What is Yellow-chip company?
A yellow-chip company refers to a publicly traded company whose stock price has fallen below a specific threshold, often considered to be $1 per share. This designation typically indicates a company facing significant financial distress or facing delisting from major stock exchanges.
These companies are characterized by extremely low stock valuations, which can be a consequence of poor financial performance, accumulated debt, operational failures, or adverse market conditions. The term originates from the color of the physical stock certificates that were historically used, with very low-value stocks sometimes having yellow borders.
