Delisting is the removal of a listed security from a stock exchange. The delisting of a security can be voluntary or involuntary and usually results when a company ceases operations, declares bankruptcy, merges, does not meet listing requirements, or seeks to become private.
Why do companies go delisting?
Firms voluntarily choose to delist when the benefits of being a public company (as discussed above) either do not exist, or are overshadowed by the costs of being public. So it just makes economic sense to not be a public company at all.
Do I lose my money if a stock is delisted?
You don't automatically lose money as an investor, but being delisted carries a stigma and is generally a sign that a company is bankrupt, near-bankrupt, or can't meet the exchange's minimum financial requirements for other reasons. Delisting also tends to prompt institutional investors to not continue to invest.
