On July 16, 2026, T3 Defense announced a 1-for-125 reverse stock split of its common stock, which became effective at 12:01 a.m. on July 20, 2026. The move was designed to help the company regain compliance with Nasdaq's minimum bid price requirement.

The split significantly reduced the number of shares outstanding from approximately 139.8 million to roughly 1.12 million (or about 1 million on a rounded basis in company disclosures). In micro-cap and small-float stocks, such a contraction can amplify price swings: relatively modest buying volume can produce outsized percentage gains as available shares become scarce.

Day-trading interest has further fueled the momentum, with the stock experiencing high volatility, trading halts, and multi-session advances in the post-split period.

T3 Defense has highlighted recent business execution that investors are watching closely. In mid-July, the company's wholly owned subsidiary Rimon completed delivery of a $1.1 million order for Yam-Or portable elevated battlefield lighting systems to a major Israeli defense customer. The order was fulfilled in two phases entirely through Rimon's in-house engineering and manufacturing, meeting stringent defense logistics standards. These systems provide rapid-deployment illumination covering hundreds of meters, suited for perimeter defense, checkpoints, border surveillance, and forward operating bases. Earlier in the month (July 10 announcement), T3 Defense acquired a 60% stake in Project35, an Israeli developer of drones, aerial interceptors, and counter-UAV systems. Project35 already supplies Tier-1 customers including Israel Aerospace Industries (IAI), ELTA Systems, Rafael, Elbit Systems, and the Israel Ministry of Defense. The portfolio includes field-proven unmanned platforms and an autonomous aerial interceptor that has completed initial live-fire trials. Project35 expects approximately $2.4 million in 2026 revenue (following about $1.4 million unaudited in 2025). The transaction involved the issuance of roughly 21 million pre-split T3 shares plus a $1.25 million promissory note, with T3 also committing to invest an additional $2.5 million in the business over 12 months.
