VinFast Shares Drop as North Carolina Ups Ante

VinFast Shares Drop as North Carolina Ups Ante

VinFast Auto shares traded lower Friday afternoon, after North Carolina filed a lawsuit against the Vietnamese EV maker related to its delayed U.S. plant. The move adds pressure on VinFast’s already expensive worldwide expansion. VFS was last seen around $3.55, down from Thursday’s close at $3.61, according to market data. The timing is in focus because the lawsuit hit just a day after VinFast came under new scrutiny over its plan to sell off its main manufacturing business in Vietnam and move about $7 billion of debt off its balance sheet. Mehdi Jaouadi, an auto analyst and Singapore-based YCP partner, told Reuters the deal made sense strategically and financially but called out “some red flags” around governance.

Privia Health Up Slightly; 2026 Growth Plan Still Ahead

Privia Health Group shares traded up late Friday morning after the company released results from its annual meeting, a standard update. Investors are watching to see if Privia’s first-quarter growth sticks for the rest of 2026. PRVA was last seen at $22.78, up 0.6%. Stocks climbed ahead of the Memorial Day break. Nasdaq will close on Monday, May 25, for the holiday. Privia’s stock barely moved as the filing left the operating story untouched. The bigger focus is on the value-based care side, where doctors and networks are paid for keeping costs low and outcomes high, not just for visits. The governance news from Friday is less of a driver here.

Grande Group Spikes; IPO Price Weighs on Nasdaq Minicaps

Grande Group Limited moved up to $1.05 on Friday, but volume stayed thin, with only 3,440 shares trading versus its usual 21,210. The company, based in Hong Kong, has a market cap of $26.15 million. GRAN is a micro-cap, and the light volume can lead to outsized swings. Grande shares are still stuck below the $5 IPO price set in July 2025, so the latest move matters for the company. Grande first went public that month. The company reported gross proceeds of about $10.78 million from the offering, before fees and expenses, after the underwriter picked up extra shares.

The shares changed hands at $315.34, up 5.7% as of 1:02 p.m. EDT. That move turned around Thursday's drop and added to one of the bigger rallies in major U.S. chip stocks this year. MarketScreener said the upgrade was out before the bell, with the shares up over 80% year-to-date.

GTEC Trades Higher Even as $1 Rule Stays in Focus

Greenland Technologies Holding Corp. picked up roughly 2.5% Friday afternoon, last trading at $0.58, still short of the $1 threshold Nasdaq says it needs to hit. The investor website listed GTEC at $0.58, up 2.48%, at 1:02 p.m. EDT. Stocks moved even without a clear new company event in the last two days, as U.S. markets traded normally Friday before closing for Memorial Day on Monday, May 25.

Mechanics Bancorp Down After $0.70 Dividend Becomes Effective

Mechanics Bancorp shares slid Friday after the stock went ex-dividend for a $0.70 cash payout. The move lines up with a typical dividend adjustment, rather than signalling any new warning from the company. Class A shares last traded at $14.30, down 4.41%. StockAnalysis listed May 22 as the ex-dividend date. Ex-dividend day matters now because that’s when new buyers lose the right to the most recent payout, and stocks usually drop at the open by about the dividend value. Mechanics said earlier this month it plans to pay $0.70 a share for Class A and $7.00 for Class B on May 28. The record date is May 23 after the close.

Thin trading is having an effect as the market trades through a standard Friday session before the Memorial Day pause. U.S. stock markets ran on normal hours Friday.

