What the filing says
On October 6, 2026, Equus Total Return, Inc. received notice from NYSE that its stock price fell below $1.00 average over 30 consecutive trading days, violating Section 802.01C of the NYSE Listed Company Manual. The company has six months to cure the deficiency by achieving at least $1.00 closing price and $1.00 average closing price over a 30-day period in any calendar month, with options including a reverse stock split. No immediate delisting occurs; trading continues subject to other NYSE compliance standards.
Why this rating
Stock price deficiency is existential risk for $8.6M micro-cap; delisting threat could destroy remaining shareholder value and liquidity, though six-month cure period and reverse-split option provide pathways to remediation.
