Analysis · AMTD · Finance
To regain compliance with the NYSE's $1.00 minimum bid requirement, AMTD IDEA Group is adjusting its ADS ratio from 1 ADS representing 6 Class A ordinary shares to 1 ADS representing 360 Class A ordinary shares, effective on or about October 19, 2026. This move is equivalent to a one-for-60 reverse ADS split and follows a non-compliance notice received on July 8, 2026. The company also disclosed that as of October 7, 2026, it has repurchased 4,417,036 ADSs under existing repurchase programs. While the ratio change does not alter the underlying ordinary shares or the company's business, it represents a material step to avoid delisting.
