Upcoming Stock Splits This Week (August 19 to August 23) – Stay Invested

In this article:

These are the upcoming stock splits for the week of August 19 to August 23, based on TipRanks’ Stock Splits Calendar. A stock split is a corporate action in which the company issues additional common shares to increase the number of outstanding shares. Accordingly, the stock price of the company’s shares decreases, which maintains the market capitalization before and after the split. In contrast, there are also reverse stock splits that reduce the number of outstanding shares (consolidate). In this case, too, the market cap is maintained as the share price increases following the reverse stock split.

Companies often undertake stock splits to improve the liquidity of the common shares and make them more affordable for retail investors. Let’s look quickly at the upcoming stock splits for the week.

Surf Air Mobility (SRFM) – Surf Air Mobility is a regional electric aviation, software, and air travel company. It operates short-haul scheduled flights and has flown millions of passengers across the U.S. On August 8, the company’s board approved a one-for-seven reverse stock split, effective August 19. Through this stock split, the company aims to comply with the NYSE’s minimum bid price requirement for continued listing.

Better Home Finance Holding Company (BETR) – Better Home operates a financial digital platform that offers residential mortgage, insurance, and real estate services in the U.S. and the UK.

The reverse stock split became effective on August 16, after the market closed. Shares will start trading on a split-adjusted basis on August 19.

The reverse stock split is also reportedly undertaken as one of the steps toward the spin-off.
