Previous Stock split Reports
| Date | Event | Sentiment | Move | Catalyst |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Jun 18 | Reverse stock split | Negative | -22.6% | Announced 1-for-50 reverse split, sharply reducing outstanding shares and float. |
The prior reverse split on Jun 18, 2025 saw a -22.59% 24-hour move, indicating historically negative reactions to similar capital-structure actions.
This announcement marks TruGolf’s second reverse stock split in less than a year, following a 1-for-50 reverse split effective Jun 23, 2025 that reduced outstanding shares from 40.5 million to about 0.8 million and led to a -22.59% 24-hour reaction. Both events maintained the TRUG symbol, introduced new CUSIPs, and treated fractional shares with cash in lieu. Today’s 1-for-10 split similarly consolidates the share count and continues that pattern of structural share adjustments.
Historical Comparison
In the past 12 months, TruGolf had one reverse split announcement tagged as stock split, with a -22.59% next-day move. Today’s new 1-for-10 reverse split repeats a similar capital-structure tightening pattern.
TruGolf previously executed a 1-for-50 reverse split in 2025 and now announces a 1-for-10 reverse split, each consolidating Class A shares while keeping par value unchanged and handling fractional shares with cash in lieu.
Regulatory & Risk Context
TruGolf has an effective S-3 shelf filed on 2025-11-17 allowing up to $200,000,000 of securities issuance, with no reported usage to date. This provides substantial capacity for future equity, debt, or hybrid offerings, subject to the one‑third public float cap described in the filing.
Market Pulse Summary
The stock dropped -36.3% in the session following this news. A negative reaction despite the mechanical nature of a reverse split fits TruGolf’s history, where the prior reverse split on Jun 18, 2025 led to a -22.59% move. With shares already at $0.5801 versus a $2.85 200-day MA, sentiment was weak before this announcement. The existence of an unused $200,000,000 shelf may also keep investors focused on potential future capital raises, adding to downside pressure.

Salt Lake City, Utah, March 25, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- TruGolf Holdings, Inc. (NASDAQ: TRUG), today announced a 1-for-10 reverse split of its Class A common stock. Beginning on March 27, 2026, the Company’s Class A common stock will continue to trade on The Nasdaq Capital Market on a split adjusted basis under the trading symbol “TRUG” but will trade under the following new CUSIP number: 243733508.
As a result of the reverse stock split, every 10 shares of Class A common stock issued and outstanding as of the effective date will be automatically combined into one share of Class A common stock. No fractional shares will be issued if, as a result of the reverse stock split, a stockholder would otherwise become entitled to a fractional share because the number of shares of Class A common stock they hold before the reverse stock split is not evenly divisible by the split ratio. Instead, each stockholder will be entitled to receive a cash payment in lieu of a fractional share.
The reverse stock split will reduce the number of shares of outstanding Class A common stock from approximately 5,355,626 shares, the number of shares outstanding as of the date hereof, to approximately 535,563 shares. The par value of the Class A common stock will remain unchanged and the number of authorized shares of Class A common stock will be proportionately reduced to 100 million shares. The reverse split affects all stockholders uniformly and will not alter any common stockholder’s percentage interest in the Company’s equity, except to the extent that the reverse split results in some common stockholders owning a fractional share as described above.
