The SEC has halted trading of several noncompliant companies over the past year as it ramps up efforts to crack down on fraud, such as pump-and-dump schemes, involving microcap companies that are dormant or delinquent in their public disclosures. Microcap firms typically have limited assets and low-priced stock that trades in low volumes.
