BARK Receives Notice of Non-Compliance from NYSE for Minimum Stock Price Standard

BARK Inc. received a notice from the New York Stock Exchange (NYSE) for non-compliance with its continued listing standards. The company's average closing price of common stock was below $1.00 per share over a 30-trading-day period. BARK has six months to regain compliance, which can be achieved by meeting the minimum stock price standard.

BARK Inc. (NYSE: BARK), a global omnichannel dog brand, has received a notice from the New York Stock Exchange (NYSE) indicating non-compliance with its continued listing standards. The company's average closing price of common stock fell below $1.00 per share over a 30-trading-day period, triggering a notice on July 10, 2025 [1].

The NYSE has given BARK a six-month window to regain compliance. To achieve this, the company must meet the minimum stock price standard of $1.00 per share and maintain a 30-day average closing price of at least $1.00. BARK is considering various options, including a potential reverse stock split subject to stockholder approval, to meet these requirements [1].

Despite the notice, BARK's business operations and SEC reporting requirements remain unaffected. The company will continue trading on the NYSE during this period.

BARK's stock price has been volatile in recent quarters, with significant fluctuations impacting its compliance status. The company reported mixed performance in its Q4 FY2025 results, with revenue declining 5.0% to $115.4 million but achieving its first full year of positive Adjusted EBITDA at $5.4 million [2].

The company's stock price has been under pressure due to various factors, including reduced marketing spend and tariff impacts. However, BARK maintains a strong cash position of $115.3 million as of Q3 FY2025, having repurchased $2.8 million in shares during the quarter at an average price of $1.69 [3].

BARK's continued efforts to innovate and expand its product offerings, including the launch of BARK Air and the first retail launch of BarkBox at Target, have not yet translated into sustained stock price appreciation. The company's strategic initiatives, such as expanding its subscription box services and omnichannel retail strategy, will be crucial in restoring investor confidence and regaining NYSE compliance.

BARK will need to navigate these challenges effectively to meet the NYSE's compliance requirements within the six-month window. The company's ability to execute on its strategic plans and restore investor confidence will be key to its success.
