More on Reverse Splits

Here is an article presented by NASDAQ late last eyar on reverse splits:

https://www.nasdaq.com/articles/the-impact-of-reverse-splits-on-low-priced-stocks-2021-10-28

Here are a couple of points from the article in case you don't have time to read the whole thing:

The data shows that the market cap of the median split also falls slightly, but some research suggests that’s due to weaker fundamentals in those low-priced stocks. We would highlight that those stocks that voluntarily reverse split closer to their “perfect” price (which we talk about more below) perform better than other reverse splits.

Notably, that is consistent with other academic research that finds that stocks generally drift downward post-reverse-split. However, the downward drift doesn’t appear to be extreme enough to erode the benefits of
completing the reverse split initially.


This article highlights the advantages from tradability of doing a reverse split.

Obviously, many reverse splits are done by junk companies and the results are, as many here and TH's CFO, fear. But TH is not a junk company so those fears are unjustified.

Do you have a problem with NASDAQ or the TSX making money if it helps you in the  process???? And exactly how is it that they make money on a reverse split?
Comment by jfm1330 on Mar 29, 2022 12:36pm
It was stock promotion, investor relations, american analysts coverage and now it's reverse split. Sorry, it's all stuff with no relation to the value creation that will only happen if the have real good scientific and clinical results. There will be no substitute for real good results, no promotion or financial tricks will change that. I understand the frustration, but that's the ...more

I'm sorry jfm1330, but you sound like a severely novice investor.  SPC01 is not wrong about how he views the investment world and the need for THTX leadership to engage capital markets, institutional investors, and retail investors in different ways.  He's not wrong about reverse splits either.  One of my other investments did a reverse split two years ago.  It was a ...more

You have the right to think wathever you want of me. I don't care. That does not change the reality. This company is old and only game changing results will change how it is perceived. If they have something meaningful in cancer the news will go around easily. They need to come out of the phase Ia with results hinting highly at a proof of concept, and then confirm that in phase Ib.
Comment by SPCEO1 on Mar 29, 2022 2:30pm
jfm - When you do something at work, do you just focus on the main goal or do you also try to optimize the situation by getting other aspects of the work sorted out to obtain the best possible overall result. Of course, the main issue is the cancer phase 1a results right now, and there would be no point in doing a reverse split if they are not good, but if they are, there are any number of other ...more

If they can just deliver something materially good.. a deal in Nash with more 500$ upfront and POC or a good hint that something actually works with th1902... and that the stocks react accordingly I don't see how a reverse split will be required afetre the fact.  I mean we saw what the rat results did back in the summer of 2020... we won't need to resort to that.  These socalled ...more

I am for whatever gets the share price into the double digits - great results, reverse split or both. Personally, I do not think any results they will produce in phase 1a will result in a double digit stock price so a reverse split would be needed to get us there.
Comment by jfm1330 on Mar 29, 2022 3:31pm
I am sure they do other things. I am sure they have talks with potential partners, financial firms, investors, potential investors, cancer experts, and so on. That being said, at this point they don't have much to discuss. They can only discuss hypothetical scenarios since they cannot disclose what they have right now in phase Ia. I think preliminary contacts have been made with all the ...more

I am confident realize that equity investing is all about hopes for an as yet undefined future. You often sound more like a bond investor who is solely focused on getting his next coupon paid and therefore often does not look very far at all into the future and is typcially more consumed witht he recent past. So, there is a narrative TH and every other company creates about their future and I ...more

The fact is that Levesque not so far ago was very affirmative about Thera going alone in a large phase III trial in NASH. Reality catched up to him and he had to start this partner search in order to gradually take his words back, and now it's no longer a phase III but they will ask FDA for a phase IIb/III. That's backpedaling on a big scale for such a small company.  So it's ...more  
Comment by SPCEO1 on Mar 29, 2022 5:57pm
There is much more to optimizing the situation than just creating a good narrative around NASH and the problems investors like myself face in holding or buying TH are real and should be addressed as best possible by a competent management team. My suggestion would be for paul to talk more and deliver more. Long periods of silence have not been helpful in the past as people inevitably assume the ...more  
Comment by jfm1330 on Mar 29, 2022 7:58pm
Again. It is hard to talk a lot when you cannot disclose stuff or simply does not have anything new to say. Waiting for results is part of investing in small biopharmas like Thera. Also, imagine an investor that bought when Levesque was very upbeat about NASH. I am not sure he is very happy now.
Comment by houbahop on Mar 29, 2022 8:05pm
...."Optimize the situation, show you are engaged with investors and are seeking to address their issues, demonstrate how you are managing the company to achieve long term value, start making all those small decisions correctly and watch the benefits add up - simply put, make investors confident about your leadership. I am pretty sure Paul is capable of all that and I am not sure why we are ...more

LOL now your on to Reverse slipts, well I have to give it to you, I never thought of it as all else was already used up by you.  Im curious as to what youre gonna come up with when this garbage is at .15 cents after everything has failed(almost everything already has)
Comment by SPCEO1 on Mar 30, 2022 5:18pm
Classic non-response from PinnacleX. Just throw out some nasty attitude and make some wildly bearish assumptions rather than actually debate the topic and the data presented. That really does not cut it here.
