Tech Pivots and Defense Expansion
Smartbird Inc. (BIRD.US) is targeting an aggressive corporate pivot. The former eco-footwear brand sold its legacy shoe assets for roughly USD 43M in June 2026, shifting focus entirely to AI infrastructure-as-a-service for healthcare and finance.

The company posted Q2 2026 revenue of USD 9.3M, up 62.3% year-over-year, and booked a historic USD 15.1M in orders. A new US Department of Defense intelligence platform contract is expected to generate USD 44M over the next four years.
Skycorp Solar Group Limited (PN.US) is similarly expanding its high-performance computing and solar PV footprint.

FY25 total revenue stood at USD 63.3M.

Logistics and Asset Divestitures
Trans-Pacific logistics demand continues to bolster ocean freight earnings. Matson Inc. (MATX.US) reported Q2 2026 net income of USD 129.4M as total revenue jumped 16.7% to USD 969.4M.

Greek tanker operator Rubico Inc. (RUBI.US) is moving to divest non-core assets. The company exited the superyacht sector to re-deploy capital into its core oil tankers.

Consumer and Proptech Rationalization
The Campbells Company (CPB.US) is preparing to make "tough decisions" regarding its snack portfolio. Despite a 4% year-over-year rise in Q3 net sales, organic growth in the snacks division fell 4%. Executives cited a pullback in consumer demand as the catalyst for the potential portfolio rationalization.
Singapore proptech firm Ohmyhome Limited (OMH.US) executed a deep restructuring, selling its core real estate business for a nominal USD 1 in June 2026 and forgiving USD 19M in subsidiary debt. Despite Q3 brokerage transaction volumes hitting USD 84M, the company was flagged by Nasdaq for failing to meet minimum bid price requirements, prompting a USD 4M registered direct offering.
