Elong Power Holding Limited (Nasdaq: ELPW) announced a 1‑for‑80 reverse share split that will take effect at the market open on March 12, 2026. The consolidation will reduce the number of outstanding shares from roughly 63 million to about 0.79 million, preserving the company’s market capitalization while raising the per‑share price above Nasdaq’s minimum bid‑price requirement of $0.10.
The reverse split comes amid a period of severe financial distress. Fiscal year 2024 revenue fell 87.8% to $386,940, and the company posted a loss of $30.11 million, a 304.4% increase in losses from 2023. Revenue has been declining at an average of 83.2% per year, and the net margin is negative, reflecting deep profitability challenges. Liquidity is constrained, with a current ratio of 0.46 and an Altman Z‑Score of –7.73, placing the firm in the distress zone.
Elong Power has already undertaken a prior reverse split—a 16‑for‑1 consolidation effective December 26, 2025—to address Nasdaq listing requirements. Nasdaq’s recent rule change, effective January 19, 2026, allows accelerated delisting if a security’s bid price falls to $0.10 or below for ten consecutive trading days. The March 12 split is therefore a compliance measure designed to keep the stock above the new threshold and avoid a potential delisting action.
Investor sentiment has turned negative following the announcement, reflecting concerns that the reverse split signals ongoing financial weakness rather than a strategic turnaround. The move underscores the company’s need to address its declining revenue, negative margins, and liquidity constraints to regain investor confidence.
The reverse split is a procedural step to maintain Nasdaq compliance; it does not represent a new product launch, acquisition, or strategic pivot. While it preserves the company’s listing status, the underlying financial challenges remain, suggesting that further operational and financial restructuring will be necessary to restore long‑term viability.
