How to Use the Delisting Risk Score Checker
If you're holding or considering a stock that trades below $1 or has been struggling financially, it helps to check how close it might be to violating an exchange's continued listing standards. This checker uses four factors from Nasdaq Capital Market's continued listing requirements (Nasdaq Listing Rule 5550) — bid price, market value of listed securities, stockholders' equity, and the number of round lot holders — to produce a 0-100 risk score and a simple Low / Moderate / High / Severe rating.
A stock priced under $1.00 for 30 consecutive trading days can trigger a bid price deficiency notice, and low market value or negative stockholders' equity are separate paths to the same kind of notice. Falling short of the minimum public holder count adds further risk. Each flagged factor is listed below your score so you can see exactly which standard is at issue.
Keep in mind that continued listing standards vary by exchange and by market tier — NYSE and Nasdaq Global Market use different thresholds than the Nasdaq Capital Market figures used here — and a company that receives a deficiency notice typically gets a cure period (often 180 days) before any delisting action. Use this score as an early screening signal, not a final verdict, and always check the company's actual exchange notices and SEC filings.
