Smith-Midland (NASDAQ:SMID) has received a Nasdaq deficiency notice on April 17, 2025, due to delayed filing of its Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2024. The company is currently non-compliant with Listing Rule 5250(c)(1), though this notice does not immediately affect its Nasdaq trading status.

The company has 60 calendar days to submit a compliance plan and may receive an additional 180-day extension until October 13, 2025, if Nasdaq accepts the plan.
