Summary
GoPro has formally launched a strategic review process that could result in a sale of the company. The action camera maker engaged Houlihan Lokey as its financial advisor on May 13, 2026, following unsolicited inbound inquiries from parties in defense, consumer, and financial sectors.
CEO and founder Nicholas Woodman publicly stated his belief that GoPro has substantial unrecognized value and expressed full support for exploring a sale to maximize shareholder value, with the Board and management team aligned on the process. For retail shareholders, this represents a potential liquidity event and the possibility of a control premium if a transaction materializes.
However, the company has set no timeline and made no commitments—there is no guarantee any deal will close. The strategic review could also conclude with no transaction if offers don't meet the Board's valuation expectations. Separately, GoPro committed to a new San Mateo headquarters lease starting January 2027, a routine operational decision that suggests the company is maintaining business continuity regardless of the strategic review outcome.
