China chip stocks rally on self-reliance bets, Nvidia scrutiny
PERTH, WA – Globavend Holdings Ltd (NASDAQ:GVH), a company specializing in the arrangement of transportation of freight and cargo with a market capitalization of $10.95 million, has been granted an additional period to meet Nasdaq’s minimum bid price requirement, according to a recent 6-K filing with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission. According to InvestingPro data, the company maintains a strong financial health score and holds more cash than debt on its balance sheet.
The firm, headquartered in Perth, Western Australia, had previously been notified by Nasdaq on August 16, 2024, about its non-compliance with the Minimum Bid Price Rule, as the closing bid price for its ordinary shares had fallen below the $1.00 threshold from July 5, 2024, to August 15, 2024. Initially, Nasdaq provided Globavend Holdings until February 12, 2025, to regain compliance. Despite these challenges, the stock has shown resilience with a significant 49.65% price return over the past six months, trading at $0.75.
On Sunday, Nasdaq informed the company that it would have an additional 180 calendar days, or until August 11, 2025, to meet the minimum bid price criterion. Failure to comply by this extended deadline may lead to delisting, although the company would have the right to appeal to the Nasdaq Listing Qualifications Hearings Panel.
The appeal process may undergo changes as Nasdaq has proposed amendments to its Listing Rules that could eliminate the suspension of trading stay during the appeal process. If approved, Globavend Holdings would have a maximum of 360 days from the initial notice to satisfy the Minimum Bid Price Rule.
Globavend Holdings has stated its intention to actively monitor the bid price for its shares and explore all available options to address the deficiency and regain compliance. However, the company has cautioned that there is no guarantee it will be able to meet Nasdaq’s requirement within the given timeframe.
This development is based on a press release dated February 18, 2025, which was provided as an exhibit to the SEC filing. Investors are keeping a close watch on the company’s efforts to maintain its listing status and meet the exchange’s regulatory standards. The company currently trades at an attractive P/E ratio of 7.67, suggesting potential value opportunity.
