Upcoming Stock Splits This Week (June 23 to June 27)

These are the upcoming stock splits for the week of June 23 to June 27, based on TipRanks' Stock Splits Calendar. A stock split takes place when a company increases its number of outstanding shares by issuing more to existing shareholders, effectively reducing the price per share without altering the firm's overall market capitalization. While the underlying value remains the same, the lower share price makes the stock more accessible to everyday investors and may help boost market interest. Confident Investing Starts Here: Meanwhile, a reverse stock split does the opposite, shrinking the share count by consolidating existing shares into fewer units. This pushes the stock price higher while keeping the total valuation the same. It's a common move for companies trying to meet exchange listing requirements, especially if their share price is flirting with minimum thresholds like those set by the Nasdaq. Whether it's about attracting more investors or holding onto a listing, these corporate actions can offer valuable clues about a company's strategy and where it sees itself heading next. Let's take a look at the upcoming stock splits for the week. Pegasystems (PEGA) – Pegasystems is a leading provider of enterprise AI-powered decisioning and workflow automation software.

Maase (MAAS) – China-based Maase, a digital platform company, is switching from trading American Depositary Shares (ADSs) to listing its regular shares directly on the Nasdaq. To prepare for this transition, the company announced a 1-for-90 reverse stock split on June 18, meaning every 90 ADSs will be converted into one regular share. The split takes effect when the market opens on June 23, 2025. Super League Enterprise (SLE) – Super League builds immersive experiences across gaming and metaverse platforms.
