Maxeon Solar Technologies, Ltd. ( MAXN ) shares are moving lower on Monday after the company announced a reverse stock split.

The Details: Shareholders of the company approved a 1-for-100 reverse stock split on August 29. This comes after Maxeon received a Staff Determination letter from the Nasdaq warning the company of a potential delisting after its stock traded at 10 cents or less for 10 consecutive trading days.
