Seneca Foods stock (ISIN US8170705011) closed at USD 177.66 on Nasdaq on October 2, 2026, up USD 0.63 or 0.36 percent from the prior close. The central corporate event is a proposed five-for-one forward stock split that shareholders will vote on at a special meeting scheduled for November 4, 2026, according to StockTitan.
Five shares proposed for one
The proposal would give holders four additional shares for every share held if both charter amendments pass and the filing becomes effective. The proxy materials state that the split would not change proportional ownership or relative voting power, while authorized Class A common shares would rise from 20,000,000 to 100,000,000.
The vote also covers removal of the authorized Preferred Stock Without Par Value. The proposal was approved by Seneca Foods' board on September 21, 2026, and the meeting is set for 1:00 p.m. ET on November 4, 2026, at the Woodcliff Hotel & Spa in Fairport, New York, per the StockTitan filing.
