Swissquote Group Holding SA, the Switzerland-based online banking and brokerage firm listed on the SIX Swiss Exchange under the ticker SQN, has announced a 1:10 share split set to take effect by the end of May 2026, a move designed to make its stock more accessible to everyday retail investors.

Swissquote Announces 1:10 Share Split Effective May 2026

Under the terms of the split, each existing Swissquote share will become ten shares, expanding the company’s total outstanding shares from 15,328,170 to 153,281,700.Consequently, the share price will likely drop to approximately one-tenth of its current level. As of now, Swissquote shares trade at CHF 393.60, roughly USD $500, a price point that makes purchasing even a standard block of 100 shares a costly endeavour for smaller investors.

The split, however, does not alter the company’s overall market capitalisation. Rather, it redistributes the same total value across a greater number of shares, thereby lowering the barrier to entry for retail participation.

In terms of implementation, Swissquote will register the split with the Commercial Registry on May 26, 2026, at which point the par value of each share will decrease from CHF 0.20 to CHF 0.02. Two days later, on May 28, 2026, the newly split shares will begin trading on the SIX Swiss Exchange under a new Swiss security number — 154823524 — and a new ISIN, CH1548235246. The opening price on that date will be calculated by dividing the previous session’s closing price by ten.

As for shareholders, custodians will update client accounts to reflect the split as of May 28, 2026. Investors seeking further clarification should contact their respective custodians directly.

It is worth noting that Swissquote shares have declined roughly 13% over the past year. Even so, at nearly CHF 394 per share, the stock remains among the higher-priced equities on the Swiss Exchange, making this split a timely measure to broaden its investor base ahead of what the company may hope will be a recovery in sentiment.
