[25-NSE] Nxu, Inc. SEC Filing
Nasdaq Stock Market LLC has filed a Form 25 to remove Nxu, Inc. (ticker NXU) Class A common stock from listing and registration under Section 12(b) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934. A Form 25 starts the delisting process; the security will generally be stricken from Nasdaq 10 days after filing and its registration terminated 90 days after, unless the SEC objects.
The filing states that Nasdaq "has complied with its rules" to strike the shares, indicating either an involuntary delisting (rule 12d2-2(b)) or issuer-initiated withdrawal (rule 12d2-2(c)); the document does not specify which box was checked. No financial data, earnings metrics or corporate statements are included. Once delisted, NXU will no longer be quoted on Nasdaq, likely moving to the OTC market, reducing liquidity, analyst coverage and index inclusion.

Insights
TL;DR – Delisting is a material negative for liquidity, valuation and investor perception.
Form 25 filings are rare for healthy issuers; they typically signal non-compliance with listing standards (price, reporting, capital) or an issuer’s decision to leave the exchange. Regardless of cause, loss of Nasdaq listing removes ready access to institutional capital, can trigger fund mandate sales, and raises the company’s perceived risk profile. Trading will migrate to the OTC market, where bid-ask spreads widen and volumes fall. Existing shareholders face higher execution costs and potential value erosion. Unless management provides a rapid remediation plan, this action is clearly adverse.
