Halt-by-Halt Summary
The most notable halt of the session was BYND, which was paused under a T1 news-pending halt at 7:50 PM ET, indicating material news was expected before trading could resume. This was one of only two T1 halts today, the other being HAO, both issued at the same time. The remaining 40 halts were primarily LULD volatility pauses, with FGI experiencing the most repeated halts (seven separate pauses) during the day.
What Is an LULD Halt?
A Limit Up-Limit Down halt pauses trading when a stock's price moves more than a defined percentage away from its recent five-minute average. The bands are 5% for most large-cap S&P 500 names, 10% for smaller stocks, and 20% for stocks under $3. Most LULD halts last five minutes.
What Does a T1 Halt Mean?
A T1 halt is a regulatory pause pending the release of material news. It has no fixed duration and resumes when the exchange determines an orderly market can be maintained.
Halt Code Reference
| Code | Name | Description |
|---|---|---|
| T1 | News pending | Halt pending the release of material news |
| T2 | News released | Halt after news has been released, awaiting trading resumption |
| T12 | Additional information requested | Exchange requests additional information from the company |
| M / LUDP | LULD volatility halt | Limit-up/limit-down pause triggered by rapid price movement |
| H10 / H11 | Regulatory / SEC | Regulatory halt imposed by the SEC or exchange |
| T6 | Extraordinary market activity | Halt due to unusual market conditions or order imbalances |
