Nasdaq announced a trading halt for Robot Consulting Co., Ltd. (ticker LAWR) on November 6, 2025, citing a request for additional information from the issuer. The halt removes liquidity for shareholders until the company satisfies Nasdaq’s request, underscoring the exchange’s commitment to market integrity.
The halt follows a prior SEC trading suspension that covered LAWR from October 23 to November 5, 2025. The SEC cited potential manipulation of the company’s stock through social‑media recommendations designed to artificially inflate price and volume. The suspension was intended to prevent further market distortion while the SEC investigated the allegations.
Nasdaq’s request for additional information is aimed at clarifying the company’s compliance with disclosure requirements and verifying the accuracy of its financial statements. While the exchange has not disclosed the exact documents sought, it is common for such requests to include audited financials, internal controls over financial reporting, and evidence that the company has not engaged in manipulative trading practices.
Robot Consulting reported a net loss of $1.69 million for the second half of 2024 and a diluted earnings‑per‑share of –$0.08 over the last twelve months, reflecting ongoing challenges to achieve profitability. Revenue for fiscal 2025 declined 2.53 % year‑over‑year, and the company’s market capitalization stood at $186.41 million as of November 7, 2025. The last reported sale price before the halt was $3.75 per share.
Founded in 2020, Robot Consulting focuses on AI‑driven solutions, most notably its cloud‑based HR management platform “Labor Robot.” The company plans to expand into legal technology and the metaverse, but its recent IPO in July 2025 and lack of profitability have attracted regulatory scrutiny. The trading halt signals that investors and regulators are closely monitoring the company’s disclosures and market conduct, and it may delay the company’s ability to raise capital or execute strategic initiatives until the requested information is provided.
