PMGC Holdings Inc (ELAB) shares rose by 5.34%, crossing above the 5-day SMA, amid a generally positive market environment with the Nasdaq-100 up 0.32% and the S&P 500 up 0.06%.
The increase in share price follows the company's announcement of a 1-for-4 reverse stock split, effective January 6, 2026, aimed at reducing the number of outstanding shares to approximately 503,713. This strategic move is intended to enhance the per-share price and attract more investor interest, although the overall value of shareholder equity remains unchanged. The market's positive reception of this decision reflects a potential shift in investor sentiment towards PMGC Holdings.
This reverse stock split is expected to improve PMGC's market perception and could lead to increased institutional investor interest, potentially boosting the company's overall market capitalization. Investors are advised to monitor future financial reports and market developments closely.
