companies to consolidate shares, notably when a company’s share price drops below an exchange’s threshold for listing. A reverse stock split can have immediate benefits, but long-term drawbacks also exist for corporations and their investors, necessitating a close look before deciding.
On the positive side, a reverse stock split can elevate a company's market image by raising its share price, potentially attracting institutional investors. This technique can also be a buffer when a company's stock price threatens to dip below exchange listing requirements, maintaining the crucial compliance status. Successful implementations of this strategy, such as by Priceline in 2003 and Sirius XM Holdings in 2008, illustrate its potential benefits.
Conversely, there are potential pitfalls to consider when contemplating a reverse split. Investors often perceive this move as an implicit admission of financial trouble which can lead to a drop in share price. Citigroup's experience in 2011 serves as a cautionary tale. Moreover, a reverse split can result in fractional shares, inadvertently diluting shareholder value. The elevated share price might also deter smaller retail investors, leading to increased share price volatility.
Given these complexities, it is often advised that reverse stock splits be considered a strategy of last resort.
