Insights

Equity market structure analyst

Assertio removes Nasdaq bid-price compliance overhang.

Assertio Holdings, Inc. disclosed that Nasdaq has confirmed the company is again in compliance with the minimum bid price requirement under Listing Rule 5550(a)(2) for continued listing on the Nasdaq Capital Market. Nasdaq’s notice also states the matter is now closed, signaling that the previous deficiency has been fully resolved.

Minimum bid price rules protect exchange quality by requiring listed stocks to trade above a defined price level. When a company falls out of compliance, it faces timelines and potential delisting if the issue is not cured. This confirmation means Assertio has met the required trading standards and is no longer operating under a bid-price deficiency plan.

For investors, the key effect is removal of delisting risk tied specifically to the bid-price rule as of January 12, 2026. Future listing status will continue to depend on the company’s ability to meet Nasdaq’s ongoing quantitative and qualitative requirements disclosed in that market’s rules.
