NEGATIVE IMPACT
Genprex's stock price is likely to experience downward pressure in the short term due to the negative investor sentiment typically associated with reverse stock splits.
Reverse stock splits are often executed by companies to boost their share price to comply with exchange listing standards or to make the stock more attractive to institutional investors. However, they can also be interpreted as a sign of trouble, such as a lack of positive growth prospects or potential dilution of shareholder value. This negative perception can lead to a short-term decline in the stock price.
