Agere Systems (AGRa), a Lucent Technologies (LU) spinoff, has received a letter warning that the New York Stock Exchange could delist its stock because the company's share price has dipped below minimum required levels. Agere violated the requirement that a stock's average closing price be at least $1 over 30 consecutive days. The company is evaluation alternatives to complying with the NYSE requirement, and has six months to meet the continued listing standard. In October, Agere reported a loss of $885 million, or 54 cents a share, for its fourth quarter, compared with a loss of $3.4 billion, or $2.05 a share, in the July-September period a year ago.
