Why Is Sono (SEV) Stock Down 22% Today?

Sono (NASDAQ:SEV) stock is taking a beating on Wednesday after the solar mobility solutions company was hit with a delisting notice.

This notice comes from the Nasdaq’s Listing Qualifications Department. It will see trading of the company’s stock halted on July 21, 2023, before its shares are delisted when markets open that day.

There are a few reasons for the delisting notice. The first is the company’s recent application to the insolvency court of Munich, Germany. That brings about concerns about the company’s ability to meet listing requirements through the insolvency court procedures.

The second reason for the delisting notice is a late Form 20-F filing. The company has yet to file its form for the year ended Dec. 31, 2022. That form was due on May 1, 2023, and its filing is required to remain on the Nasdaq Exchange.

Adding to this, SEV stock has continued to trade below the $1 minimum required to remain on the Nasdaq. Also, the company’s board of directors is now only made up of one person, which is another compliance issue with the exchange.

What’s Next for SEV Stock

Sono says that it is seeking a meeting with the Nasdaq Hearings Panel to appeal the delisting decision. Considering the multiple compliance issues, it may be hard for the company to convince Nasdaq to delay its delisting.

SEV stock is down 21.9% as of Wednesday morning. With that comes some 1.4 million shares traded, as compared to its daily average of around 6.3 million shares.
