however, a lower priced stock on a per-share basis can attract a wider range of buyers. If that increased demand causes the share price to appreciate, then the total market capitalization rises post-split. This does not always happen, however, often depending on the underlying fundamentals of the business.

well we have your team. These imbeciles were looking at ground breaking rev's from Avid last Q, they could have sat with $45 MM cash on hand and let the SP run with the financial results they knew were coming. No they sold heavy ATM at .30 when they could have waiting a few weeks and gotten the same proceeds for half the shares. The unwise dilution killed any rally there's would have brought us. Killing a rally to the upside is the only share price related proficiency they have ever demonstrated.
