This week, between October 7 and October 11, several companies will be executing stock splits—a corporate maneuver that can greatly impact investors and market dynamics. A stock split involves a company increasing its number of outstanding shares by issuing additional shares, leading to a decrease in the stock’s trading price while maintaining the market capitalization. Conversely, reverse stock splits consolidate the number of shares, raising the price per share while keeping the market value intact.
Understanding the implications of stock splits is crucial for any investor, as they often enhance liquidity and make shares more accessible to retail investors. Here’s a closer look at some notable stock splits scheduled for this week.

Reneo Pharmaceuticals (RPHM), which specializes in cutting-edge cancer treatments, completed its merger with OnKure Therapeutics and will execute a one-for-ten reverse stock split, with trading under the new ticker symbol “OKUR” starting October 7.
