NextPlat (NXPL, Financial) has been informed by Nasdaq that it currently does not meet the listing requirements, as its stock's closing bid price has stayed below $1.00 for 30 straight business days. Nasdaq has set a compliance deadline of October 27, 2025, allowing NextPlat 180 days to rectify this situation. To comply, the share price must reach or exceed $1.00 for a minimum of 10 consecutive business days within this period.
Should NextPlat fail to meet this deadline, it might receive an additional 180-day extension, given it satisfies other Nasdaq listing standards and submits their intent to address the issue. Failure to achieve compliance, even after the extension, would result in notification of potential delisting. Currently, the company is exploring strategies to address the share price concern while ensuring no disruption to its common shares despite the notification from Nasdaq.
