Nasdaq has required listed companies to maintain a $1 share price since the 1990s, though it suspended the rule during market crashes in 2001, 2008 and 2020. The NYSE has a similar minimum-price rule on its flagship exchange. But the Big Board has far fewer companies trading below $1, because Nasdaq attracts the majority of companies with small market caps, which are more likely to fall below the threshold.
Hundreds of Stocks Have Fallen Below $1. They’re Still Listed on Nasdaq.

I argue that this currency-like quality of The Times’ news articles gave the medium a different kind of opacity than that which is created by political censorship and control. Where the news media work as a politically controlled institution, realities can be systematically misrepresented and news audiences misinformed in a consistent and coherent manner. Where news articles work like a kind of currency, in contrast, they are made and used to achieve diverse objectives within particular transactions and relationships—and consequently misinform their audiences in a vast array of disparate and often unintended manners. __News in these circumstances can come to seem like a medium of texts that do less to serve their ostensible publics than to mediate the private negotiations and relationships of those who are involved in producing them.__ I suggest that more than the conditions of political censorship and control that The Times’ journalists worked under, it was this aspect of the news media that most prompted them to question the worth of their practice and doubt the value of their ideals.
