How This Split Works
General Electric (GE) executed a 1:8 reverse split on 2021-07-30. Unlike round-up splits, GE cashes out fractional shares — meaning investors receive a cash payment for any fractional portion rather than receiving a full share. This limits the arbitrage opportunity, as you cannot profit from the round-up mechanic. The cash-out value is based on the post-split market price of $108.00.
Risk Factors
Cash-Out Settlement
GE cashes out fractional shares rather than rounding up. This means the standard RSA round-up strategy does not apply. Fractional shares are liquidated at the prevailing market price, limiting profit potential.

Broker Policy Changes
Brokers may change their fractional share rounding policies at any time. Always verify your broker's current policy before placing an RSA trade. What worked for previous splits may not apply to future ones.
Broker Fractional Share Policies
All major brokers cash out fractional shares for GE's 1:8 reverse split. No broker rounds up, so the standard RSA round-up strategy does not generate a profit with this stock.
