Swissquote Group Holding SA has confirmed a 1:10 share split that will take effect at the end of May 2026. The move will increase the total number of outstanding shares while reducing the price of each individual share, making the company’s stock more accessible to retail investors.

A share split is a corporate action where a company increases the number of its shares while proportionally lowering the value of each share. In Swissquote’s case, every shareholder will receive nine additional shares for each share currently held. As a result, the total number of Swissquote shares will rise from 15,328,170 to 153,281,700.

Swissquote Share Split to Reduce Stock Price for Retail Traders

Following the split, the share price is expected to trade at around one-tenth of its previous value. Swissquote shares are currently priced at CHF 393.60, which has made larger purchases expensive for smaller investors. Although the stock has declined by around 13% over the past year, its market price has remained relatively high compared to many retail-focused trading stocks.

The company stated that the share split is intended to improve affordability and trading accessibility. Lower-priced shares can make it easier for retail traders to purchase larger quantities of stock without committing substantial capital.

Swissquote outlined the timeline for the corporate action. On 26 May 2026, the share split will be registered with the Commercial Registry. At the same time, the par value of each share will be reduced from CHF 0.20 to CHF 0.02.

Trading of the split-adjusted shares on the SIX Swiss Exchange will begin on 28 May 2026 under a new Swiss security number, 154823524, and a new ISIN, CH1548235246. The opening trading price will be based on the previous session’s closing price divided by 10.

Swissquote also noted that custodians will handle the adjustment process for client accounts starting 28 May 2026. Shareholders seeking additional details about how the split affects their holdings have been advised to contact their respective custodians.
