Electric vehicle maker Cenntro Electric (NASDAQ:CENN) is in the spotlight today. The automaker reported that Nasdaq informed it that it had broken one of the exchange’s rules. Specifically, CENN stock failed to receive a “closing bid price” of at least $1 per share for 30 consecutive business days.

New Jersey-based Cenntro makes “light and medium-duty commercial [electric] vehicles” for companies.

Cenntro noted that it has six months to comply with Nasdaq’s rule. Many other companies whose stock prices have dropped below $1 for an extended period have adhered to the rule by carrying out a reverse split of their stocks. Reverse splits reduce the total number of shares outstanding, causing the price of each share to surge.

Alternatively, in a scenario that’s significantly less likely to unfold, Cenntro can allow its shares to be delisted from the Nasdaq and move them to an over-the-counter exchange.

The Bottom Line on CENN Stock

Cenntro was acquired by Naked Brand, “a struggling clothing and intimate apparel retailer” in November 2021. Naked, which had formerly been a meme stock, subsequently changed its name to Cenntro, and carried out a 1-for-15 reverse stock split.

Cenntro currently markets several electric vans, an electric “off-road utility task vehicle,” and a small delivery truck that’s designed for urban areas.

On Dec. 21, CENN announced that it had begun shipping two of its EVs to customers in Europe, sparking a big rally in CENN stock. The company plans to exhibit a hydrogen-fueled semi-tractor early next month.

Last quarter, Cenntro reported revenue of $2.5 million, gross profit of $300,000, and an operating loss of $12.1 million.
