Forward Industries Offers All-Stock Deal to Acquire Entire Share Capital of SLMT
FWDI is trading near its 52-week low of $3.62 (13% above the low).
Summary
Forward Industries has made an offer to acquire the entire issued and to be issued share capital of SLMT in an all-stock transaction. This significant corporate action follows FWDI's report of a staggering $868.73 million year-to-date net loss for Q2 2026, largely driven by digital asset declines. The all-stock nature of the proposed acquisition implies potential dilution for current shareholders. This move could represent a major strategic shift or expansion for a company that has been deeply invested in the volatile digital asset space. Traders will need to assess the target company's business and the specific terms of the offer to understand the potential impact on FWDI's financial health and future direction.
