JSE Restores Trading in Atlantic Hardware Shares After Overdue Audited Accounts Are Filed

The Jamaica Stock Exchange (JSE) has ended its halt on share dealings in Atlantic Hardware & Plumbing Company (AHPC), a Junior Market-listed business operating from 105–107 Marcus Garvey Drive in Kingston.

Activity in AHPC stock resumed on Monday, July 6, about one week after the exchange stopped trading in the company's shares. The JSE had also placed a similar freeze on another Junior Market issuer, Kintyre Holdings (Ja).

In a notice issued Monday, the exchange said it was immediately removing the AHPC suspension under Junior Market Rule Appendix 2, Part 4(2)(e). Atlantic Hardware has now turned in its audited financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2025. Those accounts were originally required by March 31, 2026.

Both AHPC and Kintyre were halted because their audited reports had not reached the exchange within the period set out in the same rule. When the suspensions took effect, each filing was 93 days late. The rule states that "companies with audited financial statements which are ninety (90) days overdue, shall have trading in their shares suspended until the reports are submitted to the Exchange."

Trading in Kintyre Holdings shares is still paused. Its audited financial statement for December 31, 2025 has not yet been submitted to the JSE.
