How This Trade Works

Here's a step-by-step breakdown of how the BDRX reverse split arbitrage works using Biodexa Pharmaceuticals's actual numbers.

1

Buy 19 shares of BDRX

Purchase 19 shares at $0.40 each. Total cost: $7.60. You need exactly 19 shares because the split ratio is 1:20.

2

The 1:20 reverse split executes

Your 19 shares are consolidated at the 1:20 ratio. Since 19 ÷ 20 = 0.9500, you end up with a fractional share of 0.9500 post-split shares.

3

Fractional share rounds up to 1 full share

Because Biodexa Pharmaceuticals rounds up fractional shares, your 0.9500 shares become 1 full share worth $8.00.

4

Sell for profit

Sell your 1 post-split share at $8.00. You paid $7.60 and received $8.00.

Risk Factors

Penny Stock Volatility

BDRX trades at $0.40 per share, classifying it as a penny stock. Penny stocks are subject to extreme price swings, low institutional coverage, and higher spreads. The share price could drop significantly between your purchase and the split execution date.

Liquidity Risk

At $0.40 per share, BDRX may have limited trading volume and wide bid-ask spreads. This can make it difficult to enter or exit your position at your desired price, potentially reducing your actual profit.
