Trading Halts Today: August 26, 2026 — 33 Stocks Halted (LULD & T1)

TL;DR: As of 9:45 PM ET on August 26, 2026, Tapeboard tracked 33 trading halts during the session. The most recent was IMCC, halted under a T1 code (News pending) at 7:50 PM ET.

Tapeboard recorded 33 trading halts on August 26, 2026: 23 LULD/volatility halts, 8 T1 news-pending halts, and 2 other regulatory halts (T12, additional information requested). The most newsworthy cluster came late in the session, when IMCC was halted on a T1 news-pending basis at 7:50 PM ET alongside a broad batch of after-hours regulatory halts. Earlier in the day, repeated LULD halts in small-cap names like XPON (three separate pauses) and OLOX (two pauses) triggered circuit breakers as prices moved outside their limit bands. The evening T1 halt wave — including LGVN, YMT, NVX, IMCC, and four Wheeler Real Estate securities (WHLR, WHLRD, WHLRP, WHLRL) — remained pending as of publication, with no resumption times yet reported by the feed.

Halt-by-Halt Summary

The most notable event of the session was the 7:50 PM ET batch of regulatory halts: eight T1 news-pending halts (LGVN, WHLRD, WHLRP, YMT, NVX, WHLR, WHLRL, IMCC) and two T12 halts (FBRX, ALOT) in which the exchange requested additional information from the issuer. All ten remained halted as of publication with no resumption times reported; T1 and T12 halts have no fixed duration and resume only when the exchange determines an orderly market can be maintained. The four related Wheeler Real Estate securities halting simultaneously suggests a common corporate development, though the feed does not specify the underlying news. Earlier, XPON's three separate LULD halts within the first 50 minutes of trading made it the most frequently paused name of the regular session; these were routine volatility pauses, each lasting roughly five to ten minutes.

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. Learn more in our LULD halt glossary entry.

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. See our T1 halt glossary entry for details.
