ATER

In December 2025, Aterian announced it was exploring strategic alternatives to maximize shareholder value and received a Nasdaq non-compliance notice for its minimum bid price. In March 2026, the company updated on its strategic alternatives process and reported Q4 2025 earnings with an EPS of -$0.97, missing expectations. In April 2026, Aterian agreed to sell its marquee e-commerce brand portfolio to Trademark Global, LLC for $18 million in cash, pending stockholder approval. Separately, Aterian entered a $7 million private placement of convertible preferred stock with David Lazar, who is expected to become CEO and hold approximately 95.13% of the fully diluted share capital. The company's stock price has been highly volatile, declining by 39.00% between May 8, 2025, and May 7, 2026.
