re·verse split definition
noun
a reduction in the number of a company's traded shares that results in an increase in the par value or earnings per share.

If a reverse split does occur, the amount of shares decreases in proportion to the adjusted price of the PPS. The market cap would be unchanged until traders react. Yes ,an RS usually causes the PPS to drop, especially in the case of dilution machines like DRYS, but if an RS is offset by news or increased investor sentiment, an RS does not AUTOMATICALLY guarantee a future drop in share price/market cap. If an RS does happen, it is likely that investors will over-react and that presents an opportunity to buy cheapies near the new bottom. However, if the number of AS increases as a result of a board meeting decision, that would be much more harmful than a RS, because that would effect the market value immediately to the downside.
