Previous Stock split Reports
| Date | Event | Sentiment | Move | Catalyst |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Oct 23 | Reverse stock split | Negative | -50.6% | 1-for-50 reverse split cut outstanding shares sharply. |

Prior reverse split announcements for YYAI were followed by sharply negative moves, indicating a pattern of weak market reception to share consolidations.
Over the past two years, AiRWA repeatedly used reverse stock splits to manage its share structure. A 1-for-20 split in June 2024 and a 1-for-50 split in October 2025 both led to double‑digit percentage declines within 24 hours. Outside of splits, a $15.69M registered direct equity raise in December 2025 produced a modestly positive reaction. Today’s 1-for-40 split continues this pattern of frequent restructuring of the common share count.
Historical Comparison
Across 3 prior stock split announcements, YYAI saw an average -30.25% move, underscoring historically weak reception to reverse split news.
YYAI has repeatedly implemented reverse splits (1-for-20, 1-for-50, now 1-for-40), steadily consolidating its share count to restructure the capital base.
Market Pulse Summary
The stock dropped -38.6% in the session following this news. A negative reaction despite the mechanical nature of a 1-for-40 split fits prior patterns, where three earlier stock split announcements averaged a -30.25% move. The stock had already traded far below its $39.11 200‑day MA and 99.74% under its 52‑week high, so further weakness would have reflected longstanding pressure. Repeated reverse splits and prior equity financings may have amplified concerns about the capital structure.

Smyrna, Delaware, May 14, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- AiRWA Inc. (Nasdaq: YYAI) (the “Company”) announces that, as previously approved by the stockholders of the Company, it will implement a 1-for-40 reverse stock split of its outstanding shares of common stock (the “Reverse Split”), effective at the opening of trading on May 18, 2026.
On April 17, 2026, in the 2026 annual meeting of stockholders, the stockholders approved one or more reverse stock splits of our common stock over the course of the next two years at a ratio within a range of 1-for-40 to 1-for-800, with the specific ratio and date of any such reverse stock split to be determined by the Board of Directors. The Company’s Board of Directors approved the reverse stock split at the ratio of 1-for-40.
Following the Reverse Split, every 40 shares of issued and outstanding common stock will automatically be combined and converted into one share. This consolidation will reduce the number of shares of the Company’s outstanding common stock from approximately 42,142,432 to approximately 1,053,561. No fractional shares will be issued. Instead, stockholders will receive a rounded up whole share in place of any fractional share that would have been created by the Reverse Split. ClearTrust, LLC will act as the exchange agent for the Reverse Split and will provide stockholders with a transaction statement that reflects their post-split shareholdings. The number of authorized shares of common stock and the par value per share will remain unchanged. The Company’s common stock will continue trading under the same Nasdaq ticker symbol (YYAI), with a new CUSIP number, 831445606.
The reverse stock split will not affect the number of authorized shares of Common Stock or the par value of the Common Stock. The reverse stock split will not modify any rights or preferences of the shares of the Company’s Common Stock. Proportionate adjustments will be made to the exercise prices and the number of shares underlying the Company’s outstanding equity awards, as applicable, and warrants, as well as to the number of shares issued and issuable under the Company’s equity incentive plans. The Common Stock issued pursuant to the reverse stock split will remain fully paid and non-assessable.
