Analysis · CNTY · Real Estate & Construction
Century Casinos has a hard problem on its hands: its market value of listed securities has sat below Nasdaq's $35 million minimum for 30 straight business days, and the company now has until April 19, 2027 to fix it. That deadline lands on a company already carrying liquidity strain, covenant non-compliance and material weaknesses in internal controls, as previously disclosed. The escape hatches are narrow: get MVLS back above $35 million for 10 consecutive business days, or qualify under the alternative tests of at least $2.5 million in stockholders' equity or $500,000 of net income from continuing operations. Failing that, Nasdaq staff issues a delisting determination, which the company can appeal to a hearings panel but with no assurance of success. A delisting would hit a stock already trading near its 52-week low, thinning liquidity and pushing institutional holders out. The notice itself does not suspend trading today.
