Elite Pharmaceuticals Inc (ELTP)

[NASDAQ2020]

Reverse splits to up list are a sign of good things for companies like Elite on the way up, but a sign of bad things for companies on the way down.
In order to meet the minimum share price requirements for NASDAQ, many companies will conduct a reverse split. This is perfectly acceptable to the exchange, and the post-splitshare price will be evaluated accordingly.
Using a reverse split to raise the share price and obtain an uplisting is a very positive sign for a company and is much different than companies that use a reverse split to prevent being delisted or to raise money. Once again, the confusion relates to delisting as opposed to uplisting.

Novice investors who don't focus on uplistings only encounter reverse splits in the context of companies that are trying to stave off a delisting, so in many people's eyes a reverse split is a sign of a troubled company.
Saavy investors know better.
