GoKawiilStudy: 145 Nasdaq firms hit with $1 price notices in 2025, most survived via reverse splits
An analysis tracked all 145 Nasdaq companies that received a first minimum bid price notice in the first half of 2025 through October 26, 2026. It found 108 remain listed, though 30 of those have fallen back below $1, while 37 companies were delisted, acquired, or went bankrupt. 85 companies executed a reverse stock split, typically 1-for-20, with the median split occurring 258 days after the warning letter.
GoKawiil's interpretation of the reporting above, not reported fact.
The findings suggest that while reverse splits are the most common response to delisting threats and often succeed in regaining compliance, they do not necessarily restore shareholder value, since many of these stocks remain depressed. Opendoor's recovery without a split stands out as an exception rather than the norm, which could temper expectations that similar rebounds are typical for companies facing delisting warnings.
- 74.5% of the 145 tracked companies remain listed 16-22 months after their first warning, but over a quarter of those trade below $1 again
- 58.6% of companies used a reverse stock split, usually 1-for-20, often waiting until deep into the compliance window
- 37 companies disappeared from exchanges via delisting, acquisition, or bankruptcy, showing real failure risk despite compliance efforts
