Allbirds shares soar on AI pivot
The announcement triggered a trading frenzy on the Nasdaq, with shares jumping as high as 876% in a single day.
Allbirds has secured $50 million in new funding to support its transition into AI infrastructure, a move that analysts say could revive the struggling firm's fortunes.
However, an SEC filing revealed that the company will drop its focus on environmental conservation as part of the rebrand.
The pivot has become prime meme fodder on social media, even as Wall Street investors cheer the potential for high-growth returns in the tech space.
