AI Evaluation Notes

Sufficient time has passed since the prediction date for small-cap stocks to have undergone reverse splits and for their prices to have faded towards $1. While there isn't universal explicit evidence of companies issuing a 'pump' press release specifically when a stock fades toward $1 after an initial reverse split, several market dynamics support the spirit of the prediction. Small-cap companies frequently execute reverse splits to avoid delisting when their stock price drops below $1, and many of these stocks subsequently fall back below this threshold. Companies do issue press releases announcing reverse splits with the stated aim of increasing share price and maintaining exchange compliance. The concept of 'pumping' after a reverse split is acknowledged, particularly for stocks with a tiny float. It is a plausible strategy for struggling companies to use positive news PRs to try and boost their stock price when facing delisting concerns again. However, the explicit and guaranteed nature implied by 'pretty sure that they're going to PR it' as a distinct secondary pump after a fade is not broadly documented as a consistent, explicit corporate strategy.
