Reverse stock splits are commonly used to raise a company's per-share price by decreasing the number of shares outstanding. Such actions are often taken with objectives like preserving compliance with exchange listing standards or making the stock more accessible to institutional buyers that may impose minimum-price thresholds for investments.
For investors and market participants, the key facts are straightforward: the split ratio is five-for-one, the effective moment is 12:01 a.m. ET on January 30, 2026, the ticker symbol will remain "IBG" on The Nasdaq Capital Market, and the post-split outstanding share total will be 694,066 with CUSIP Q4933C208.
