SEC suspends trading of Empro Group shares amid investigation into social media activity

Trading in the securities of Empro Group Inc. (NASDAQ:EMPG) has been suspended by the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission from 4:00 a.m. ET on Wednesday through 11:59 p.m. ET on October 22, 2025. According to a statement in a press release, the SEC issued the suspension due to concerns about potential manipulation of the company’s shares, citing recommendations made by unknown individuals on social media that appeared intended to artificially increase the price and trading volume of EMPG securities.

Empro Group reported that on Friday it received an information request from The Nasdaq Stock Market LLC for certain documents and information. The company stated it has not participated in any price manipulation activity and intends to cooperate fully with the SEC, Nasdaq, and other regulatory authorities.

According to Empro Group, its ongoing business operations remain normal and there has been no material change to its business operations or financial position as of the date of the report.

This information is based on a press release statement contained in the company’s recent SEC filing.
