At close

2026-06-02

Current thesis

The bull case is that the Connectivity sale closes on planned terms, capital is redeployed accretively, and the remaining portfolio stabilizes despite the weak Technology & Shopping quarter. Strength in Gaming & Entertainment, Health & Wellness, and Cybersecurity & Martech provides some evidence that the remaining asset base is not uniformly deteriorating.

What can break

Continuing-operations profitability weakened sharply in Q1 2026, with operating income down to $2.9 million and operating margin down to 1.1%, showing limited cushion if softer ad-linked categories persist. [#PR-2026-05-07]
