Recently there was news about how US government might delist Chinese companies. I was wondering since this is not like delist by going private, nor by government involvement (nationalizing). What would happen to your shares if the company actually got delisted on the NYSE?

My assumption is that the stock would still be available just not in the U.S. but your share would got wipeout or liquidated if this happens?

Keep in mind, that this is a hypothetical situation at this point, raised by the Trump Administration as a possibility.

A Reuters article by John Ruwitch and Alun John explains what it could mean. This type of move is essentially unprecedented, but they offers a couple of possibilities for how it might be done:

  • They could seek funding from elsewhere and buy out the shares from the stockholders.

  • They could become listed on another exchange (perhaps London or Hong Kong) and offer shares of new stock in exchange for the old stock.
