Reverse stock splits are often viewed as a measure to prop up the share price, especially if a company is at risk of delisting due to a low share price. While it may lead to a higher stock price in the short term, it does not change the company's market capitalization or its underlying fundamentals. Investors may have mixed reactions, seeing it either as a positive step towards compliance with exchange listing standards or as a sign of trouble. The long-term impact will depend on the company's performance post-split.
