NEW YORK, December 31, 2025, 11:28 ET
- Nasdaq said trading in Platinum Analytics Cayman Limited (PLTS) remained halted, with the reason listed as “not available” as of 10:23 a.m. ET.
- Nasdaq previously halted PLTS in October after an SEC trading suspension and said it was seeking additional information from the company.
- A separate viral Reddit post from Bengaluru sparked debate over late-night noise and shared-rental boundaries.
Nasdaq kept trading in Platinum Analytics Cayman Limited (PLTS) halted on Wednesday, with the reason listed as “not available” as of 10:23 a.m. ET, according to a Reuters market notice. 1
The halt matters because it prevents investors from buying or selling the shares while they wait for clarity, a bigger issue in thin year-end trading when price swings can be sharper once a stock reopens.
Nasdaq normally assigns a code when it pauses trading — including “news pending,” used when material news is expected, and “additional information requested,” which can follow a regulatory review. Its halt code list also includes a “reason not available” designation. 2
Platinum Analytics Cayman listed on Nasdaq in September and provides software services for financial institutions, including a spot foreign-exchange (FX) trading platform, according to company profile data. 3
Nasdaq halted PLTS in October after the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission suspended trading in the stock from Oct. 6 through Oct. 17, the exchange said in an Oct. 18 press release. Nasdaq said the halt was tied to additional information it requested from the company and would remain in place until the request was satisfied. 4
Wednesday’s Reuters notice did not give any further detail on why the reason field was unavailable.
Another recent Nasdaq halt notice carried by Reuters, on Dec. 24, flagged a halt in Omeros (OMER) as “news pending” at 9:41 a.m. ET, highlighting how some halts are labeled more explicitly. 5
A “news pending” halt is meant to give markets time to absorb information that could affect a stock’s price once trading resumes.
In an unrelated online dispute that also spread quickly, a Bengaluru renter’s late-night noise complaint on Reddit drew wide attention after being amplified by local social media, India Today reported on Wednesday. 6
The report said the user was woken around 2:16 a.m. by loud music from a flatmate’s bedroom, asked for the volume to be lowered ahead of work the next morning, and was met with arguments that what happens “in my room” is off-limits for criticism.
The flare-up resonated with many renters who share apartments, where private space can clash with practical issues like noise traveling through thin walls.