Boxlight Stock Moves as BOXL Catches Attention Ahead of Nasdaq Cutoff

Boxlight Corp shares were higher midday Friday, with BOXL trading around $0.83 in a slow session. The stock had finished at $0.792 on Thursday and showed an intraday spread from about $0.80 to $0.85. The microcap education-tech name moved up ahead of a Nasdaq compliance deadline set for early next month and going into the Memorial Day weekend. Trading volume was light, as is often the case with microcaps. Boxlight shares are trading under $1 now, with investors watching its balance sheet, risk of losing its exchange listing, and results from a recent earnings report that raised questions beneath the headline revenue line. U.S. markets were open for a regular session Friday. Nasdaq will close markets for the full Memorial

KNDI Shares Stay Below $1 as Nasdaq Deadline Looms

Kandi Technologies Group Inc. traded at about 72 cents Friday, staying under the $1 mark that has become the focus for the China-based EV and off-road vehicle company. MarketBeat had KNDI at $0.72, off 0.3%, at 11:06 a.m. Eastern. Kandi’s still facing the Nasdaq clock. In its May 8 filing, the company said it had been notified by Nasdaq that KNDI dropped below the exchange’s $1 minimum bid requirement. That rule says a stock’s closing bid, or what buyers are offering, needs to stay at $1 or more.

1RT Acquisition Holds at $10.22 with Crypto-SPAC Deadline Near

1RT Acquisition Corp.'s Class A shares on Nasdaq traded at $10.22 Friday, barely moving. Market data pegged its value close to $220 million, with trading volume still thin. ONCH is quiet, trading near its cash value as investors watch for the next deal. The point is 1RT is a SPAC, so it’s a shell with cash hunting for a deal. The company says it wants a target in digital assets, crypto, blockchain, or fintech. The share price doesn’t reflect operations. It’s mostly about the cash held in trust, the odds of making a deal, and whether the market is up for another crypto-connected listing.

GridAI Drops After Debt Agreement as Traders Watch Warrants

GridAI Technologies Corp. slid 7.8% to $4.25 by late morning Friday, setting a new session low.

Volume was 49,530 at 11:00 a.m. EDT, market cap stood at $26.35 million, according to Google Finance. GridAI is working to clean up its balance sheet.

Larimar Shares Fall, FDA Submission Seen as Next Hurdle

Larimar Therapeutics stock moved lower in late-morning trading Friday as investors watched for a June regulatory update on its top Friedreich’s ataxia treatment. LRMR was down 3.36% to $3.45 at 11:02 a.m. EDT while the market was still open, according to StockAnalysis data. Larimar is aiming to kick off a rolling Biologics License Application for nomlabofusp in June. A BLA is the FDA’s main filing for companies looking to bring a biologic drug to the U.S. market. Accelerated approval means the application could get cleared using a surrogate marker rather than waiting for full results.

IGAC Stock Barely Moves as This Tiny SPAC Tests Investors’ Patience Near $10

Invest Green Acquisition Corporation’s Class A shares were little changed around the $10 level on Friday, leaving the Nasdaq-listed SPAC trading more like a cash proxy than an operating green-energy bet. That matters now because U.S. equities opened firmer before the Memorial Day weekend, while IGAC showed scant trading activity. Robinhood listed the stock at $9.99 with current volume at zero, while Kraken showed $9.97, unchanged, and a $238 million market value. Investing.com put the stock at $9.985, with the same figure for the previous close and day range.

Cass Stock Slips Before Dividend Date as Freight Data Teases a Recovery

Cass Information Systems Inc. shares slipped in thin early trade Friday, giving back a piece of this week’s rise as investors weighed a steady dividend calendar against freight data that still showed weaker shipment volumes. CASS traded at $46.24 at 9:57 a.m. EDT, down 0.57%, after opening at $46.63 and touching $46.80; volume was 2,990 shares, well below Google Finance’s listed average of 76,330. The move matters now because Cass is not just another small bank stock. The St. Louis company provides payment and information-management services for supply-chain, facilities and other operating costs, and is supported by Cass Commercial Bank, leaving the shares exposed to freight activity, payment balances and interest income at the same time.

BKR traded at $65.41 on Nasdaq, down 0.59% as of 9:55 a.m. EDT, Google Finance showed. The Dow, S&P 500, and Nasdaq Composite were all up at that point, so BKR lagged the broad market early.
