Lyra Therapeutics ( (LYRA) ) has issued an announcement.

On February 2, 2026, Lyra Therapeutics disclosed that it had received a Staff Determination Letter from Nasdaq stating that the exchange intends to delist the company’s common stock, citing Lyra’s status as a public shell after suspending development of its lead drug candidate and laying off nearly all staff, as well as its failure to meet the minimum $2.5 million stockholders’ equity requirement. Nasdaq previously granted Lyra an extension to regain compliance but concluded the company did not meet the terms and lacks current operations, and although Lyra has requested a hearing before a Nasdaq Hearings Panel to appeal the decision—which temporarily stays the suspension—there is no assurance its listing will be maintained, underscoring heightened risks for shareholders and uncertainty over the company’s future as a publicly traded entity.

The most recent analyst rating on (LYRA) stock is a Hold with a $2.00 price target. To see the full list of analyst forecasts on Lyra Therapeutics stock, see the LYRA Stock Forecast page.

Spark’s Take on LYRA Stock

According to Spark, TipRanks’ AI Analyst, LYRA is a Neutral.

The score is driven primarily by weak financial performance (minimal revenue, large losses, heavy cash burn, and negative equity) and bearish technicals (price well below key moving averages with negative MACD). A highly negative corporate event (program halt, near-total workforce reduction, leadership changes, and strategic-alternatives process) adds material risk, while valuation metrics offer limited support due to ongoing losses and no dividend.
