Taoping Inc. Gets Nasdaq Warning Over Minimum Bid Price
Taoping Inc. received a Nasdaq deficiency notice for falling below the exchange's minimum bid price requirement.
Taoping Inc., a China-based provider of cloud-enabled smart city, Internet of Things, and intelligent infrastructure technology, disclosed Tuesday that it received a written deficiency notification from Nasdaq on October 13, 2026, citing a failure to meet the exchange's minimum bid price standard.
The Tianjin-headquartered company, which trades on Nasdaq under the ticker TAOP, did not specify in its announcement the exact share price that triggered the warning or the duration for which the stock had traded below the required threshold. Nasdaq's rules generally require listed securities to maintain a closing bid price of at least $1.00 per share over a consecutive 30-business-day period.
