ナスダック、1株あたり0.10ドル銘柄の上場廃止の加速を提案
ナスダックは、同取引所で取引される低価格銘柄の数を減らすための継続的な取り組みの一環として、株価が0.10ドルを下回る銘柄の上場廃止手続きを迅速化することを目的に、最低入札価格規則の改正を提案しました。特に、ナスダックは、株価が10営業日連続で終値ベースで0.10ドル以下となった銘柄（以下「低価格銘柄」）について、企業がその他の入札価格要件を満たしているかどうかにかかわらず、当該銘柄に対して上場廃止通知を発行し、その取引を停止することを規定する規則5810条および5815条の改正を提案しています。
Nasdaq Proposes To Accelerate The Delisting Of $0.10 Stocks

ナスダック、純利益上場基準に基づく流動性要件の引き上げを提案

Nasdaq Proposes To Increase Liquidity Requirements Under Net Income Listing Standard
On September 3, 2025, Nasdaq proposed amendments to its liquidity listing standards for the Nasdaq Capital Market and Nasdaq Global Market to increase the minimum Market Value of Unrestricted Publicly Held Shares (“MVUPHS”) requirement for those companies listing under the net income standard from $5 million to $15 million. This follows the April rule amendment requiring that MVUPHS can only be satisfied through IPO proceeds and that shares registered for resale may no longer be counted (see HERE). In addition to making it more difficult for small cap companies to complete a Nasdaq IPO, the proposed rule would eliminate the only material distinction and benefit to listing using the net income standard.
