Penny stocks, also known as micro-cap stocks, are low-priced stocks that are often traded in the over-the-counter (OTC) market. These stocks are typically priced at less than $5 per share. When a penny stock announces a reverse split, it means that the company is planning to consolidate its existing shares into fewer, higher-priced shares.1 This can lead to an increase in the stock's price per share, which may make it more attractive to institutional investors and improve its overall marketability.2
