SolarMax Approves 1-for-12 Reverse Split, Slashes Authorized Shares to 24.8M
SMXT sits 26% above its 52-week low of $0.293 on light trading volume (0.2× avg).
Summary
SolarMax Technology approved a 1-for-12 reverse stock split on July 26, aiming to lift its share price above Nasdaq's $1 minimum bid requirement. The company also reduced authorized shares to 24.8 million, a move that limits future dilution potential. This follows a second Nasdaq delisting notice in June for failing to meet the $35 million market value threshold, adding to the going concern warning from May. The reverse split is a direct response to compliance pressures, but it does not address underlying financial distress. The effective date and any further Nasdaq decisions remain to be seen.
At the time of this announcement, SMXT was trading at $0.37 on NASDAQ in the Energy & Transportation sector, with a market capitalization of approximately $19.1M.
