When a stock can no longer be traded on the exchange
Delisting means a stock stops trading on the exchange. It happens when listing standards are no longer met, but also when a company is acquired or its managers buy it back into private hands. Once decided, the shares trade for a short final window and then cannot be sold on the exchange. What holders receive depends entirely on the reason.
If the final trading window is 10 business days, shares not sold by then can no longer be sold on the exchange.
Japan — In Japan a stock designated for delisting can normally still be traded for about a month.
South Korea — In Korea a stock being delisted can trade for 7 more trading days, with no price limit and a single matched price every 30 minutes (as of 2026).
