Why Is Kubient (KBNT) Stock Down 14% Today?

Kubient (NASDAQ:KBNT) stock is falling hard on Wednesday as investors prepare for the company’s shares to be delisted in the near future.

Kubient is voluntarily delisting its shares after struggling to regain compliance with Nasdaq listing standards. As a result, the company’s stock will be suspended from trading on the exchange starting on Nov. 17.

Following that suspension, Kubient will file a Form 25 with the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) for the delisting of its shares and warrants. The company says that its shares will be delisted no sooner than 10 days after this filing.

Kubient faced several problems with its listing that resulted in this decision. That includes its share price remaining below $1 for too long, as well as filing a timely filing of its Form 10-Q quarterly report. Kubient’s Board decided delisting was the best path forward for the company to avoid costs and other burdens connected to remaining public.
