CHPT--
Prior to the reverse stock split, shares were trading around $0.60 to $0.70 per share in July [1]. The reverse stock split consolidates 20 shares into one, effectively increasing the share price. This action is a common strategy employed by companies facing potential delisting due to low stock prices [1].
The reverse stock split was approved by shareholders at ChargePoint's 2025 Annual Meeting, where a ratio range of 1-for-2 to 1-for-30 was authorized [2]. The final ratio of 1-for-20 was determined by the Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee [2][3]. The stock will continue to trade under the ticker symbol "CHPT," but with a new CUSIP number (15961R 303) and ISIN (US15961R3030) [2][3].
Investors have reacted negatively to the move, with shares closing at $9.91 on July 28, down 18.85% from the previous day's close [2]. The stock experienced further volatility, rising 0.40% in after-hours trading to $9.95 [2]. The reverse stock split does not change the overall value of the company; it only consolidates shares into fewer, higher-priced units [1].
ChargePoint's financial performance has been challenging, with the company reporting a net loss of $282.9 million in the fiscal year ending in January and a 9% decrease in revenue during the first quarter of 2026 compared to the previous year [1]. These financial struggles have likely contributed to investor wariness and the stock's recent decline.
