Nasdaq Delisting Notice Received
On April 24, 2026, Nasdaq notified Stardust Power Inc. that it failed to satisfy the minimum $35 million market value of listed securities requirement for 30 consecutive business days. The company also does not meet requirements for minimum stockholders' equity ($2.5 million) or net income ($500,000).
-
180-Day Compliance Period
The company has 180 calendar days, until October 21, 2026, to regain compliance with Nasdaq's listing rules. This can be achieved by maintaining a market value of listed securities of at least $35 million for 10 consecutive business days, or by meeting the alternative standards for stockholders' equity or net income.
-
Oklahoma State Support for Lithium Project
The company's proposed Lithium Refinery Project received significant support from the Office of the Governor of Oklahoma and the Oklahoma Department of Commerce, highlighting the state's energy hub status and potential for economic benefits.
Analysis · SDST · Manufacturing
Stardust Power Inc. received a notice from Nasdaq indicating non-compliance with the minimum $35 million market value of listed securities requirement, as well as other listing rules related to stockholders' equity and net income. This notice is a critical development, especially given the company's prior disclosure of a 'going concern' warning in its recent 10-K filing. Failure to regain compliance by October 21, 2026, could lead to delisting, severely impacting the company's ability to raise capital and maintain investor confidence. While the company also reported receiving support from the Oklahoma Governor's office for its Lithium Refinery Project, this positive development is significantly overshadowed by the immediate and severe threat of delisting.
