What is a stock split?

A stock split is a corporate action that alters the number of a company’s shares in circulation without changing its overall market value. In a conventional split, each existing share is divided into multiple new shares. In a 2-for-1 split, for example, a shareholder would receive two shares for every one previously held, and the share price would adjust accordingly.

A reverse stock split works in the opposite direction. Instead of issuing additional shares, the company consolidates several old shares into one new share. This reduces the number of shares outstanding and increases the price per share while keeping the company’s total market value the same at the point of the split.

Atos’s 2025 1-for-10,000 stock split

Atos completed a reverse stock split on 24 April 2025, exchanging 10,000 old shares with a nominal value of €0.0001 for one new ordinary share. This consolidation reduced the number of shares in circulation by a factor of 10,000 and mechanically lifted the share price from a fraction of a euro to the mid-€30s immediately after the operation.

The reverse split applied to the company’s primary listing on Euronext Paris under ticker ATO, which remains the main line of tradeable shares.

Why did Atos conduct a share split?

Companies often undertake reverse splits to consolidate their share capital and move the share price into a more customary trading range. This can streamline administrative processes and reduce the complexity that arises when a company has an exceptionally large number of low-nominal-value shares.

According to Atos’s corporate documentation, the 2025 reverse split was intended to normalise the share price, simplify the share structure and support the group’s wider restructuring and financing plans. These steps formed part of the company’s broader effort to stabilise operations, reduce costs and refine the portfolio across the Atos and Eviden segments.

A reverse split does not change a company’s market capitalisation at the time of the event. The total value remains the same, but the number of shares and the price per share adjust proportionately.

Will Atos split again in 2026?

As of 15 December 2025, Atos has not announced plans for another stock split or reverse split in 2026. Any future action would depend on factors such as the evolution of the share price, ongoing restructuring needs and relevant regulatory approvals. If the company decides to pursue another split, it would communicate this through official statements.
