Uh Oh! BigBear.ai's Stock Dropped Below $3. Does That Mean a Reverse Split Is Imminent?
BigBear.ai (NYSE: BBAI) shares fell 11.8% after a brief post-earnings rally, dropping below $3. Q2 revenue rose 13% YoY to $36.7M, and net losses narrowed to $25.7M, but cash burn was $68.6M. The NYSE listing threshold is $1, so a reverse split is unlikely unless shares fall below $2.
