(From Wikipedia, the free Encyclopedia)
The reverse stock split, or consolidation, is not as common. It can be used by a company to drive up the raw price of the shares, while leaving the valuation the same. This is used when a company's share price drops into the pennies, which makes it disappear from many financial companies' radar.
