TuHURA Biosciences shares climbed 7.4% on Friday after the company received written confirmation from Nasdaq that it has regained compliance with the exchange's $1.00 minimum bid price requirement. The notice followed an 11-business-day stretch in which the closing bid for TuHURA common stock remained at or above $1.00, covering the period from February 10 through February 25, 2026. The company said it remains focused on enrollment in a Phase 3 accelerated approval trial for IFX-2.0 and on preparing TBS 2025 for a Phase 2 study in relapsed/refractory NPM1 mutated AML, while also advancing preclinical work on antibody drug conjugates.

Key Points

  • TuHURA shares increased 7.4% on Friday after the company said it had regained compliance with Nasdaq's $1.00 minimum bid price requirement.
  • Nasdaq issued written confirmation after TuHURA's common stock maintained a closing bid price of $1.00 or greater for 11 consecutive business days from February 10 through February 25, 2026.
  • The company remains focused on advancing clinical programs - including a Phase 3 accelerated approval trial for IFX-2.0 in front-line Merkel Cell Carcinoma and preparing TBS 2025 for a Phase 2 study in relapsed/refractory NPM1 mutated AML - as well as preclinical work on antibody drug conjugates; impacted sectors include biotechnology, healthcare, and capital markets.

Market reaction

TuHURA Biosciences Inc (NASDAQ:HURA) saw its shares rise 7.4% on Friday after announcing that it had regained compliance with Nasdaq's minimum bid price standard. The company said it received written notice on Wednesday from Nasdaq Stock Market LLC confirming compliance with the $1.00 minimum bid price requirement under Nasdaq Listing Rule 5550 (a)(2).

Nasdaq confirmation and timing

According to the company statement, TuHURA's common stock maintained a closing bid price of $1.00 per share or greater for 11 consecutive business days, covering the period from February 10 through February 25, 2026. That stretch of closing prices satisfied the technical condition required by the listing rule and prompted Nasdaq's written confirmation.

Clinical and development programs

TuHURA is described as a Phase 3 immuno-oncology company focused on therapeutics designed to overcome resistance to cancer immunotherapy. The company is progressing enrollment in its Phase 3 accelerated approval trial for IFX-2.0 in front-line Merkel Cell Carcinoma. In parallel, TuHURA is preparing TBS 2025, a VISTA inhibiting antibody, for the initiation of a Phase 2 study targeting relapsed/refractory NPM1 mutated acute myeloid leukemia (AML).

In addition to its clinical-stage work, TuHURA said it is advancing toward preclinical proof-of-concept for a portfolio of first-in-class immune modulating antibody drug conjugates.

Management comment

Dr. James Bianco, President and CEO of TuHURA Biosciences, commented on the Nasdaq notice: "We are pleased to have regained full compliance with Nasdaq’s listing standards and continue to remain fully focused on advancing our pipeline of assets."

Context for investors

The Nasdaq confirmation restored a technical listing condition tied to the company's share price. TuHURA's public statement emphasizes ongoing clinical execution and preclinical progress as the firm directs attention to its development programs.


Note: This article provides a factual account of TuHURA Biosciences' Nasdaq compliance notice, recent share movement, and program status as reported by the company.

Risks

  • The need to "regain" compliance indicates the company previously did not meet Nasdaq's minimum bid price requirement, which underscores a risk tied to share-price thresholds and continued listing status - impacting investor confidence in capital markets and the biotechnology sector.
  • Enrollment is "progressing" in the Phase 3 accelerated approval trial for IFX-2.0, which implies ongoing clinical and operational risk associated with patient recruitment and trial timelines - affecting biotech development and healthcare investment outcomes.
  • Preclinical proof-of-concept for the company's immune modulating antibody drug conjugates has not yet been achieved, representing scientific and development risk until preclinical milestones are met; this pertains to the biotech and pharmaceutical research sectors.
