NYSE files to delist Leggett & Platt common stock

The NYSE filed a Form 25 with the SEC to remove Leggett & Platt's common stock from listing on August 27, 2026.

What happened

On August 27, 2026, the New York Stock Exchange filed a Form 25 with the Securities and Exchange Commission to strike Leggett & Platt Inc.'s common stock from listing and registration. Leggett & Platt, headquartered in Carthage, Missouri, makes household furniture and other products.

The filing indicates the exchange acted under a rule provision, but the document does not specify whether the delisting was voluntary by the company or initiated by the exchange. The filing certifies that the exchange has reasonable grounds to believe it meets all requirements for the Form 25, but it does not state a reason for the delisting.

The company's stock closed at $9.20 on the event date, unchanged from the prior day.

What this means

A Form 25 is the notification a securities exchange files with the SEC when a class of securities is removed from listing and registration under Section 12(b) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934. Filing it begins the process of ending the stock's listing on that exchange and its SEC registration obligations.

The form includes checkboxes for different rule provisions that can justify a delisting, but this filing does not indicate which one was used. Because the document does not explain the underlying reason, it is unknown whether the company voluntarily sought delisting or the exchange removed it for noncompliance.

When a Form 25 is filed for common stock, the typical next step is that trading on the exchange ceases, and the company may move to another exchange or an over-the-counter market. However, this filing alone does not confirm what the company will do next.
