Ah yes, the old “consolidation doesn’t destroy companies, bad fundamentals do” line. You’re not wrong — but let’s not act like a 20:1 reverse split magically fixes broken timelines, fading momentum, or investor fatigue.
Sure, a tighter SOI might clean up the optics and attract a few new eyes… if the underlying science delivers. But without clear trial results or commercial traction, it’s just a cosmetic fix.
This isn’t restructuring — it’s rearranging deck chairs on the Titanic while the band plays Don’t Stop Believin.
NEU bounced post-consolidation because they had progress. The split wasn’t the story — the data was.
Meanwhile, over here in IMU-land, we’ve been patiently refreshing CommSec or which ever trading platform while navigating the emotional rollercoaster that comes with holding a biotech stock that consolidates your shares and your hope at the same time.
Which is why most of us should probably ask our doctor to prescribe IMUphoria™
IMUphoria™
For long-term holders of biotech dreams.
May cause:
Sudden dilution
Timeline fatigue
Repeated use of the phrase “Trust the Science™”
Irrational optimism during red days
Obsessive webinar attendance
In my case — holding 1,000,000 shares that became 50,000 overnight after the 20:1 consolidation.
Ask your broker if IMUphoria is right for you.
If symptoms persist, please consult NEU’s chart for hope.
