Capstone (NASDAQ: CAPS) gets Nasdaq notice on $1 minimum bid price

Rhea-AI Filing Summary

Capstone Holding Corp. received a Nasdaq notice on January 7, 2026 that its common stock no longer meets the exchange’s minimum bid price rule. For 30 consecutive business days, the closing bid for its shares was below the required $1.00 per share for continued listing on The Nasdaq Capital Market.

The company has 180 calendar days, until July 6, 2026, to regain compliance, which would occur if the bid price closes at or above $1.00 for at least 10 straight business days. If it still fails to meet the standard, Capstone may receive an additional 180-day grace period if it satisfies other Nasdaq listing criteria; otherwise, its stock could be delisted.

The stock continues to trade under the symbol CAPS, and Capstone plans to monitor its share price and consider options to restore compliance, while cautioning that success is not assured.

Positive

• None.

Negative

• Nasdaq bid-price deficiency and delisting risk: Capstone’s stock has stayed below the $1.00 minimum bid for 30 consecutive business days, triggering a Nasdaq notice and creating a defined timeline after which its shares could be delisted if compliance is not restored.

Insights

Equity markets and listing standards analyst

Nasdaq bid-price deficiency raises delisting risk for Capstone.

Capstone Holding Corp. has fallen out of compliance with Nasdaq’s minimum bid price requirement after 30 consecutive business days with a closing bid under $1.00. Nasdaq has sent a formal deficiency notice, but the stock remains on The Nasdaq Capital Market while the company works within the grace period.

The company has 180 calendar days, until July 6, 2026, to achieve at least 10 straight trading days with a closing bid of $1.00 or more. If it meets other initial listing standards, it may qualify for an additional 180-day extension; otherwise, Nasdaq may move toward delisting the shares from the market.

Management states it will monitor the share price and may consider options to regain compliance, while explicitly warning there is no assurance it will succeed. The eventual outcome depends on both market trading in the stock and any actions the company chooses to take under Nasdaq’s rules.

Item 3.01. Notice of Delisting or Failure to Satisfy a Continued Listing Rule or Standard; Transfer of Listing.

On January 7, 2026, Capstone Holding Corp. (the “Company”) received a deficiency letter from the Nasdaq Listing Qualifications Department (the “Staff”) of The Nasdaq Stock Market LLC (“Nasdaq”) notifying the Company that, for the last 30 consecutive business days, the closing bid price for the Company’s common stock has been below the minimum $1.00 per share required for continued listing on The Nasdaq Capital Market pursuant to Nasdaq Listing Rule 5550(a)(2) (the “Minimum Bid Price Requirement”). The Nasdaq deficiency letter has no immediate effect on the listing of the Company’s common stock, and its common stock will continue to trade on The Nasdaq Capital Market under the symbol “CAPS” at this time.

In accordance with Nasdaq Listing Rule 5810(c)(3)(a), the Company has been given 180 calendar days, or until July 6, 2026, to regain compliance with the Minimum Bid Price Requirement. If at any time before July 6, 2026, the bid price of the Company’s common stock closes at $1.00 per share or more for a minimum of 10 consecutive business days, the Staff will provide written confirmation that the Company has achieved compliance.

If the Company does not regain compliance with the Minimum Bid Price Requirement by July 6, 2026, the Company may be eligible for an additional 180 calendar day period to regain compliance. To qualify, the Company will be required to meet the continued listing requirement for market value of publicly held shares and all other initial listing standards for The Nasdaq Capital Market, except for the Minimum Bid Price Requirement. In addition, the Company would be required to notify Nasdaq of its intent to cure the deficiency during the second compliance period. If the Company meets these requirements, Nasdaq will inform the Company that it has been granted an additional 180 calendar days. However, if it appears to Staff that the Company will not be able to cure the deficiency, or if the Company is otherwise not eligible, Nasdaq will provide notice that the Company’s securities are subject to delisting.

The Company intends to monitor the closing bid price of its common stock and may, if appropriate, consider available options to regain compliance with the Minimum Bid Price Requirement. However, there can be no assurance that the Company will be able to regain compliance with the Minimum Bid Price Requirement or will otherwise be in compliance with other Nasdaq Listing Rules.
