Farmmi Receives NASDAQ Notification Regarding Minimum Bid Requirements
Farmmi, Inc. (NASDAQ: FAMI) said Nasdaq notified it on Aug. 11, 2026 that it is not meeting the $1.00 minimum bid price requirement because its Class A share closing bid stayed below $1 for 30 straight business days. Nasdaq granted a 180-day compliance period until Feb. 8, 2027, with possible reverse split option.
How this was made
The 30-second read
Why it matters
Farmmi has 180 calendar days, until Feb 8, 2027, to regain compliance by sustaining a $1.00 closing bid for at least 10 consecutive business days, or by completing a reverse split within the specified window.
Market read
This is a defined listing-compliance catalyst with a time-bound cure period and a reverse-split pathway, which can materially affect trading behavior and risk pricing.
What to watch
The release does not state current bid levels or liquidity trends beyond the 30-day below-$1 condition, so traders should verify whether the stock is already trending toward $1 compliance.
Background
Nasdaq Listing Rule 5550(a)(2) requires a minimum bid price of $1.00; Farmmi received a deficiency notice under Rule 5810(b).
Ticker impact
Farmmi disclosed Nasdaq notified it is not compliant with the $1.00 minimum bid rule after 30 consecutive business days below $1.
Expect elevated volatility and downside risk until the company signals whether it will pursue a reverse split or regains $1 bid compliance.
The filing is a direct listing compliance event with a defined 180-day cure window and explicit reverse-split option, which typically pressures microcap liquidity and sentiment.
Market effects
Microcap listing-compliance headlines can spill into sentiment for other thinly traded Nasdaq small caps, but this is company-specific.
Limited direct regional contagion; the event is driven by Nasdaq listing rules rather than China-specific fundamentals.
Low global relevance; primarily affects US-listed trading liquidity and delisting risk pricing for FAMI.
Counterpoint
If Farmmi can quickly lift the bid above $1 for 10 consecutive business days, the overhang could fade well before any reverse split is needed.
