Semilux International Ltd. (SELX) received a Nasdaq Market Value of Listed Securities (MVLS) deficiency notice on January 8 2026, after the company’s MVLS fell below the required $35 million threshold from November 13 to December 30 2025.
The notice gives SELX 180 calendar days—until June 29 2026—to regain compliance by maintaining an MVLS of at least $35 million for ten consecutive business days. Failure to meet this requirement will trigger a delisting determination, potentially removing SELX’s shares from the Nasdaq exchange and forcing a move to over‑the‑counter markets.
Semilux’s listing challenges are not isolated. In November 2025 the company also received a Nasdaq notice for a minimum bid‑price deficiency, and in June 2025 it was cited for a delayed filing of its annual report. The combination of these deficiencies signals ongoing volatility in the company’s market value and regulatory compliance record.
The MVLS decline reflects a combination of a lower share price and a reduction in outstanding shares, both of which have been driven by weaker demand for the company’s optical and 3D‑sensing products used in autonomous driving, intelligent lighting, and unmanned aerial vehicles. The sector has faced heightened competition and supply‑chain constraints, contributing to the drop in market value.
Management has stated that it will actively monitor its MVLS and take all reasonable measures to regain compliance. While no detailed plan has been disclosed, the company has indicated it may consider a reverse stock split, cost‑cutting initiatives, and new product launches, and it has ongoing partnerships with manufacturers such as Foxconn and Pegatron that could help stabilize its valuation.
A delisting would severely limit liquidity, increase borrowing costs, and make it more difficult for Semilux to raise capital. The company’s ability to maintain investor confidence and secure future financing will hinge on its success in meeting the Nasdaq compliance deadline and restoring its MVLS to the required threshold.
