Nasdaq Minimum Bid Price Deficiency
Nasdaq notified Uni-Fuels on July 27, 2026 that its closing bid price was below $1 for 30 consecutive business days (June 11 – July 24), violating Listing Rule 5550(a)(2).
-
180-Day Compliance Period
The company has until January 25, 2027 to regain compliance by maintaining a closing bid price of at least $1 for 10 consecutive business days, or by completing a reverse stock split at least 10 business days before the deadline.
-
Delisting Risk if Non-Compliant
If compliance is not regained by January 25, 2027, the company may be eligible for a second 180-day period only if it meets other listing standards and commits to a reverse split; otherwise, Nasdaq will initiate delisting proceedings.
-
Reverse Split Authorization Already in Place
Shareholders approved a reverse stock split authorization on June 8, 2026, giving the board discretion to implement a split to address the bid price deficiency — a move that now appears increasingly likely.
Analysis · UFG · Trade & Services
Nasdaq has formally notified Uni-Fuels that its stock price fell below the $1 minimum bid requirement for 30 consecutive business days. The company now has 180 days, until January 25, 2027, to regain compliance—typically by sustaining a closing price above $1 for 10 consecutive days or by executing a reverse stock split. Failure to do so risks delisting from the Nasdaq Capital Market. This comes just weeks after shareholders approved a reverse split authorization, signaling that management anticipated this risk. The deficiency notice crystallizes the listing threat and puts pressure on the company to act, likely through a reverse split that would mechanically lift the share price but could further erode investor confidence.
