Historical Context
| Date | Event | Sentiment | Move | Catalyst |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Aug 29 | Nasdaq deficiency notice | Negative | -6.3% | Nasdaq notified EDHL of minimum bid price non-compliance and set cure deadline. |
Prior Nasdaq minimum bid deficiency news coincided with a negative price reaction, showing sensitivity to listing-status developments.
On Aug 29, 2025, EDHL disclosed a Nasdaq notice for failing the $1.00 minimum bid requirement after 30 consecutive days below that level, with a -6.28% next-day reaction. Nasdaq granted until Feb 23, 2026 to regain compliance, potentially via measures such as a reverse split. The current 1-for-16 reverse share split and par value change follow that earlier deficiency notice, aligning with efforts to address the low share price and preserve the Nasdaq listing.
Market Pulse Summary
The stock dropped -30.5% in the session following this news. A negative reaction despite the announced 1-for-16 reverse split fits a pattern where listing-related news has coincided with pressure, including the prior Nasdaq deficiency notice that saw a -6.28% move. The low pre-split price of $0.2195 and history of trading well below the $1.00 minimum bid could reinforce concerns about long-term listing stability and volatility around the February 2026 compliance deadline.
