Stock exchanges, such as the New York Stock Exchange (NYSE) and the Nasdaq Stock Market, have the authority to stop trading in a security, which is referred to as a Trading Halt. Reasons for a Trading Halt may vary, such as to allow a company to announce important news or adjust any orders which may have an imbalance between a buyer and a seller for a particular security. It’s a temporary trading suspension, which typically last an hour. However, they can last longer depending on the reason for the halt.

When a trading halt is in effect, open orders may be canceled, and options may be exercised.

Nasdaq provides a list of reason codes, which explain why a particular security may be experiencing a trading halt:
