ContraFect (NASDAQ:CFRX) stock is rising higher on Tuesday as investors await news about its potential delisting from the Nasdaq.
ContraFect last updated investors on Friday about its delisting situation. Basically, the company has until today to file an appeal with the Nasdaq exchange. However, there’s no press release or U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) filing covering that appeal yet.
ContraFect’s Nasdaq delisting saga has to do with its share price staying below $1 for too long. The company has sought ways to increase the price of shares but hasn’t been successful yet.
While the company did outline plans to regain compliance with Nasdaq staff, those plans were rejected. That means the company has to make an appeal to the Nasdaq Hearings Panel to avoid delisting. If it doesn’t do so, CFRX stock is set to be delisted today.
CFRX Stock Movement Today
Today’s gains for CRFX stock come alongside heavy trading of shares. As of this writing, almost 9 million units have changed hands. That’s already above the daily average trading volume of 8.2 million shares.
This doesn’t mean investors really want to dive into the stock, though. It’s likely that this volatility comes from traders pump-and-dumping the shares for profits. That’s a real concern, considering the low price of CFRX and its penny stock status.
CFRX stock is up 20.3% as of Tuesday morning.

On Penny Stocks and Low-Volume Stocks: 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.
