Upcoming Stock Splits Highlight Corporate Strategies Amid Market Adjustments
Corporate maneuvers in the equity markets take center stage this week as companies execute stock splits to enhance accessibility or consolidate shares for compliance.

Neither action alters market capitalization, but both telegraph nuanced messages to investors. The Nasdaq's minimum bid rule frequently forces struggling companies into reverse splits, creating arbitrage opportunities for discerning traders.
