Upcoming Stock Splits This Week (August 18 to August 22)
These are the upcoming stock splits for the week of August 18 to August 22, based on TipRanks' Stock Splits Calendar. A stock split boosts the number of shares each investor holds, but the company's overall market value remains exactly the same. The effect is a lower share price, which often makes the stock more affordable and appealing to retail investors. Elevate Your Investing Strategy: Take advantage of TipRanks Premium at 50% off! Unlock powerful investing tools, advanced data, and expert analyst insights to help you invest with confidence. Traditional stock splits are designed to broaden a stock's accessibility by reducing its price per share. But some companies take the opposite route through a reverse stock split. In this case, shares are consolidated rather than divided, reducing the total count and raising the price per share. The company's overall market value remains unchanged, but this tactic is often a lifeline, helping firms stay in compliance with exchange rules, like Nasdaq's minimum price requirement, and sidestep the risk of delisting. Whether the goal is to attract new investors or maintain compliance, these strategic actions send signals that seasoned traders are quick to watch for. Let's take a look at the upcoming stock splits for the week. Salarius Pharmaceuticals (SLRX) – Salarius is a clinical-stage biopharmaceutical company focused on developing therapies for cancer and anemia. On August 14, the company announced a 1-for-15 reverse stock split to regain compliance with Nasdaq's $1.00 minimum bid price requirement. The split took effect on August 15, with split-adjusted trading beginning on August 18. Entero Therapeutics (ENTO) – Entero, a clinical-stage biopharma focused on targeted, non-systemic gastrointestinal (GI) therapies, is taking steps to secure its Nasdaq listing. On August 14, the company unveiled plans for a 1-for-3 reverse stock split, a move designed to keep its shares in compliance with exchange rules. The adjustment becomes effective August 18. Chanson International Holding (CHSN) – China-based Chanson International operates bakery chains and sells packaged bakery products, frozen dough, and other food items across domestic and international markets. On August 18, the company will implement an 80-for-1 reverse split to get back in line with Nasdaq's minimum bid price rule. LanzaTech Global (LNZA) – LanzaTech Global uses gas fermentation technology to capture carbon emissions and convert them into sustainable fuels and chemicals, partnering with major industrial players worldwide. The company announced a 1-for-100 reverse stock split to meet Nasdaq listing standards, with the split taking effect on August 18, and split-adjusted trading beginning on August 19. GIBO Holdings (GIBO) – GIBO Holdings, headquartered in Singapore, operates an AI-driven animation and entertainment streaming platform that produces and distributes original content while also offering digital media services. The company announced a 200-for-1 reverse split to streamline its capital structure and stay in line with listing requirements, with the split taking effect on August 20. Azitra (AZTR) – Azitra is a clinical-stage biotech company developing genetically engineered therapies and live biotherapeutics for dermatological conditions such as eczema and rare skin diseases. The company announced the 1-for-6.66 reverse stock split in order to bring its share price back above NYSE American's minimum bid requirement, effective on August 21, 2025.

Seeking Up to 11% Dividend Yield? Analysts Pick 2 Dividend Stocks to Buy
The stock markets hit a low in April, and have since shown a tremendous rebound – but can it last? That's the question investors are wrestling with now, and it seems they are getting some pointers from Barry Bannister, chief equity strategist at Stifel. Elevate Your Investing Strategy: Take advantage of TipRanks Premium at 50% off! Unlock powerful investing tools, advanced data, and expert analyst insights to help you invest with confidence. Bannister believes that the stock rebound – fueled by the AI boom, and the rush of capital spending as companies moved to get ahead of tariffs during the first half of the year – is simply not sustainable, noting that the S&P 500 is trading at a historically high valuation. 'Valuation doesn't matter until it does,' Bannister says, and adds that he can see the S&P 500 index falling as low as 5,500, for a drop of nearly 15%. Despite this downbeat outlook, Bannister is not recommending that investors get out of the market. He's recommending, instead, that investors make defensive moves to seek protection from a turndown. That outlook will naturally push investors' attention toward high-yield dividend stocks. These represent the classic defensive play, and for good reason. Dividends offer investors a steady income stream, and high-yield dividends guarantee a sound return well above the rate of inflation. Against this backdrop, we've opened up the TipRanks database to take a look at two dividend stocks that the analysts are picking out as Buys. These are dividend stocks offering yields as high as 11%, a solid return by any standard. Let's give them a closer look. Ellington Financial (EFC) The first stock we'll look at here, Ellington Financial, is a REIT, a real estate investment trust. These companies operate through strategic investments, mainly in real properties, mortgages, and mortgage-related assets, in both the residential and commercial spheres. Ellington's particular strategy involves building a diverse investment portfolio, made up of both residential and commercial mortgage loans, along with residential and commercial mortgage-backed securities, as well as other assets, including consumer loans, collateralized loan obligations, and various mortgage-related and non-mortgage-related securities and derivatives. Ellington's main goal