How This Trade Works
Here's a step-by-step breakdown of how the AMC reverse split arbitrage works using AMC Entertainment Holdings's actual numbers.
Buy 9 shares of AMC
Purchase 9 shares at $0.66 each. Total cost: $5.94. You need exactly 9 shares because the split ratio is 1:10.
The 1:10 reverse split executes
Your 9 shares are consolidated at the 1:10 ratio. Since 9 ÷ 10 = 0.9000, you end up with a fractional share of 0.9000 post-split shares.
Fractional share rounds up to 1 full share
Because AMC Entertainment Holdings rounds up fractional shares, your 0.9000 shares become 1 full share worth $6.60.
Sell for profit
Sell your 1 post-split share at $6.60. You paid $5.94 and received $6.60.
