Dallas energy services company Vivakor, Inc. announced Monday it has received approval to uplist its common stock to the Nasdaq Capital Market.
Shares began trading under the ticker symbol “VIVK” effective April 27, 2026, per a company press release.
The move marks a return to the Nasdaq Capital Market after the company satisfied all applicable listing requirements.
“This is a significant milestone for Vivakor and a testament to the dedication and resilience of our team,” said Vivakor Chairman and Chief Executive Officer James Ballengee in the company’s announcement. “Reestablishing our Nasdaq listing reflects the progress we have made in strengthening our balance sheet, streamlining our operations, and refocusing on our core business. We believe this uplisting will enhance our visibility in the capital markets, improve liquidity for our shareholders, and support our continued execution of a disciplined, value-driven strategy.”
Current shareholders do not need to take any action regarding the uplisting. Vivakor, headquartered in Dallas, focuses on crude oil and produced water gathering, storage, transportation, reuse, and remediation services under long-term contracts. The company also operates facilities for the recovery, reuse, and disposal of petroleum byproducts and oilfield waste.
The announcement comes as North Texas continues to attract energy-sector firms that leverage the region’s infrastructure and business climate. Vivakor’s operations span multiple states with a focus on sustainable energy services.
Company officials noted the uplisting follows compliance with Nasdaq standards after a prior period of addressing listing requirements. No additional details on immediate operational changes or financial impacts were released in the statement.
Vivakor’s core mission centers on developing, acquiring, and operating assets in the energy sector. The firm said it remains committed to long-term contracts and expansion of its remediation capabilities.
Investors and market observers can monitor the stock under the new VIVK ticker on the Nasdaq Capital Market starting Monday. The company did not disclose specific targets for share performance or future capital raises in its release.
