Trading halt

The exchange temporarily blocks trading in a specific stock.
Also known as: Trading suspension

What it is

The exchange halts a stock around material announcements, while it verifies rumors, or when delisting grounds arise.

Common causes

Failing to answer an inquiry disclosure, embezzlement or breach-of-trust allegations, a disclaimer of audit opinion, or procedures such as mergers and splits.

What to keep in mind

A brief procedural halt for a stock split is very different from a months-long suspension during a listing eligibility review. Always read the stated reason.
