ZK International (ZKIN, Financial) experienced a significant drop in its stock price, falling over 38% to $0.50. This decline followed the company's announcement of a 1-for-7 reverse stock split.

Upon the announcement, ZK International's stock initially plummeted over 40%, but the losses slightly narrowed after the market opened.
