Allbirds Pivots to AI Infrastructure

The announcement triggered a massive 582% surge in the company's stock price, though investors remain divided on the long-term viability of the 'Hail Mary' move.

Allbirds has struggled with declining sales and a loss of cultural relevance in the competitive sneaker market.

Market analysts have compared the move to other desperate corporate rebrands, warning that speculative buying often precedes a sharp correction.
