China Natural Resources Soars 44.64% on Reverse Stock Split

On June 11, 2025, China Natural Resources surged 44.64% in pre-market trading, marking a significant rise in its stock price.

China Natural Resources has announced an 8:1 reverse stock split, effective June 13, 2025. This corporate action, also known as a "share combination," consolidates eight shares into one, aiming to increase the stock's price and potentially attract more institutional investors.