in building this portfolio is to generate returns for its stockholders – in the company's words, 'attractive risk-adjusted total returns.' Ellington's strategy is opportunistic, targeting remunerative investments, but the company takes a defensive posture as well, investing across a wide range of sectors to capitalize on disparate strengths in its portfolio and making risk management a key part of its activities. As of June 30 this year, Ellington Financial had a total of $16.1 billion in assets under management. This portfolio is managed by an experienced team – the company's portfolio managers average 30 years of industry experience. These features of Ellington's business, its focus on shareholder returns and the long experience of its management team, have helped the company to cement a reputation as a high-quality dividend payer. The company's dividend features a high yield, as well as a monthly payment schedule. The last declaration, made on August 7 for a September 30 payment, was for 13 cents per common share. That dividend annualizes to $1.56 per share and gives a powerful forward yield of 11.5%. In its 2Q25 financial report, Ellington listed its quarterly adjusted distributable earnings as $45 million, or 47 cents per share. This was more than enough to fully cover the dividend, which currently comes to 39 cents per quarter. Covering this stock for Piper Sandler, following the Q2 print, analyst Crispin Love laid out a clear case for investors to go long on EFC: 'Ellington posted a beat this quarter with strength in both its credit and Longbridge strategies. In April around the market volatility, Ellington saw opportunities to deploy capital in its core credit strategies and also saw attractive opportunities in securities. Following the volatility, EFC was able to complete six securitizations in the quarter, which is a record for the company. The company also experienced success from its loan originator platforms, and we would not be surprised to see more partnerships and equity stakes over the intermediate term. Specifically, if there is GSE reform it could limit Fannie and Freddie's footprint and provide opportunities for Ellington to grow further in the non-QM space which is an area of expertise. Management was positive on the forward earnings trajectory and continued coverage of the $0.39 dividend.' These comments back up Love's Overweight (i.e., Buy) rating, and his $14.50 price target implies a gain of 5.5% in the next 12 months. But with the dividend yield included the upside can reach 17%. (To watch Love's track record, click here) There are 7 recent analyst reviews on record for Ellington, and the 5-to-2 split, favoring Buys over Holds, supports a Moderate Buy consensus rating. The Street's average target of $14.25 is the same as Love's. (See EFC stock forecast) LPG) Our world runs on energy, and the next company on our list here, Dorian LPG, is a leading carrier of that energy. Dorian is an owner/operator of very large gas carriers, VLGC vessels, which are the largest ocean-going carriers of liquefied petroleum gas, an important fuel in the world economy. The core of Dorian's business is its fleet of ships. The company maintains a modern fleet of VLGCs, with the oldest ship dating back to 2007. Most of the company's vessels were launched much more recently, in 2015, and the newest vessels in the fleet were launched in 2023. The vessels have an average age of 8 years, and their aggregate carrying capacity is some 2.1 million cubic meters of LPG. Dorian owns 21 of its ships, and operates the others on charter agreements. Most of the ships in Dorian's fleet are flagged in the Bahamas, although several are flagged in Liberia, Madeira, or Panama. The company is headquartered in Connecticut and has offices in Copenhagen and Athens. The international office footprint, and varying flags, are also common on the world's oceangoing cargo carriers. Dorian finished its last quarter, fiscal 1Q26 (June quarter), with just over $278 million in cash and liquid assets. The company pays an irregular dividend, meaning it has no obligation to pay out, or to maintain dividend payments at any level; while this poses risks for investors, it also allows the company to adjust the dividend to keep them affordable. That said, Dorian has been paying out dividends since 2021, and has not missed a quarterly payment in that time. The most recent dividend, declared on August 1 for payment on the 27th, set the rate at 60 cents per share. This dividend annualizes to $2.40 per common share, and gives a forward yield of 8%. On the financial side, Dorian generated $84.2 million in total revenues during its fiscal first quarter, a total that was down 26% year-over-year and fell shy of analyst expectations by $2.3 million. Additionally, adj. EPS of $0.27 missed the Street's forecast by $0.34. Despite the weak report, Jefferies analyst Omar Nokta remains bullish on the stock, writing: 'Dorian reported softer than expected fiscal 1Q26 results mainly due to higher G&A and higher drydocking costs, and also slightly lower than expected revenues… We view this earnings miss as a one-off… VLGC spot rates have strengthened materially and are at 2025 highs, setting up a very strong upcoming result next quarter and potentially a higher dividend… The company remains dedicated to returning capital to shareholders, and its shares trade at a discount to our NAV valuation of $33.80/sh… Dorian is our top pick in the LPG space, and we remain constructive on the name.' The 5-star analyst rates LPG shares as a Buy, and gives them a price target of $35, pointing toward a one-year gain of 16.5%. (To watch Nokta's track record, click here) There are only 2 recent analyst reviews on file for Dorian, but both are positive, giving the stock its Moderate Buy consensus rating. The shares are priced at $30.06, and the $33 average price target implies a 10% upside potential on the one-year horizon.
