Eightco regains Nasdaq minimum bid-price compliance
The earlier deficiency notice gave Eightco 180 calendar days, or until February 1, 2027, to regain compliance.
Sentiment and the balance of points
Rhea-AI Sentiment reads the wording of the document, how positive or negative its language is on a 1 to 5 scale. The balance of points shown with the takes weighs what the document actually discloses, so the two can disagree, for example when a trial that missed its main goal is described in upbeat language.
Rhea-AI Filing Summary
Eightco Holdings Inc. regained compliance with Nasdaq’s $1.00 per share minimum bid-price requirement after its common stock’s closing bid price met or exceeded that level for 10 consecutive business days, from September 24, 2026, through October 7, 2026. Nasdaq advised that the matter is closed, and the common stock continues to trade on The Nasdaq Capital Market under ORBS.

Dear Kevin O’Donnell:
On August 5, 2026, Staff notified the Company that its Common Stock failed to maintain a minimum bid price of $1.00 over the previous 30 consecutive business days as required by the Listing Rules of The Nasdaq Stock Market. Since then, Staff has determined that for the last 10 consecutive business days, from September 24, 2026 to October 7, 2026, the closing bid price of the Company’s Common Stock has been at $1.00 per share or greater. Accordingly, the Company has regained compliance with Listing Rule 5550(a)(2), and this matter is now closed.1
If you have any questions, please contact Patryk Muter at +1 (301) 532 6389.
Thank you,
Nasdaq Listing Qualifications
1 Staff notes that Listing Rule 5810(c)(3)(A)(iv) states in part, “if a Company’s security fails to meet the continued listing requirement for minimum bid price and the Company has effected a reverse stock split over the prior one-year period; or has effected one or more reverse stock splits over the prior two-year period with a cumulative ratio of 250 shares or more to one, then the Company shall not be eligible for any compliance period specified in this Rule 5810(c)(3)(A) and the Listing Qualifications Department shall issue a Staff Delisting Determination under Rule 5810 with respect to that security.”
