You might not have noticed the buy or sell button on the detail page for a stock for the following reasons:
- We oppose foreign stocks, which this is. Visit Assets Available on Robinhood for criteria on acceptable equities. You will be able to sell a stock you possess in the market if it delists, but you won’t be able to buy more shares.
- It is an OTC stock or a warrant, which Robinhood typically does not support.
- A corporate action is being taken on the stock. As soon as the corporate action is complete, the shares will once again be traded.
- For a number of reasons, stocks may not be searched or may be marked as untradable.
- Trading has stopped on the exchange.
Another reason you are unable to buy or sell a stock can be that the stock does not trade in the market after being delisted from the major exchanges. The reasons can be:
- A corporate action is being carried out on security.
- It’s a foreign security, which we don’t support.
