Autozi Internet Technology (Global) Ltd. (NASDAQ: AZI) received two formal notification letters from Nasdaq on January 6 and 7, 2026, confirming that the company’s market value of listed securities (MVLS) has remained below the required $50 million threshold for 30 consecutive trading days. The letters also noted that the 180‑day grace period granted after the July 8, 2025 notice has expired, leaving Autozi with no further time to regain compliance.
The company has already restored compliance with the minimum bid‑price rule, as confirmed by Nasdaq’s January 7 letter, but the MVLS deficiency remains unresolved. Nasdaq has scheduled a hearing for January 22, 2026, to determine whether Autozi will be delisted from the Nasdaq Global Market. A delisting would move the shares to the over‑the‑counter market, sharply reducing liquidity and access to capital.
Autozi’s financial position underscores the severity of the situation. The company reports negative operating cash flow, a current ratio of 0.46, and a market capitalization of roughly $10.6 million—well below the $50 million MVLS requirement. These figures illustrate the company’s limited liquidity and the difficulty of sustaining a market value that meets Nasdaq’s listing standards.
In an effort to strengthen its balance sheet and broaden its customer base, Autozi has entered into a strategic partnership with the China Auto Maintenance Parts Alliance, targeting annual sales of $200 million. The company also secured a $90 million investment from CDIB at $3.50 per share and received a non‑binding proposal for up to $300 million from CDIB Capital. These moves signal management’s intent to address the MVLS shortfall, but the timing and scale of the capital raises may not be sufficient to lift the market value quickly enough to avoid delisting.
Market reaction to the Nasdaq notifications has been mixed. As of January 9, the share price stood at $3.19, reflecting a 24 % gain over the previous week but a 92 % decline over the past year. The volatility underscores investor concern over the company’s regulatory compliance and financial fragility, while the recent partnership and investment announcements have provided a brief lift in sentiment.
Autozi’s management has indicated that it will present a detailed plan at the hearing to restore MVLS compliance, including a focus on cost discipline, revenue growth in high‑margin segments, and accelerated execution of its partnership initiatives. The outcome of the hearing will determine whether the company can remain listed on Nasdaq or will transition to the OTC market, with significant implications for liquidity and future capital‑raising prospects. Investors should closely monitor the hearing and any remedial measures the company proposes to avoid a forced delisting.
