Analysis · GOSS · Life Sciences
Gossamer Bio's board selected a 1-for-80 reverse stock split, effective September 10, 2026, with trading on a split-adjusted basis beginning September 11. The move is designed to lift the stock price above Nasdaq's $1.00 minimum bid requirement — a critical step given the company's going-concern warning and delisting risk disclosed in its Q2 10-Q. The split also reduces authorized common shares from 4 billion to 50 million, proportionally adjusting convertible notes, warrants, and equity awards. While the split itself does not change ownership percentages, it is a survival mechanism for a company with cash runway only into Q1 2027.
