Executive Summary
Two small-cap companies, Laser Photonics Corp and Modular Medical, Inc., simultaneously disclosed delisting notices under Item 3.01 on December 31, 2025, signaling a potential year-end purge of non-compliant listings on US exchanges. This clustered event underscores systemic pressures on microcap firms failing continued listing standards, amplifying bearish sentiment and liquidity risks across affected names. Portfolio managers should view this as a red flag for broader small-cap fragility, prompting de-risking from similar profiles amid regulatory scrutiny.
