Sunnova faces NYSE compliance issue over late filing

HOUSTON - Sunnova Energy International Inc.

According to InvestingPro data, the company’s stock has declined over 94% year-to-date, with its market capitalization now at approximately $23 million. The NYSE issued a notice to Sunnova for not submitting its Form 10-Q for the quarter ended March 31, 2025, as required by the regulatory deadline.

The NYSE has given Sunnova a six-month period, until November 19, 2025, to file the overdue report and regain compliance with the exchange’s listing standards. The exchange may extend this period by another six months, depending on Sunnova’s specific circumstances. However, the NYSE also reserves the right to initiate delisting procedures if it deems necessary.

Sunnova disclosed in a Form 12b-25 filed on May 12, 2025, that it was unable to file the quarterly report without unreasonable effort or expense, citing ongoing discussions and negotiations related to the company’s and its subsidiaries’ indebtedness. These financial discussions have reportedly diverted management’s attention from completing the necessary disclosures for the Form 10-Q. InvestingPro data reveals the company carries a total debt of $8.5 billion with a concerning debt-to-equity ratio of 4.6x. InvestingPro subscribers have access to 18 additional key insights about Sunnova’s financial health and operational performance. Sunnova has stated its intention to submit the report as soon as it is practicable.

Despite the notice, Sunnova’s securities continue to be listed on the NYSE for the time being. However, there is no guarantee that the company will meet the NYSE’s compliance requirements within the given timeframe. InvestingPro’s Financial Health Score for Sunnova is rated as "WEAK" at 1.38 out of 5, with particularly low scores in profit and cash flow metrics. A comprehensive analysis of these challenges and potential recovery scenarios is available in the exclusive InvestingPro Research Report.
