NASDAQ Minimum Bid Recovery — Sub-$1 Stock Recovery Program
Enterprise ($4,000/mo) — 90-day program structure
Book a DemoThe problem
A NASDAQ-listed company that closes below $1.00 for 30 consecutive trading days receives a continued-listing deficiency notice and enters a 180-day compliance window (with a possible 180-day extension under certain conditions). For most affected companies, the deficiency notice arrives after 6–12 months of fixable signals — declining algo readability scores, deteriorating sentiment polarity, rising litigious-language density in disclosure, eroding analyst follow-up — that were never surfaced by their existing IR program. Once the notice is received, the standard playbook is to do a reverse stock split, which mechanically restores the bid price but does nothing to the underlying disclosure quality. As a result, the post-split price tends to drift back toward the pre-split implied level over the following quarters. The reverse split solves the listing deficiency but not the underlying market-perception problem.
How AxonIR solves it
AxonIR runs a structured 90-day NASDAQ minimum-bid recovery program designed to restore organic price discovery rather than just executing a mechanical reverse split. The program covers (1) baseline algo readability audit of the last four filings to identify disclosure-language drag, (2) pre-publication scoring of every press release and 8-K during the recovery window with a focus on positive sentiment and forward-looking-statement clarity, (3) IR website audit with GEO/SEO improvements to drive organic search visibility, (4) social sentiment monitoring across Reddit, StockTwits, and X with active narrative response, (5) reverse-stock-split sequencing advisory if a split is ultimately required, including pre-split disclosure-quality push to maximize positive sentiment in the post-split price-discovery window. AxonIR's recovery clients have included multiple sub-$1 NASDAQ names that recovered to compliant pricing without needing a reverse split. The program is priced flat at $4,000/month with a 90-day minimum.

FAQs
Can AxonIR really avoid a reverse stock split?
Sometimes. Companies with strong underlying fundamentals but weak disclosure-language quality have recovered to compliant pricing on disclosure improvement alone. Companies with deteriorating fundamentals will eventually need a reverse split regardless of IR investment.
When should I engage AxonIR — before or after the deficiency notice?
Ideally before. The 6–12 months of pre-notice signals are exactly the period when low-cost disclosure improvements have the most leverage. Once a deficiency notice is received, the recovery window shrinks to 180 days and tactical options narrow.
What if the reverse split is unavoidable?
AxonIR's pre-split disclosure-quality push is calibrated to maximize positive sentiment in the post-split price-discovery window, which materially affects whether the split holds or drifts back toward pre-split levels.
