JFB Construction Holdings will effect a 2-for-1 stock split effective March 24, 2026 for shareholders of record on March 23, doubling outstanding shares from 7.01 million to 14.03 million. The split aligns with JFB’s planned $1.5 billion all-stock merger with XTEND and aims to boost trading liquidity.
1. Stock Split Details
JFB announced a 2-for-1 split of its common stock effective March 24, 2026 for stockholders of record as of March 23, 2026, automatically doubling outstanding shares from approximately 7.01 million to 14.03 million without any action required by stockholders. The par value per share and total market capitalization will remain unchanged.
