BuzzFeed (NASDAQ: BZFD ) stock is a hot topic on Tuesday as the media company is seeking approval for a reverse stock split at its next shareholder meeting. That shareholder meeting is set for April 25 and will have investors voting on several matters.

BZFD Stock: BuzzFeed Is Prepping for a Reverse Stock Split

BuzzFeed sold its Complex business for $114 million or 2X revenue, in late February 2024. This transforms the balance sheet. The market is irrationally fearful of BZFD's $120 million 8.5% 12/3/2026 convertible, which has a 12/3/24 lender put option. Selling complex means everyone can row in the same direction, coupled with $23 million of FY 2024 cost savings, and this stock is (super mis-priced), at its current valuation.
