GoPro merges with Starman Optical, pivoting from cameras to AI optics — Sep 1, 2026GoPro announced a definitive merger with Starman Optical valued at $285 million, with GoPro shareholders receiving $1.14 per share and about 10% ownership in the combined company, and roughly $92 million of GoPro's debt repaid at closing. The deal pivots GoPro from consumer cameras to US-made optical transceivers for AI data centers, defense, and robotics, leveraging Starman's photonics and aiming to onshore manufacturing in the US, with closing targeted by year-end 2026.

Derek Foss Onshoring optics manufacturing for AI and defense makes sense long term, but calling it GoPro at this point feels like a stretch.
