History

Historical Context

In 2001, the Nasdaq Stock Market introduced stricter listing rules, including a minimum bid price of $1, to enhance market integrity. This move aimed to protect investors and ensure companies like Polestar, which closed at 84 cents, could compete with industry leaders like Tesla. Non-compliance with these standards risks delisting, which could undermine investor confidence and market stability.
