Nasdaq flags SCWorx (NASDAQ: WORX) for MVPHS deficiency and starts cure period
Rhea-AI Filing Summary
SCWorx Corp. received a Nasdaq notice dated July 24, 2026 stating that its Market Value of Publicly Held Shares (MVPHS) did not meet the required minimum of $1,000,000 for 30 consecutive business days, from June 10, 2026 through July 23, 2026, under Nasdaq Listing Rule 5550(a)(5).
This triggers a 180‑day compliance period through January 20, 2027. If at any time in that period SCWorx’s MVPHS is at least $1,000,000 for a minimum of ten consecutive business days (or a longer period Nasdaq may require, up to twenty days), Nasdaq will confirm compliance. The company is reviewing alternatives to regain and sustain compliance; as of the date of the report, the board had not chosen a specific course of action. Failure to regain compliance would subject the common stock to delisting, though SCWorx could appeal, with no assurance of success.
Positive

Negative

5 terms
Nasdaq Listing Rule 5550(a)(5) regulatory
"as required by Nasdaq Listing Rule 5550(a)(5)"
continued listing requirements regulatory
"with the MVPHS Requirement and with all other applicable Nasdaq continued listing requirements"
Rules a stock exchange sets that a publicly traded company must keep meeting to stay listed and tradable on that exchange, such as minimum share price, market value, timely financial reports, and basic governance practices. Like a club’s membership rules, they matter because falling short can lead to warnings, penalties or removal from the exchange, which can cut liquidity, hurt share value and increase the risk for investors.
Nasdaq Deficiency Notice regulatory
"The Company is reviewing the Nasdaq Deficiency Notice and evaluating the alternatives"
A Nasdaq deficiency notice is a formal letter from the Nasdaq stock exchange telling a listed company it has failed to meet one or more required standards—such as minimum share price, market value, or timely financial filings. It matters to investors because the notice begins a limited period for the company to fix the issue or risk being removed from the exchange, which can reduce trading liquidity, increase volatility, and signal elevated risk—like a warning light that, if not addressed, can lead to bigger problems.
delisting regulatory
"its Common Stock is subject to delisting. At that time, the Company may appeal"
Delisting occurs when a company's stock is removed from a stock exchange and is no longer available for trading there. This can happen voluntarily or because the company no longer meets the exchange's requirements. For investors, delisting means they can no longer buy or sell shares of that company on the exchange, which may make it more difficult to sell their investments or affect the stock's value.

FAQ
What Nasdaq rule did SCWorx (WORX) fail to satisfy?
SCWorx failed to satisfy Nasdaq Listing Rule 5550(a)(5), which requires a minimum Market Value of Publicly Held Shares (MVPHS) of $1,000,000. Nasdaq found the company’s MVPHS below that level for 30 consecutive business days ending July 23, 2026.
What MVPHS level must SCWorx (WORX) reach to regain Nasdaq compliance?
To regain compliance, SCWorx must have an MVPHS of at least $1,000,000 for a minimum of ten consecutive business days. Nasdaq may, at its discretion, require the MVPHS to meet this threshold for up to twenty consecutive business days before confirming compliance.
How long does SCWorx (WORX) have to cure the Nasdaq MVPHS deficiency?
SCWorx has a 180‑day compliance period through January 20, 2027 to cure the MVPHS deficiency. Any time during that period, achieving the required MVPHS level for the specified consecutive days would allow Nasdaq to confirm the company has regained compliance.
What happens if SCWorx (WORX) does not regain Nasdaq MVPHS compliance by January 20, 2027?
If SCWorx does not regain MVPHS compliance by January 20, 2027, Nasdaq will issue written notification that its common stock is subject to delisting. The company could appeal the decision to a Nasdaq hearings panel, but there is no assurance any appeal would succeed.
What actions is the SCWorx (WORX) board considering after the Nasdaq deficiency notice?
SCWorx states its board is reviewing the Nasdaq Deficiency Notice and evaluating alternatives to regain and sustain compliance with the MVPHS requirement and other continued listing standards. As of the report date, the board had not determined which alternative or combination of alternatives, if any, it will pursue.
