Insights

Listing Compliance Analyst

Chijet received a Nasdaq minimum bid-price deficiency and has until April 13, 2026 to regain compliance.

The company currently fails Nasdaq Listing Rule 5550(a)(2) because the closing bid price remained below $1.00 for 30 consecutive business days, triggering a formal deficiency notice under Rule 5810(b). The notice itself does not pause trading; the listing remains active while the company has a 180-calendar-day compliance window under Rule 5810(c)(3)(A).

Key dependencies include achieving a closing bid at or above $1.00 for 10 consecutive business days or obtaining additional time if eligible and no other deficiencies exist. Management’s mention of a possible reverse stock split is a standard remedial choice; its success depends solely on shareholder approval and market reception. Watch the closing bid over the next 10–180 days and any disclosed corporate actions (share consolidation) before April 13, 2026.

Corporate Finance Strategist

The deficiency raises governance and capital-structure considerations but is a recoverable listing issue if addressed promptly.

The mechanics are straightforward: regain the minimum bid threshold or effect a reverse split to raise the per-share price mechanically. A reverse split changes share count and per‑share math but does not by itself change underlying capital unless tied to other equity actions.

Risks include shareholder dilution if paired with financing and potential negative market reaction to corporate-action announcements. Concrete items to monitor in the near term are any announced reverse split proposals, shareholder meeting notices, and daily closing bid trends; the relevant horizon is immediate to April 13, 2026.
