Nasdaq Deadline Looms After Empro Stock Halted
Empro Group Inc. shares stayed halted on Nasdaq Friday morning. The Malaysian beauty and personal-care company hasn’t traded since it disclosed another Nasdaq filing delinquency last week. Cboe’s U.S. equities halt list listed EMPG halted since 7:50 p.m. ET on Oct. 8, 2025, for “news pending.” The timing is key since the wider Nasdaq market stayed open. Nasdaq’s standard U.S. hours are 9:30 a.m. to 4 p.m. Eastern, and its schedule puts Memorial Day on May 25, not Friday. Empro holders saw the exchange open but that didn’t mean there was liquidity.
