reshaping is beat-agnostic clickbait for "doing some interesting stuff". plug "reshaping" into a google news search

To me it’s like when they say xy stock plummets (by 5%)

Heh, I'd be fine with that. Usually it's "XY plummets because of ... (XY: -1%)". From my non-statistically informed observations, 1% is basically the noise floor, so saying "because" is misleading at best. At least 5% is pretty rare.
