What is consolidation of shares?

Remember collecting marbles as a kid? Imagine finding a box overflowing with dusty, chipped ones. You meticulously combine them, crafting fewer, dazzling marbles. Suddenly, your collection feels more valuable, more worthy of admiration. That's the essence of a reverse stock split. A company gathers its scattered shares, merges them into fewer, pricier ones, and hopes to spark investor interest. This transformation, of course, is transparent, with shareholders informed every step of the way.
