Naked Brand (NASDAQ:NAKD) stock is on the move Friday as investors push to bring the stock back up to the $1 mark.
That push comes after a couple of new pieces of news from Naked Brand. Let’s dive into it below.
- First off, the company announced yesterday that it has been given a delisting notice from the Nasdaq Exchange.
- This is due to the company not maintaining a share price of at least $1 for 30 consecutive days.
- However, this notification doesn’t mean the stock is about to be delisted soon.
- Instead, the company has 180 days to regain compliance.
- To do this, the shares of NAKD stock have to reach a minimum value of at least $1.
- Next up we have an update about its Extraordinary General Meeting of shareholders last week.
- This meeting was to get a vote from shareholders concerning the divesture of its Bendon brick-and-mortar operations.
- The results from that meeting are in and the company got approval from shareholders to divest the Bendon business.
- To go along with this, the company signed the definitive agreement to divest the business and also completed the transaction.
Justin Davis-Rice, CEO of Naked Brand, said this about the divesture news.
“I strongly believe we did what was best for our shareholders and have now positioned Naked with the necessary capital to drive shareholder value in the coming months and years. We have a strong balance sheet, no debt and an asset-light operating model and we see a very favorable M&A environment in e-commerce businesses around the globe.”
The divesture news and push to $1 have investors in NAKD stock taking to social media to try and rally others. It’s a favorite of retail traders on Reddit and Twitter (NYSE:TWTR).
$NAKD. If we can break that .74 line of resistance, we might have a runner.

With only the rarest exceptions, InvestorPlace does not publish commentary about companies that have a market cap of less than $100 million or trade less than 100,000 shares each day. That’s because these “penny stocks” are frequently the playground for scam artists and market manipulators. If we ever do publish commentary on a low-volume stock that may be affected by our commentary, we demand that InvestorPlace.com’s writers disclose this fact and warn readers of the risks.
