AREB is doing an interesting Reverse split on Monday Feb 2nd, 2026 with the opportunity for some reverse split arbritrage.
1 for 20 RS on Feb 2. They are offering protection for round lot holders (anyone who owns at least 100 shares). If you are a round lot holder before the RS, then you will maintain a minimum of 100 shares after the split. This means if you own 101 shares you will get 5 shares + 95 after the split.
There is a catch. It will take about 10 trading days for everything to settle and have the shares show up in your account. They did this in March and also in October and myself/several people who went through it can cofirm that this works.
This is how it *should* play out:
1. Buy 100 shares before January 30 to be on record for the RS
2. Monday Feb 2nd, you get reduced to 5 shares after the RS
3. A week or typically 10 days later they will issue you 95 shares to bring you back to 100.
You should be in decent position as long as the stock stays above your purchase price by the time you get your shares. Worth a small bet and Ill be buying 101 shares in a few different accounts for some fun!
