Aspire Biopharma to Acquire Automotive Supplier Dura Driver for $30M, Adding $200M+ Revenue
Summary
Aspire Biopharma has signed a definitive agreement to acquire Dura Driver Control Systems, an automotive supplier, for $30 million in cash. This follows a non-binding letter of intent announced on April 15th and an 8-K filed earlier today confirming the $30 million acquisition. Dura Driver generated over $200 million in revenue and $22 million in Adjusted EBITDA in 2025. The acquisition price is roughly four times Aspire's current market capitalization, representing a transformative strategic shift and significant diversification into the industrial sector. The company does not anticipate new equity financing for the transaction, which is a positive given its history of dilutive financing. The transaction is expected to close in Q3 2026.
