Beneficient receives additional Nasdaq delisting notice over filing delay

DALLAS - Beneficient (NASDAQ:BENF), currently trading at $0.34 with a market capitalization of $2.71 million, announced Friday that it received an additional delisting notice from Nasdaq on August 18 due to delayed filing of its quarterly report for the period ended June 30, 2025.

This notification marks the second delisting basis for the technology-enabled alternative asset platform, following a previous notice regarding non-compliance with the $1.00 minimum bid price requirement and delayed filing of its annual report for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2025. According to InvestingPro data, the company’s financial health score stands at a weak 1.6, with current assets covering just 3% of short-term obligations.

The company has requested a hearing before the Nasdaq Hearings Panel where it plans to present its compliance strategy and seek an extension to meet listing requirements. Beneficient stated it is taking "definitive steps" to address the compliance issues, though it acknowledged there is no guarantee the Panel will approve its continued listing. The stock has lost 88% of its value over the past year, with InvestingPro analysis revealing 12 additional key insights about the company’s financial situation.
