The current issue it faces is the price of its stock, which has remained below the $1 minimum for an extended period of time. The company attempted to rectify this with a reverse stock split but failed to keep the stock price up after the split. It has also already used both 180-day extensions to regain compliance. Additionally, it's no longer compliant with the minimum share count rule, which requires at least 500,000 publicly held shares. All of this suggests that Meihua International Medical Technologies stock won't remain on the Nasdaq for much longer. If the delisting does occur, it's unclear what will happen to MHUA stock. It could start to trade on the OTC Markets, but the company hasn't said anything about this yet.
