| Jul 03 | Regained compliance | Positive | +2.9% | Nasdaq confirmed continued listing compliance after public offerings. |
Recent Nasdaq listing-related news (deficiency, regained compliance, meeting logistics) has typically produced modest but directionally aligned price moves, with negative regulatory signals drawing declines and positive compliance updates seeing mild gains.
Over the last six months, VS Media’s key developments have centered on Nasdaq listing compliance and financing. On Jul 3, 2025, the company reported regaining compliance with Nasdaq’s continued listing standards after public offerings raising $9.17 million, and the stock rose about 2.94%. Later, a Dec 16, 2025 notice highlighted a minimum bid price deficiency, followed by a Dec 30, 2025 AGM postponement. Today’s 1-for-20 share combination directly addresses the minimum bid issue flagged in mid-December.
