A company that issues a normal split may do so to increase liquidity or to make a stock more appealing for investors who want a lower stock price. A reverse stock split is the opposite of a forward stock split. A company carrying out a reverse stock split decreases the number of its outstanding shares and increases the share price proportionately. A company that issues a reverse split may do so because its share price has gotten too low, or to make its stock more appealing to investors.
