Vision Marine Technologies Inc. saw a significant price drop of 22.80% as it crossed below its 5-day SMA.
The company's board approved a 1-for-40 reverse stock split to reduce outstanding shares from approximately 37 million to about 925,000, aimed at increasing the per-share market price to comply with Nasdaq's minimum $1 requirement. This split is set to take effect on January 14, 2026, ensuring that shares continue trading on a split-adjusted basis while protecting shareholders' rights.
This reverse stock split is a strategic move to enhance compliance with Nasdaq regulations, but the immediate market reaction has been negative, reflecting investor concerns about the company's current valuation and future prospects.
