AtlasClear Holdings Responds to NYSE American Trading Suspension and Delisting Proceedings; Intends to Appeal
Shareholders retain their ownership, voting rights and economic interests despite the trading suspension.
Sentiment and the balance of points
Rhea-AI Sentiment reads the wording of the document, how positive or negative its language is on a 1 to 5 scale. The balance of points shown with the takes weighs what the document actually discloses, so the two can disagree, for example when a trial that missed its main goal is described in upbeat language.
Rhea-AI Summary
AtlasClear Holdings (ATCH) had trading in its common stock suspended immediately by NYSE American, which began delisting proceedings over its low selling price. The company intends to appeal and seek a reverse stock split to support continued listing. Shares remain listed during the appeal but suspended from NYSE American trading; the company expects OTC quotation under ATCH. The exchange will apply to delist only after all applicable procedures, including any appeal, are complete.
Subsidiary AtlasClearing continues ordinary-course clearing operations and remains compliant with regulatory net capital requirements. It has signed eight correspondent broker-dealer agreements, with onboarding continuing. Fiscal 2026 revenue increased 85% to $20.1 million, before material contributions from newly signed correspondents. Cash more than doubled to $15.4 million without an at-the-market offering or equity line.
How this balance works
Rhea-AI gives every point it takes from this document a weight. Minor counts 1, Moderate 3 and Major 9, so one Major point outweighs several Minor ones. The bar adds up the weights on each side, and when neither side holds more than 65% of the total the balance reads Mixed.
It reads the document as published, with the same rules for every company, and it does not look at what the market expected or at how the stock traded, so a point can be objectively good on a day the stock falls.
Rhea-AI Sentiment measures something else, the tone of the wording.

News Explained
An expected OTC quotation is not assurance of an active market; the suspension and intended reverse split do not change holders’ percentage ownership.
NYSE American has suspended trading in AtlasClear’s common stock and started delisting proceedings over its low selling price; the stock remains listed while AtlasClear intends to appeal, and the suspension does not change the number of shares holders own or their percentage ownership.
AtlasClear also intends to seek a reverse stock split to support the appeal; a reverse split reduces share count and proportionally raises per-share price, while the company says it would not change holders’ percentage ownership.
The company expects OTC quotation under ATCH during the appeal, but says there is no assurance an active OTC trading market will develop.

-AtlasClearing Remains Compliant with Regulatory Net Capital Requirements as Correspondent Clearing and Onboarding Continue-
-Common Stock Expected to Be Quoted on the OTC Market Under “ATCH” During Appeal-
TAMPA, Fla., Nov. 10, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- AtlasClear Holdings, Inc. (“AtlasClear” or the “Company”), a company building regulated financial infrastructure for smaller institutions, fintechs and advisors, today announced that on November 10, 2026, it was notified by NYSE American LLC (the “Exchange”) that the Exchange’s staff has suspended trading in the Company’s common stock, effective immediately, and has determined to commence proceedings to delist the common stock. The Exchange cited Section 1003(f)(v) of the NYSE American Company Guide, based on the low selling price of the common stock.
Key Takeaways
- AtlasClearing’s clearing operations continue in the ordinary course, and AtlasClearing remains compliant with its regulatory net capital requirements.
- The Exchange’s determination is based on the low selling price of the common stock, not on the Company’s operations or regulatory capital.
- AtlasClearing has signed eight correspondent broker-dealer agreements, and onboarding continues.
- The Company intends to appeal. During the appeal process, the common stock is expected to be quoted on the OTC market under the symbol “ATCH.”
- Shareholders continue to own their shares; the suspension does not change the number of shares held or shareholders’ percentage ownership.
The Company intends to appeal the staff’s determination by requesting a hearing before a Listing Qualifications Panel of the Committee for Review of the Board of Directors of the Exchange, as permitted under Section 1203 of the NYSE American Company Guide. During the appeal process, the common stock will remain suspended from trading on the NYSE American and is expected to be quoted on the OTC market. The common stock remains listed on the NYSE American while the appeal is pending. The Exchange has stated that it will apply to the Securities and Exchange Commission to delist the common stock only upon completion of all applicable procedures, including any appeal by the Company. The Company currently intends to seek to effect a reverse stock split as one tool to support its appeal and continued listing. A reverse stock split would not, by itself, change shareholders’ percentage ownership of the Company.
The Exchange’s determination is based solely on the low selling price of the common stock. It does not relate to AtlasClearing’s regulatory capital compliance, the Company’s financial condition or the status of its correspondent clearing operations.
“Our underlying business remains operational, and our strategic priorities have not changed,” said John Schaible, Executive Chairman of AtlasClear Holdings. “We intend to pursue the appeal process and seek to restore trading on the NYSE American, while continuing to execute on our correspondent clearing strategy. AtlasClearing remains compliant with its regulatory capital requirements, and we believe the progress we are making in expanding our clearing platform is what will ultimately define the business.”
“Our correspondent clearing operations continue in the ordinary course, and our team remains focused on bringing additional firms onto the platform,” said Craig Ridenhour, President of AtlasClear Holdings and Chairman of AtlasClearing, Inc. “We have invested in the infrastructure, regulatory capabilities and personnel needed to support these relationships, and that work continues. On the operating side, our focus is on converting signed correspondent agreements into active clearing relationships and building a stronger, more diversified revenue base.”
Clearing Operations and Growth Strategy Continue
AtlasClear’s wholly owned subsidiary, AtlasClearing, Inc. (formerly Wilson-Davis & Co., Inc.) (“AtlasClearing”), continues to operate its regulated clearing business and remains compliant with applicable net capital requirements. AtlasClearing has signed eight correspondent broker-dealer agreements, and the Company remains focused on expanding its correspondent clearing relationships, onboarding signed broker-dealer clients and developing its integrated financial infrastructure platform.
The Company continues to pursue its strategy of providing clearing and financial infrastructure services to smaller broker-dealers and financial institutions. Management remains focused on translating its growing correspondent network into active clearing activity, recurring revenue opportunities and long-term operating growth.
AtlasClear’s fiscal 2026 revenue increased
Trading of Common Stock
The Company’s common stock remains issued and outstanding. During the appeal process, the Company expects its common stock to be quoted on the OTC market operated by OTC Markets Group under the symbol “ATCH.” The Company intends to continue to file reports with the Securities and Exchange Commission and to provide regular updates to shareholders, and holders’ ownership, voting rights and economic interests are unchanged. There can be no assurance that an active trading market will develop on the OTC market or that the appeal will be successful such that trading in the common stock will resume on the NYSE American.
The Company will file a Current Report on Form 8-K with the Securities and Exchange Commission disclosing the Exchange’s notice.
