MicroVision, Inc. (NASDAQ: MVIS) has regained good standing on the Nasdaq stock exchange after satisfying the exchange's minimum bid price rule, which requires a company's shares to trade at or above $1.00 on a sustained basis. Nasdaq's Listing Qualifications Staff confirmed the matter closed in a written notice the Redmond, Washington company received on August 26, 2026.
The compliance clock started on January 12, 2026, when Nasdaq first notified MicroVision that its share price had fallen below that $1.00 floor. The specific rule at issue, Listing Rule 5550(a)(2), applies to companies on the Nasdaq Capital Market tier and sets a hard floor on where a stock can trade. Fall below it for an extended period and the exchange opens a formal review; satisfy it again and the matter closes, as it did here.
What the filing actually says
MicroVision filed an 8-K, a form companies use to disclose material events to investors between regular earnings reports, attaching the press release as an exhibit. The filing does not specify what mechanism the company used to regain compliance, whether that was a sustained rise in share price, a reverse stock split, or some other path. The source says the matter is now closed. Nothing in the filing speaks to the company's financial results, cash position, or revenue outlook.
Glen DeVos, the company's chief executive officer, said the compliance restoration allows the company to focus on executing its commercial strategy and creating long-term shareholder value. That framing is what the source attributes to him, and it is the whole of what he said in the release.
MicroVision describes itself as a lidar company, meaning it makes sensor systems that measure distance using laser light, with applications across automotive, industrial, and security and defense markets. It operates engineering centers in the United States and Germany.
The date Nasdaq's written notice reached the company was August 26, 2026. The public announcement came five days later, on August 31, 2026, through the 8-K filing.
