AquaBounty Technologies Inc (NASDAQ:AQB) saw its stock jump 33% in premarket trading Thursday after the biotechnology company confirmed it has regained compliance with Nasdaq’s minimum bid price rule.
The company received formal confirmation from Nasdaq’s Listing Qualifications Department on September 15, 2025, verifying that AquaBounty now satisfies the minimum bid price requirement under Nasdaq Listing Rule 5550(a)(2). This rule mandates that listed securities maintain a minimum bid of $1.00 per share to remain on the Nasdaq Capital Market.
Earlier in the year, on January 15, 2025, AquaBounty received a deficiency notice when its stock traded below $1.00 for 30 consecutive business days. By meeting the minimum bid price, the company has resolved the issue, alleviating a major regulatory concern.
Achieving compliance marks an important milestone for AquaBounty, allowing the company to focus on its core operations without the immediate risk of delisting from Nasdaq.
