GoPro Stock Soars On Strategic Review, Potential Merger or Sale: What Investors Need To Know - GoPro (NAS
On Monday, GoPro's Board announced it is engaged in a strategic process to review alternatives, including a potential sale or merger, sending GPRO stock to $1.61 in after-hours trading.
The Company has received several "unsolicited inbound strategic inquiries" since announcing its defense and aerospace consulting with Oliver Wyman in April, building on 24 years of developing significant technology and brand assets.
GoPro CFO Brian Tratt said, "In Q1, revenue of $99 million was within guidance." Hardware revenue fell 32.8% year-over-year while Subscription and Service revenue rose 0.1%.
The Board plans to work with independent financial and legal advisors to evaluate opportunities. CEO Woodman said, "There is significant unrealized value in GoPro's technology, IP and brand, value we are committed to realizing on behalf of our shareholders."
No timetable has been set for the review process as the Company explores maximizing shareholder value across various sectors. GoPro CEO Nicholas Wooman said MISSION 1 represents the company's boldest step in professional imaging.
