Planet Green Holdings Corp. (PLAG) received a deficiency notice from the New York Stock Exchange on December 8 2025, after the exchange determined the company’s stockholders’ equity of $573,528 fell far short of the $2.5 million minimum required for continued listing. The notice also cited losses in each of the company’s five most recent fiscal years, a working‑capital deficit of $6.69 million, negative cash flow from operations, a current ratio of 0.56, and a negative earnings‑per‑share of –$1.45 for the trailing twelve months. Altman’s Z‑Score of –20.38 and a prior audit opinion that flagged a going‑concern warning further underscore the depth of PLAG’s liquidity and solvency problems.
Planet Green’s cure period extends 18 months, giving the company until June 8 2027 to regain compliance. Management must submit a detailed plan by January 7 2026 outlining how it will restore the required equity level or market value. Shares will remain listed and tradable during this period, but the company faces the risk of delisting if it fails to meet the deadline.
The deficiency notice forces PLAG to confront a stark choice: raise additional capital, restructure operations, or sell assets to shore up equity. The company’s diversified portfolio—consumer products, chemical products, and online advertising—has not insulated it from sustained losses, and the lack of a positive operating margin signals that cost pressures and weak demand are pervasive across all segments. Without a credible turnaround plan, the company’s ability to access capital markets and maintain investor confidence will deteriorate further.
While the company has not yet disclosed a segment‑level breakdown of losses, the fact that all three business lines are included in the five‑year loss statement suggests that the financial distress is company‑wide rather than isolated to a single division. Management’s absence of a public commentary on the notice means investors must rely on the financial metrics and the NYSE’s formal requirements to gauge the severity of the situation.
The NYSE’s action signals heightened regulatory scrutiny and a clear warning that PLAG’s continued listing is contingent on rapid financial improvement. Investors and analysts will be watching the company’s compliance plan and any subsequent filings for indications that PLAG can reverse its negative trajectory and restore the required equity threshold before the June 2027 deadline.
