Why it moves the price
Filings are late when the numbers cannot be signed off. It signals an unresolved accounting question and starts an exchange compliance clock running toward delisting.
What separates a good call from a naive one
One short delay with a mundane explanation is survivable. Repeated extensions, especially alongside an auditor change, form the classic sequence that precedes a restatement or a delisting.
