New York, Jan 28, 2026, 09:00 (EST) — Premarket
Shares of Webuy Global Ltd jumped 13.9% in premarket trading Wednesday, hitting $1.64 after closing Tuesday at $1.44. The microcap company is valued near $2.5 million and has seen its stock fluctuate between $1.23 and $28.85 over the past 52 weeks, based on pricing data. (StockAnalysis)
The early jump happens amid Nasdaq compliance concerns. On Jan. 9, Webuy disclosed it received a notice for falling short of Nasdaq Capital Market’s $2.5 million minimum stockholders’ equity rule — a key measure of net assets on the balance sheet. The company reported just $364,584 in stockholders’ equity as of June 30, 2025. It now has until Feb. 19 to submit a remediation plan. If Nasdaq accepts, the firm could get up to 180 days to regain compliance. (GlobeNewswire)
Traders aren’t just worried about the deadline itself. The bigger concern is the stock—a small one prone to sharp gaps on thin liquidity. Any stumble with its listing status could disrupt access to capital and daily trading.
Webuy runs an e-commerce platform centered on groceries and travel services across Singapore and Indonesia, with CEO Bin Xue at the helm, according to StockAnalysis’ company profile. The latest SEC filing revealed a Schedule 13G dated Jan. 20, while the most recent press release on that feed came out Jan. 12. (StockAnalysis)
The stock was volatile ahead of Wednesday’s early jump. It dropped 4.7% on Monday, ending at $1.43, then edged up 0.7% on Tuesday. Price-history data showed Tuesday’s trading range was about $1.37 to $1.54. (StockAnalysis)
On Jan. 20, Guodong Xue disclosed beneficial ownership of 391,357 Class A shares, roughly 17.3% of the class, in a Schedule 13G filing. This form is usually filed by investors surpassing the 5% mark who assert their stake is passive and not intended to influence control. (SEC)
Investors will be closely tracking if the premarket gains stick as regular trading kicks off and liquidity thickens. Given the stock’s outsized swings for its size, any new filings or company news could pack extra punch.
The downside risk is evident. Webuy acknowledged there’s no guarantee its compliance plan will be approved or that it will restore and maintain compliance with the Nasdaq rule. (Stock Titan)
Broader markets held steady: Nasdaq 100 futures climbed roughly 0.7% in premarket action, with S&P 500 futures edging up a bit, according to market data. (StockAnalysis)
Feb. 19 marks a key date as Webuy must submit its Nasdaq compliance plan. Traders will also keep an eye on whether the early gains on Wednesday hold up after the 9:30 a.m. opening bell.
