What does DELIST mean in Scrabble?
verb
technical
To formally withdraw a company's shares from trading on a stock exchange, or, in a broader sense, to take something off an official list.
A company is delisted from a stock exchange when its shares stop officially trading there, whether by its own choice, after a merger, or because it failed to meet listing requirements such as minimum share price or reporting standards. Exchanges also delist securities that break trading rules, cutting off public trading through that market. Outside finance, the same word appears more loosely when a retailer chooses to delist a product from its range, or an authority moves to delist an outdated entry. In every sense, delist marks a formal removal from a recognised list rather than a simple disappearance.
