$Leslie's, Inc.(LESL)$ $Cemtrex(CETX)$ $Erayak Power Solution Group Inc.(RAYA)$ 🔥📉🔄 Reverse Splits Take Centre Stage This Week 🔄📉🔥
💡 The landscape between 29Sep25 and 03Oct25 is dominated by reverse splits, a move most companies reserve as a last line of defence. Let’s unpack the lineup and what it really signals beneath the surface.
📊 This Week’s Confirmed Splits
• Leslie’s $LESL: 1-for-20 reverse split effective 29Sep25
• Cemtrex $CETX: 1-for-15 reverse split effective 29Sep25
• Lunai Bioworks $LUNAI: 10-for-1 reverse split effective 30Sep25
• Erayak Power $RAYA: 220-for-1 reverse split effective 30Sep25
• Predictive Oncology $POAI: 1-for-15 reverse split effective 30Sep25
• American Rebel $AREB: 1-for-20 reverse split effective 03Oct25
⚖️ Why It Matters
Reverse splits are often about optics and compliance rather than fundamentals. Nasdaq’s listing standards require stocks to trade above $1; these companies are effectively “consolidating their shares” to avoid delisting. While this can temporarily create the appearance of strength, liquidity often contracts, and without operational improvement the price can slide back under thresholds.
📉 Historical Context
On average, reverse split stocks underperform the broader market over the next 12 months unless paired with a genuine turnaround. Leslie’s $LESL is a good case study: once a household brand in pool supplies, it’s now fighting to maintain listing relevance. RAYA’s 220-for-1 is extreme by any measure, a reminder of how distressed small-caps can get before they reset the tape.
🔍 What to Watch
• Liquidity and order books: Spreads tend to widen after a reverse split. Traders who thrive on volatility will be watching.
• Short interest: Sometimes shorts cover into the split event, but often they reload once the new float stabilises.
• Options pricing: IV can spike around reverse split events as market makers adjust contracts.
• Sentiment drift: Social media chatter tends to flare up around splits but quickly fades unless news catalysts follow.
⚔️ The Bigger Picture
This flurry of splits is a defensive manoeuvre across micro and small-cap land. With higher interest rates, tightening capital markets, and Nasdaq’s stricter enforcement, we’re likely to see more companies resort to this tactic. The question is whether any can use the reset to rebuild credibility, or whether these names join the long list of reverse-split casualties.
👉❓Which of these reverse split tickers do you think can translate this compliance move into a genuine turnaround, and which are simply buying time before fading into irrelevance?

- Kiwi Tigress·09-29TOPThe way you broke this down makes it clear these splits aren’t magic bullets, they’re just survival plays. Seeing $RAYA at 220 for 1 actually blew my mind because that’s desperation, not confidence. I’m locked into how compliance resets reshape momentum and test retail conviction3Report
- Tui Jude·09-29TOP📊The liquidity angle you raised is spot on. Once $POAI goes 1 for 15 it’ll be interesting to watch how spreads move. I’ve seen the same in $AMC post split where volume thinned and the book felt heavier to push through on either side. That’s where traders get tested.4Report
- Cool Cat Winston·09-29TOP📘I’ve always seen reverse splits as a short term fix rather than a path to real value. Your point on Leslie’s $LESL hits hard since it shows how even household names can struggle. It makes me think of $GME after its compliance battle and how different the outcomes can be.6Report
- Mortimer Arthur·09-29TOPGentlemen, we need to move this Leslie stock up to at least $1, so by time when they do 20 for 1 reverse split, we will end up with $20 BUCKS per share OK ! and then a very massive shorts squeeze scenario might follow too.1Report
- Hen Solo·09-29TOP🔬That 220 for 1 on $RAYA is staggering and really underlines distress more than strength. I appreciate the reminder that Nasdaq’s tighter rules mean one slip and you’re out. Makes me compare it with $NVAX after its reverse split scramble to hold ground.4Report
- Valerie Archibald·09-29TOPThis CEO deserves to buy his CETX,in the worst way possible,by covering his short position,trades flat because his offering partner dumps on green candles,20% short and low float1Report
- Queengirlypops·09-29TOPThis post really got me thinking because a 1 for 20 like $AREB feels like pure optics while $LESL trying to climb back above the threshold shows how fragile brands can be. I’m vibing with your liquidity callouts too, because tighter books always flip the game right after the split2Report
