At a glance (today):

Live price & range: As of 19:48 UTC, MTC last traded around $1.15 after swinging between $0.291 and $1.64 intraday — a 5.6× peak‑to‑trough range. Volume topped 274M shares.
Intraday move: Roughly +271% vs. the open ($0.31) amid repeated momentum spikes.
Backdrop: The surge comes one week after Nasdaq issued a Delisting Determination for sub‑$1 bid price; the company said it intends to appeal. A hearing request (deadline Nov 3) would stay any suspension while the panel decides. ^[1]

What happened on November 5, 2025

MTC turned into one of the day’s biggest movers on U.S. markets, appearing on real‑time “top movers” dashboards and intraday gainers lists as volatility accelerated through the session. ^[2]
Trading continued today on Nasdaq. That’s notable because last week’s delisting notice said trading would be suspended at the open on Nov. 5 unless the company requested a hearing by Nov. 3. Under Nasdaq procedures, a timely hearing request stays the suspension pending a panel decision. (MMTec has not issued a follow‑up confirming it filed the request as of publication.) ^[3]

The backstory: why MTC faces delisting pressure

On Oct. 28, 2025, MMTec disclosed it received a Nasdaq Delisting Determination for failing to meet the $1.00 minimum bid for 30 straight business days. Because the company already executed a 1‑for‑8 reverse split on Dec. 18, 2024, it is not eligible for the usual 180‑day cure period. The release also said MMTec “currently intends to appeal.” ^[4]
Nasdaq’s repost of the same announcement reiterates that—absent an appeal—trading would be suspended at the open on Nov. 5 and a Form 25‑NSE would be filed with the SEC to remove the listing. ^[5]
How a stay works: Nasdaq’s Listing Center explains that requesting a hearing lets a company appeal a delisting determination and stays the suspension while the panel reviews the case. ^[6]

Today’s tape: how extreme was the move?

Range & momentum: Shares printed a $0.291–$1.64 range (more than 5× swing). From the open ($0.31) to the latest trade ($1.15), MTC rose about +271%; from the low, it’s up ~295%.
Liquidity: Volume cleared 274 million shares, far above normal turnover, consistent with high‑volatility micro‑cap episodes.
(All intraday stats from the live quote above at 19:48 UTC.)

Third‑party market monitors also flagged MTC among top intraday movers on Nov. 5, underscoring its visibility across retail trading screens. ^[7]

Why is this happening now?

No new company press release today: As of press time, we found no Nov. 5 company update beyond the Oct. 28 delisting notice. The price action looks technically driven—short‑term momentum and event‑risk positioning ahead of the delisting process—rather than a new fundamental disclosure. ^[8]
Event overhang: Markets are reacting to the binary path: either a stayed suspension while a Nasdaq hearing panel evaluates an appeal, or trading suspension & Form 25 if no stay applies. Rule references and the company’s prior statement about intending to appeal frame this setup. ^[9]

What to watch next

Did MMTec request the hearing on time?
If a request was filed by Nov. 3, trading remains listed pending a panel decision; if not, Nasdaq would suspend trading and proceed to a Form 25‑NSE. Look for a follow‑up 6‑K or press release confirming status. ^[10]
Any panel dates or compliance plan:
Companies sometimes propose additional corporate actions (e.g., restructurings) to regain bid‑price compliance; the Oct. 28 notice did not guarantee success. ^[11]
Trading halts & volatility controls:
Moves of this magnitude often trigger LULD (limit up/limit down) pauses; elevated halt risk can further amplify intraday swings. (General observation; monitor the live quote/halts tape.)

Key risks & reminders

Micro‑cap, event‑driven risk: MTC’s small float and delisting overhang can produce outsized moves in both directions.
Delisting consequences: If ultimately delisted, shares would migrate off‑exchange (e.g., OTC), reducing liquidity and potentially widening spreads; registration withdrawal typically follows ~90 days after a Form 25 filing. ^[12]
Information risk: In fast markets, aggregator dashboards can lag or conflict; rely on the live quote and company filings for definitive updates.

Quick recap of today’s coverage (Nov 5, 2025)

Benzinga “Top Movers” pages repeatedly highlighted MTC among the session’s biggest gainers. ^[13]
ChartMill listed MTC as a top intraday gainer during the Wednesday session. ^[14]
MarketWatch displayed rapid, real‑time price changes intraday as volatility intensified. ^[15]

McDonald's stock rises after US sales beat forecasts as value push fuels growth amid consumer headwinds
November 5, 2025, 6:28 PM EST. McDonald's (MCD) shares climbed as US same-store sales rose 2.5% in the latest quarter, topping Street forecasts of 2.2%, while global comps rose 3.6%. Despite the beat on sales, adjusted earnings per share came in at $3.22, below the $3.32 expected, with revenue of $7.1 billion in line with estimates. The company reiterated its focus on value and affordability, along with menu innovation and marketing to drive traffic, including the return of the Snack Wrap and a deal with US franchisees to lower some combo costs. System-wide sales climbed 6%, and the stock rose intraday. Management warned of ongoing pressure on the low-income consumer, noting a bifurcated market and a need for real income growth to sustain demand.
Prediction markets trim odds of Supreme Court backing Trump's tariffs to about 30%
November 5, 2025, 6:26 PM EST. Traders on prediction markets cut the odds that the Supreme Court will back President Donald Trump's tariffs to about 30% after justices signaled skepticism about the administration's sweeping powers under the International Emergency Economic Powers Act. On Kalshi, contracts betting the court would rule in Trump's favor slipped from roughly 50% to 30%, while a similar contract on Polymarket fell to about 30% from over 40%. The pullback followed questions from justices about the legality of the tariffs and the scope of executive authority, reinforcing market view that the justices may curb the administration's trade powers despite earlier wins in lower courts. A ruling remains uncertain as the court continues arguments.
West African Cocoa Crop Optimism Weighs on Prices; BCOM Inflows Loom
November 5, 2025, 6:22 PM EST. December ICE NY cocoa was down about 3.3% and ICE London cocoa off nearly 4% as traders price in a bumper West Africa crop. Ivory Coast reports indicate trees are healthy and beans drying well, while Ghana pods are developing quickly. The outlook is reinforced by Mondelez's note that Ivory Coast's main crop pod count is 7% above the five-year average, suggesting stronger supply this season. Harvests have just begun, and farmers remain optimistic about quality. The potential boost from a January BCOM index inclusion could attract passive inflows, with Peak Trading Research estimating roughly $1.9 billion of cocoa futures buying over the next 80 days. Demand remains a counterweight, with grindings soft in Asia and Europe, and inventories at multi-month lows in US ports.
Forget Market Timing: The Power of Compounding for Long-Term Wealth
November 5, 2025, 6:20 PM EST. Compound interest is the eighth wonder of the world, and the message is simple: rely on compounding and time in the market rather than trying to time it. Long-term investors can turn small, steady gains into meaningful wealth, as shown by the S&P 500 and Nasdaq histories and examples from Larry Fink and Jim Cramer. From Jan 2000 to 2026, an 8% annualized return with dividends beats cash and money markets, especially after factoring in inflation. Understand real returns vs nominal returns: with 2% inflation, cash yields may be negative in real terms. The key takeaway: stay invested, focus on time in the market and the power of compounding to grow wealth.
