CDT Equity Announces 1-for-25 Reverse Split to Regain Nasdaq Compliance
CDT is trading near its 52-week low of $0.12 (2.2% above the low) on elevated volume (3.3× avg).
Summary
CDT Equity is executing a 1-for-25 reverse stock split, effective Sept. 28, with shares to begin trading on a split-adjusted basis on Sept. 29. The move is aimed at lifting the share price above Nasdaq's minimum bid requirement, but it underscores the company's ongoing distress. With a market cap near $2.3 million and shares trading at $0.1225, the split will reduce the float to roughly 25,000 shares, making the stock even more illiquid. This follows a series of red flags: a second auditor change, a going concern warning, and a $2.1 million convertible note issued just last week. The reverse split is a survival tactic, not a sign of strength.
