Hall Chadwick Stock Is Stuck Near $10 — The REEcycle Deal Is the Real Test

Hall Chadwick Acquisition Corp. shares were little changed in thin Nasdaq trade on Wednesday after a quarterly filing showed first-quarter profit came from interest on cash raised in its IPO, not from an operating business. The Class A shares, ticker HCAC, were quoted at $10.01, up 1 cent from the previous close, with a $10.06 intraday high and $10.01 low in the latest available market data. The stock’s calm move fits the usual pattern for a special purpose acquisition company, or SPAC, before a merger closes: investors tend to trade it close to the cash it holds, unless a deal changes the risk.

Virax Biolabs Group heads into the Memorial Day break with a Nasdaq listing fix in front of investors: a June 5 shareholder vote on a reverse share consolidation after another week of heavy, uneven trading in the micro-cap diagnostics stock. The plan would combine every 10 to 30 shares into one share, a move usually meant to lift the per-share price without changing an investor’s proportional stake. The timing is tight. Virax said in its May 22 filing that Nasdaq gave it until July 11 to regain compliance with the exchange’s $1 minimum bid rule, meaning the shares must close at or above $1 for at least 10 straight business days.

Astera Labs Hits Record High Ahead of Next Week

Astera Labs finished the week on a high, with shares up 3.04% Friday to close at a record $306.88. That’s a gain of roughly 32% from last Friday.

KRRO-110 made the right protein in patients, but levels missed Korro’s target after the first dose.
