OceanPal Faces Nasdaq Delisting Threat Over Bid-Price Breach, Seeks Hearing to Preserve Listing

Meet Samuel – Your Personal Investing Prophet

OceanPal Inc ( (SVRN) ) has provided an update.

On March 12, 2026, OceanPal Inc. received a Nasdaq staff determination to delist its common shares from the Nasdaq Capital Market after the stock failed to meet the $1.00 minimum bid price for 30 consecutive business days. Because OceanPal executed a 1-for-25 reverse stock split on August 25, 2025, the company is not eligible for the usual compliance grace period, intensifying pressure on its listing status and investor sentiment.

The company said on March 13, 2026 that it intends to request a hearing before an independent Nasdaq panel, a move that will automatically stay any suspension or delisting action while the case is reviewed. During this process, OceanPal’s shares will continue trading under the ticker SVRN, and the board is evaluating capital markets transactions and other corporate actions to regain compliance with the minimum bid price requirement.

OceanPal has filed the required Form 6-K and corresponding public disclosure in line with Nasdaq rules, signaling the formal start of a process that could determine whether the stock remains on a major U.S. exchange. The outcome of the hearing and any subsequent compliance plan will be closely watched by shareholders, given the potential implications for liquidity, access to capital and the company’s broader strategic initiatives.

The most recent analyst rating on (SVRN) stock is a Hold with a $0.91 price target. To see the full list of analyst forecasts on OceanPal Inc stock, see the SVRN Stock Forecast page.

Spark’s Take on SVRN Stock

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

The score is held down primarily by sharply weakened profitability and significant 2024 cash burn, alongside bearish technical momentum (price below key moving averages and negative MACD). A debt-free balance sheet provides some stability, while valuation is difficult to assess due to losses and no dividend data.
