The most obvious answer is expectation that it will be included in an index. The NYSE has a smaller company base, it is like moving to a smaller pond when a big fish. You will by consensus get into the indices eventually, because it seems weird you are not already in the indices. Then fund companies will buy your stock because they invest in index funds (companies that make up the index). So, minor artificial share value bump. However, if you hold a million shares, very significant to you.
