I have an explanation, which seems to hold fairly well across a number of situations. In the case of a stock split that involves a company that is currently losing money, the effect is actually to reduce the per-share loss, making the stock worth more. . . Since the per-share loss was cut in half, the stock should be expected to double--hence the run from around 40 should stall out around 80, purely based on the fundamentals of the situation. . .
