Cognition Therapeutics received a Nasdaq deficiency letter on November 3, 2026, because its common stock has closed below the $1.00 minimum bid price for 30 consecutive business days. The company has until May 3, 2027, to regain compliance, and the letter has no immediate effect on its listing. Third-quarter results showed a smaller net loss than a year earlier, but the company reported $31.5 million in cash as of September 30, 2026.

3M agreed on November 3, 2026 to a settlement intended to resolve most PFAS-related personal injury claims in the AFFF multidistrict litigation. The company will contribute a nominal $7.35 billion from 2026 through 2034, with a present value of $5.8 billion, and will record that amount as a pre-tax charge in the fourth quarter of 2026. The company says the charge does not change its previously issued 2026 guidance, and payments depend on claimant participation thresholds.

Cumberland Pharmaceuticals plans to submit a New Drug Application to the FDA for ifetroban as a treatment for cardiomyopathy associated with Duchenne muscular dystrophy, seeking Traditional Approval based on its FIGHT DMD trial and natural history data. The FDA raised concerns that the proposed data package may not be sufficient to show substantial evidence of efficacy and requested additional analysis, and the company states there is no assurance the FDA will accept the filing or approve the drug.
The 12-month Phase 2 FIGHT DMD trial showed a statistically significant 5.4% absolute improvement in left ventricular ejection fraction (p=0.002) versus a control group.
The FDA suggested a Phase 3, randomized, placebo-controlled trial earlier in the review process, and expressed concerns about the sufficiency of the proposed data package at a pre-NDA meeting held this fall.
The FDA granted the company's request for rolling review of the NDA, allowing completed sections to be submitted before the full application.
The planned submission includes safety data from more than 1,400 subjects across approximately 30 clinical studies of ifetroban.
Polar Power, Inc. reported that it believes it has regained compliance with Nasdaq's $2.5 million minimum stockholders' equity requirement, based on a series of convertible note, preferred stock, warrant and equity line transactions. The company estimates pro forma stockholders' equity of approximately $2.9 million, but the figures are preliminary and unaudited, and Nasdaq will keep monitoring compliance, so the company may still face delisting if it does not show compliance at its next periodic report.

SenesTech received a Nasdaq letter on October 20, 2026, saying its stock has closed below $1.00 for 30 consecutive business days, so it no longer meets Nasdaq's minimum bid price requirement. The company has until April 19, 2027 to regain compliance, and the notice has no immediate effect on its listing, but the company says it cannot assure it will regain compliance. In the same release, the company reported preliminary third-quarter revenue of about $1.1 million, the highest in its history.

Nasdaq has not yet confirmed the company's determination, and a Nasdaq Hearings Panel hearing remains scheduled for November 10, 2026. The company's status could still be challenged if it does not evidence compliance when it files its 2026 annual report.

Mannatech told investors it believes it has regained compliance with Nasdaq's $2.5 million minimum stockholders' equity requirement, after a deficiency notice dated April 20, 2026. The claim rests on a pro forma adjustment tied to a share purchase agreement and a tax ruling, and the auditor review and Nasdaq's own view are still pending, so the listing outcome remains uncertain for shareholders.
Stockholders' equity was $(5,223,000) per the 2025 Form 10-K and $(4,970,000) as of June 30, 2026, per the Q2 Form 10-Q, against a $2,500,000 requirement.
Mannatech's share purchase agreement gives it 100% direct ownership of Mannatech Swiss Holdings GmbH, which the company says qualifies distributions for a 5% withholding tax rate.
Nasdaq will keep monitoring; if the 10-K for the year ending December 31, 2026 does not show compliance, the company may face delisting, with a right to appeal to a Nasdaq Hearings Panel.
The Q3 2026 Form 10-Q is expected on or before November 16, 2026, and the pro forma adjustment will be reviewed by the independent auditor.
Netcapital regained compliance with the Nasdaq minimum bid price rule after its closing bid price was at or above $1.00 for 10 consecutive business days, from September 23 through October 6, 2026, and Nasdaq closed the matter. The company engaged Adeptus Partners, LLC to re-audit fiscal years 2022 through 2026 because its previously issued financial statements for fiscal 2022 through 2025 should no longer be relied upon, and it has not finished evaluating the corrections that may be required. The company remains out of compliance with Nasdaq Listing Rule 5250(c)(1) for not filing its late annual and quarterly reports, so listing risk on that matter continues until a plan is accepted.

After the market close on September 25, 2026, a jury awarded $5.7 billion in damages to the plaintiff in Taction Technology, Inc. v. Apple Inc., a case in which Burford has a financial entitlement. Burford says that if the verdict were paid as is, its entitlement would be $1.4 billion, split roughly equally between its balance sheet and its investment funds, but the amount is likely to change in post-trial and appellate proceedings. For shareholders, the verdict is not a final judgment or cash received, and Burford warns it could recover substantially less or incur a total loss.

Frequently asked questions
Which filings get a brief?
Form 8-K filings by companies listed on a US stock exchange (NYSE, Nasdaq, Cboe; not over-the-counter stocks) that report a material event: results (Item 2.02), deals (1.01, 2.01), executive changes (5.02), restructuring (2.05), impairments (2.06), delisting notices (3.01), restatements (4.02), cybersecurity incidents (1.05), bankruptcy (1.03) and Regulation FD or other events (7.01, 8.01). Routine filings such as vote results or exhibits only are skipped.
How is the impact score set?
The AI rates each filing from 1 (routine) to 5 (major, such as a merger, bankruptcy or restatement) based only on what the filing says. It is a reading aid for sorting the day's filings, not a prediction of how the stock will move.
How quickly do briefs appear?
On weekdays the SEC filing feed is checked every 5 minutes from 6 am to 5:45 pm Eastern, when nearly all 8-Ks come in, and every hour after that until 10 pm. Briefs of the 1,000 largest companies follow within minutes; the others usually within the hour, or later the same day when many filings arrive at once.
Which companies are covered?
Every company with shares listed on the NYSE, Nasdaq or Cboe that files 8-Ks, about 4,500 of them. Foreign companies that report on Form 6-K instead are not included. The S&P 1500 only filter above narrows the list to the large, mid and small caps of the S&P Composite 1500.
Are older briefs kept?
Yes. This page shows the last 45 days, but every brief ever published stays online: each has its own page, and each company has an 8-K page listing all of its briefs, newest first, linked from its stock page and from the A-Z list of companies.
