JBDI Holdings Limited (NASDAQ: JBDI) received a written notice from Nasdaq’s Listing Qualifications Department on January 7, 2026, stating that the company’s ordinary shares had failed to maintain the required minimum bid price of $1.00 for 30 consecutive business days. The notice, which was made public by the company on January 14, grants JBDI a 180‑day compliance window that ends on July 6, 2026, to restore the bid price or face delisting from the Nasdaq Capital Market.
The notice is a direct consequence of the company’s deteriorating financial performance. For the fiscal year ended May 31, 2025, JBDI reported revenue of $8.45 million, down 10.1% from $9.45 million in FY 2024, and a net loss of $2.7 million versus a $1.0 million loss in the prior year. Gross and operating margins contracted to –32.45% and –32.21%, respectively, reflecting declining sales and rising operating costs in a highly competitive container‑recycling market.
CEO Lim Chwee Poh acknowledged the seriousness of the situation, stating that the company is “committed to improving performance and maintaining its Nasdaq listing.” He highlighted ongoing efforts to streamline operations, reduce costs, and pursue new growth opportunities in the Southeast Asian market, but also noted that the company’s recurring bid‑price deficiencies underscore the need for sustained financial turnaround.
Investors have reacted with concern, citing the company’s repeated compliance failures and weak fundamentals. The market’s negative sentiment is driven by the risk of delisting, the widening net loss, and the persistent negative margins that signal limited pricing power and high operating leverage in a low‑margin industry.
Nasdaq’s recent rule changes, effective late 2024 and early 2025, have tightened the use of reverse stock splits as a compliance tool and shortened the period required to restore the minimum bid price. These changes reduce JBDI’s options for a quick price lift and increase the likelihood that the company will need to pursue substantive operational improvements to regain compliance.
