Insights

Financial Analyst

This Nasdaq minimum bid price deficiency notice represents a significant red flag for investors. The company has until April 28, 2025 to get its share price above $1.00 for at least 10 consecutive trading days, or risk delisting. While this is a common occurrence for micro-cap stocks, it often indicates underlying business challenges or market skepticism.

The 180-day compliance period provides some breathing room, but PSIG will likely need to consider strategic options like a reverse stock split to maintain listing. Such corporate actions, while maintaining technical compliance, often don't address fundamental business issues and can lead to further price deterioration. The potential for dilutive financing or other capital-raising activities to support the stock price could negatively impact existing shareholders.

Hong Kong, Nov. 01, 2024 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- PS International Group Ltd. (NASDAQ: PSIG) (“PSIG” or the “Company”), a long-established global logistics service provider headquartered in Hong Kong specialized in cross-border air freight services, today announced that it received a delinquency notification letter (the “Notice”) from the Listing Qualifications Department of The Nasdaq Stock Market LLC (“Nasdaq”) on October 30, 2024 indicating that the Company is not currently in compliance with the minimum bid price requirement set forth in Nasdaq’s Listing Rules for continued listing on the Nasdaq Capital Market, as the closing bid price for the Company’s ordinary shares listed on the Nasdaq Capital Market was below $1.00 per share for 30 consecutive business days. Nasdaq Listing Rule 5550(a)(2) requires listed securities to maintain a minimum bid price of $1.00 per share, and Nasdaq Listing Rule 5810(c)(3)(A) provides that a failure to meet the minimum bid price requirement exists if the deficiency continues for a period of 30 consecutive business days. The Notice provides that the Company has a period of 180 calendar days from the date of the Notice, or until April 28, 2025, to regain compliance with the minimum bid price requirement.

The receipt of the Notice has no immediate effect on the Company’s business operations or the listing of the Company’s ordinary shares, which will continue to trade uninterrupted on the Nasdaq under the ticker “PSIG.” Pursuant to the Notice, the Company has until April 28, 2025 to regain compliance with the minimum bid price requirement, during which time the Company’s ordinary shares will continue to trade on the Nasdaq Capital Market. If at any time before April 28, 2025, the bid price of the Company’s ordinary shares closes at or above $1.00 per share for a minimum of 10 consecutive business days, Nasdaq will provide written confirmation of compliance to the Company.

In the event that the Company does not regain compliance by April 28, 2025, the Company may be eligible for additional time to regain compliance. To qualify, the Company would be required to meet the continued listing requirement for market value of publicly held shares and all other initial listing standards for the Nasdaq Capital Market, except for the minimum bid price requirement. In addition, the Company would be required to notify Nasdaq of its intent to cure the deficiency during the second compliance period.
