Nasdaq's New Rules Target Penny Stocks: A Turning Point for the Exchange Nasdaq is facing growing scrutiny for the number of penny stocks trading below $1, with many companies using reverse splits to maintain their listings. To address this, Nasdaq has proposed new rules that could accelerate the delisting process for these risky stocks. The changes, if approved, would limit the time sub-$1 stocks can stay listed and immediately trigger delisting for companies that fall below $1 after a reverse split. This move comes in response to concerns about the integrity of the exchange and the protection of investors. Reverse splits have become increasingly common, especially among companies that went public during the market frenzy of 2020 and 2021. Nasdaq’s proposed rules aim to curb these practices and ensure that only companies with solid financial health remain on the exchange. At Ascent Investor Relations LLC, we’re committed to keeping our clients informed about regulatory changes and their implications. As Nasdaq tightens its standards, we’re here to help you navigate these shifts and make informed decisions in a rapidly evolving market. https://lnkd.in/ejgzUBH7 #Nasdaq #InvestorProtection #MarketRegulation #AscentIR #PennyStocks

U.S. IPO market’s $23.2 billion in year-to-date proceeds exceeds the $19.4 billion raised for all of 2023   The U.S. initial public offering market has raised $23.2 billion in proceeds in the year to date, surpassing the $19.4 billion raised for all of 2023 — with five months still to go.   That’s according to Renaissance Capital, a provider of IPO exchange-traded funds and institutional research, which has counted 82 IPOs in 2024, up about 37% from the same period a year ago.   The data comes after the biggest deal of the year was a success last week, in a positive signal for fall offerings.   https://lnkd.in/eTxrDdJh   #ipo #gopublic #investorrelations #shareholders #ascentIR  Ascent Investor Relations LLC Tina Xiao

Women-Led Banks: Shaping the Future of Finance with Diversity and Innovation   From the first U.S. woman-owned bank opening in the 1800s to Janet Yellen's swearing-in under President Joe Biden as the first woman Secretary of the Treasury of the United States, the road for women in leadership in financial areas has been long and winding. Not all years led forward, and not all obstacles have been overcome. However, the path started by women early on in their communities continues to forge on.   https://lnkd.in/et_kWEG3   #ipo #gopublic #investorrelations #shareholders #ascentIR  Ascent Investor Relations LLC Tina Xiao
