TLDR
- Nasdaq granted Datavault AI a second 180-day extension, giving it until February 22, 2027, to get its stock price back above $1.00
- DVLT currently trades at $0.31, needing to close at or above $1.00 for 10 consecutive trading days to regain compliance
- A reverse stock split is being considered as one option to cure the deficiency
- Last week, Datavault completed its acquisition of NYIAX, adding blockchain settlement capabilities and four U.S. patents
- Analyst Barry Sine has a Buy rating and $2 price target on DVLT, implying roughly 546% upside
Datavault AI (DVLT) has been handed a lifeline by Nasdaq, getting another six months to pull its stock price out of penny-stock territory or face delisting.
The company received an additional 180-day compliance period on August 25, extending its deadline to February 22, 2027. Datavault had already burned through its first 180-day window without getting DVLT above the required $1.00 minimum bid price.
The stock currently sits at $0.31. To satisfy Nasdaq, it needs to close at $1.00 or higher for at least ten consecutive trading days before the February deadline. If that does not happen, Nasdaq will issue a delisting notice.
Datavault is not ruling out a reverse stock split to bridge that gap. Management flagged the option in its filing, though the company noted there is no guarantee any action taken will be enough to satisfy Nasdaq’s requirements.
Acquisition and Partnership Activity
While the compliance clock ticks, Datavault has been busy on the deal front. Last week, the company wrapped up its acquisition of NYIAX, picking up exchange infrastructure, blockchain settlement capabilities, and four issued U.S. patents.
Management plans to use that infrastructure to run specialized marketplaces covering critical minerals, political advertising, athlete NIL rights, healthcare data, and intellectual property.
In July, Fiserv signed on as the exclusive embedded financial-services and payments provider for Datavault’s exchanges, including a planned NIL Exchange. The company is also working with Available Infrastructure on its SanQtum edge-computing network, with early deployments planned for New York and Philadelphia.
CEO Nathaniel Bradley has pointed to the second half of 2026 as the period where those investments need to start turning into real revenue.
Analyst View
Litchfield Hills analyst Barry Sine is one of the few voices on Wall Street with a published view on DVLT. He carries a Buy rating and a $2 price target, which works out to around 546% upside from where the stock closed Tuesday.
Sine has called Datavault “the best-positioned company globally to capitalize on the emerging tokenization economy,” pointing to its relationships with IBM, Fiserv, CLEAR, and Houlihan Lokey as commercial pathways.
He also sees longer-term value well beyond his $2 target, suggesting a “double-digit share price in 2027” is possible if management executes on exchange launches and revenue milestones.
Sine also flagged a potential spinoff of Datavault’s Acoustic Science operations, which would combine WiSA, ADIO, Event Citadel, and API Media into a separate publicly traded entity focused on audio technology and events.
Datavault’s stock ticked up one cent in after-hours trading Tuesday, a 3% move at these price levels, following the Nasdaq extension announcement.
