THQ Has Been Warned of Nasdaq Stock Delisting

Posted January 31, 2012 by M.H. Williams

THQ, publisher of Saints Row and Darksiders, has been warned that it could be delisted on the Nasdaq stock exchange.  The company’s stock, which closed yesterday at $0.70 and is sitting at $0.67 at the time of this writing, needs to sit above $1.00 for ten consecutive days to remain listed.  THQ has been given a deadline of July 23 to make it happen.

The company dropped below the Nasdaq threshold on December 8, 2011, continuing a slow decline from a high of $36.16 per share in April of 2007.

This news follows THQ's recent realignment.  Over the course of 2011, the company cut a number of underperforming teams and products, including the Red Faction franchise, the MX vs. ATV franchise, Homefront developer Kaos Studios, and much of the uDraw team.  Not a good year for THQ at all.
