ScanTech AI faces Nasdaq non-compliance issues

ATLANTA – ScanTech AI Systems Inc. (NASDAQ:STAI), a developer of advanced security screening technologies with a current market capitalization of $23.4 million, is currently not in compliance with two Nasdaq Listing Rules, according to recent notifications from The Nasdaq Stock Market LLC. InvestingPro analysis indicates the stock is trading near its 52-week low of $0.90, having declined over 90% year-to-date. The company, which specializes in non-intrusive ’fixed-gantry’ CT screening technology, received the first notice on May 22, 2025, due to its failure to file the Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the period ended March 31, 2025, in a timely manner. This non-compliance relates to Nasdaq Listing Rule 5250(c)(1).

The second notice, received on May 27, 2025, indicated that ScanTech AI does not meet the Nasdaq Listing Rule 5450(b)(2)(A), which requires a minimum market value of listed securities of $50 million. The company has been given 180 calendar days, or until November 24, 2025, to regain compliance with this rule. According to InvestingPro data, the company’s financial health score is rated as WEAK, with significant debt burden and rapid cash burn being key concerns. InvestingPro subscribers have access to 15 additional key insights about STAI’s financial position.

Neither of these notices affects the immediate listing of ScanTech AI’s common stock on the Nasdaq Global Market. The company plans to file the overdue Quarterly Report promptly and, if necessary, will submit a plan to regain compliance with the Nasdaq’s requirements. If the plan is accepted, Nasdaq may grant an extension of up to 180 calendar days from the report’s original due date, or until November 17, 2025, for ScanTech AI to comply with the filing requirements. Should the plan be rejected, ScanTech AI would be able to appeal the decision before a Nasdaq Hearings Panel.

ScanTech AI has the option to transfer its listing to The Nasdaq Capital Market if it can satisfy the continued listing requirements of that exchange.

The company’s proprietary technology, which uses artificial intelligence and machine learning, is designed to detect hazardous materials and contraband efficiently. ScanTech AI’s products are intended for high-security environments such as airports, seaports, borders, and various government and commercial facilities. With negative EBITDA of $8.89 million and gross profit margins of 17.35%, the company faces significant financial challenges in commercializing its technology.
