Over the last month, HUBC has focused on governance, financing, and operational milestones. A new CFO was appointed on Jan 12, 2026, following a NIS 16M Israeli government contract on Dec 29, 2025. On Dec 22, 2025, shareholders approved a framework including a potential reverse split and increased authorized capital, and insiders disclosed open-market share purchases on Dec 18, 2025. First-half 2025 results highlighted $15.1M revenue and margin improvement. Today’s reverse split announcement operationalizes the previously signaled capital framework.
Market Pulse Summary
The stock is up +7.9% following this news. A strong positive reaction aligns with HUBC’s history of sharp moves around capital-structure news, but prior reverse-split communication on Mar 27, 2025 was followed by a -18.04% move. The current 1-for-15 split comes while shares trade far below the 200-day MA of 2.05, highlighting underlying weakness despite short-term strength. Investors have previously sold into fundamental updates, so sustainability depended on future execution and liquidity developments.

TEL-AVIV, Israel, Jan. 14, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Hub Cyber Security Ltd. (Nasdaq: HUBC) (“HUB Security” or the “Company”), a global provider of confidential computing and secured data fabric technologies, today announced a 1-for-15 reverse share split of its ordinary shares, no par value per share (the “Ordinary Shares”). The reverse share split and corresponding share capital adjustment will become effective at 11:59 p.m. Eastern Time on Thursday, January 15, 2026. The Ordinary Shares will begin trading on a split-adjusted basis on The Nasdaq Stock Market LLC (“Nasdaq”) at the open of business on Friday, January 16, 2026, under the existing trading symbol “HUBC,” however the Ordinary Shares will trade under a new CUSIP number, M6000J200. HUB Security’s outstanding warrants will continue to be traded under the symbols “HUBCW” and “HUBCZ” and the CUSIP numbers for such warrants will remain unchanged.
As a result of the reverse share split, every 15 issued and outstanding Ordinary Shares will automatically be converted into one Ordinary Share. No fractional shares will be issued as a result of the reverse share split. Instead, all fractional shares will be rounded down to the nearest whole share. The reverse share split affects all shareholders uniformly and will not alter any shareholder’s percentage ownership interest in the Company’s issued and outstanding Ordinary Shares, except for such minor adjustments that may result from the treatment of fractional shares.
The reverse share split will also affect the Company’s derivative securities, including outstanding notes, options, warrants and restricted share units (collectively, the “Outstanding Equity Rights”). Generally, the plans and other documents pertaining to the Outstanding Equity Rights include provisions providing for adjustments in the event of a reverse share split in order to maintain the same economic effect. Specifically, the exercise price and the number of Ordinary Shares issuable pursuant to Outstanding Equity Rights will be adjusted pursuant to the terms of such instruments in connection with the reverse share split.
The Company believes the reverse share split will increase the per share trading price of the Ordinary Shares and enable the Company to maintain compliance with the minimum bid price requirement in Nasdaq Listing Rule 5450(a)(1).
Additional information regarding the reverse share split can be found in the Company’s proxy statement furnished to the Securities and Exchange Commission on December 16, 2025.
