NEGATIVE IMPACT
Virgin Galactic's announcement of a potential reverse stock split has led to a significant drop in its stock price, reaching all-time lows. Analysts have a mixed outlook with an average 12-month price target of $1.5.
The announcement of a potential reverse stock split typically indicates a company's attempt to boost its stock price to meet exchange listing requirements or improve perception, which can lead to negative investor sentiment in the short term. The significant drop in SPCE's stock price and the high percentage of shares being sold short reflect a lack of confidence from the market. The mixed analyst ratings and the recent downward trend in price targets further contribute to the negative short-term outlook for SPCE.
