Hey Folks, Jeff Bishop here,
Stock futures are ugly once again, but one stock that surged in after-hours trading has captured my attention…
💥My “tactical trade” idea of the day is VivoPower International (VVPR).
I first alerted this one all the way back in January 2025, and it jumped as high as 27% the day I alerted it.
Historically, the company has focused on its sustainable energy and applied infrastructure businesses — rooted in electric vehicles, solar power, and battery solutions.
Last May, however, it revealed a $121 million private placement with the goal of launching an XRP-focused digital asset treasury strategy.
Then in June, VVPR launched a partnership with Flare to generate yield on its digital assets, “beginning with a benchmarked initial phase of US$100 million.”
And on August 11, VVPR said it had budgeted “to purchase an initial $100 million of privately held Ripple shares … subject to final approval from Ripple’s executive management.”
The idea was to become “the first and only publicly listed company in the United States that provides shareholders with exposure to Ripple shares as well as XRP tokens.”
The XRP price has tanked since then, though, and that has weighed on VVPR’s stock price.
This week, the company made some critical pivots…
On Monday, it revealed it will terminate its at-the-money equity offering agreement.
And after the bell just yesterday, it announced it has completed a definitive agreement with Kweather Co., Ltd, which would result in Kweather “acquiring the economic rights to some of VivoPower’s holdings in Ripple Lab shares, with VivoPower securing 20% of KWeather shares worth $4.3m.”
It added that “The balance of the Ripple Labs shares held by VivoPower will be acquired by Lean Ventures.”
Going forward, “VivoPower will not be acquiring digital assets on its balance sheet and confirms that it has not incurred aggregate unrealized losses on its digital asset positions.”
Instead, the company will “continue to focus its resources on scaling up its data center infrastructure business.”
Investors seem to have liked the news. The stock surged as high as 27% in after-hours trading and is still green in the pre-market as of this writing.
I’m watching VVPR closely today to see where the news takes it.
As mentioned, VVPR historically has been a sustainable-energy solutions company specializing in electric vehicles, solar energy, and battery technology.
To date, it has had operations in the United States, Australia, Canada, the Netherlands, the Philippines, the UAE, and the United Kingdom.
It has operated its solar projects through its subsidiary, Caret LLC (website here).
Initially, Caret was a “vanilla solar development business” but in December 2024, VVPR announced it “will commence Dogecoin mining operations with revenue and profitable cashflow generation flowing from the first week of January 2025.”
It expected the potential to generate annual revenues of up to $25 million, and cash EBITDA of up to $12 million, which it said would be reinvested into its electric vehicle subsidiary, Tembo e-LV.
Last March, the company revealed its intent to spin off Caret through a direct listing on the Nasdaq with an implied market cap of $250 million.
Caret was to “initially focus on cryptocurrency mining, with an emphasis on mining Dogecoin” which it would then convert into Bitcoin at an effective discount.
As of yesterday’s press release, VVPR says Caret is still “in the process of being spun out or divested.”
VVPR’s main focus over the past few years has been on its EV business, Tembo e-LV.
Its offerings include “next generation Electric Utility Vehicle (“EUV”) powertrain conversion kits.”
These kits convert 4×4 LandCruiser and Hilux vehicles to fully-electric powertrains “that are fit for purpose for mining and other industrial applications.”

The company has also developed a supply chain across Asia that allows it to produce its own fully electric OEM pickup utility vehicle, called the Tembo Tusker.
The base model Tusker “has a range of 330 kilometres, as well as a payload capacity of 1 tonne, and an unbraked towing capacity of 750 kilograms.”
Tembo Tusker
VVPR has had a number of deals in the works for Tembo, but the one that’s really taken off has been a proposed business combination of Tembo with the SPAC Cactus Acquisition Corporation.
On December 29, VVPR announced it had filed Form F-4 with the SEC with the goal of making Tembo a separate publicly listed company on Nasdaq.
The deal is pending approval, but the company expects the business combination to close in March 2026.
On December 30, VVPR revealed it had signed an exclusive heads of agreement “to acquire an energized and operational 40MW+ data center infrastructure facility in Norway powered by 100% renewable hydroelectric energy.”
And on January 20, it said it had executed “an agreement to acquire, develop, build, operate, and own an initial 25MW data center facility in the United Arab Emirates,” with the investment expected to close in February 2026 subject to closing conditions.
Two days later, it said it “entered into a definitive agreement to acquire OGDC Pte Ltd (“OGDC”), an AI data center infrastructure developer with an economic interest in strategic powered land across Finland as well as other EU countries.”
Through the deal, VVPR “will secure an economic interest in 291MW of strategic land across Finland, which is expected to be grid-connected within 12 months.”
This looks to be the company’s focus going forward. In yesterday’s press release, the company described itself as “a leading B Corp-certified global developer and owner of powered land and data center infrastructure for AI compute applications.”

Just so you know, what you’re reading is curated content for which we have received a monetary fee (detailed below) to create and distribute. Let’s be clear that investing can be quite the roller coaster as stock prices can have wild swings up and down, so consider those crucial risks before you ever consider trading anything we discuss. Make sure you check out our full disclosure down below for the details on how we were paid, the risks, and why these results aren’t what you’d call “typical.”
Just a quick heads up about this ad you’re reading—as we’ve said, even though we like the company referenced above, and all the facts we discussed above are true to the best of our knowledge, we are running a business here. To distribute this information and help offset the costs of maintaining our large digital audience, in advance of writing the content above, we received fifteen thousand dollars (cash) from VivoPower International for a one day marketing program starting on February 5, 2026.Before this, we received fifty thousand dollars (cash) from Primetime Media for advertising VivoPower International for a two day marketing program starting on November 6, 2025. Additionally, we received fifteen thousand dollars (cash) from Global Alliance Consulting for advertising VivoPower International for a one day marketing program on July 31, 2025. Additionally, we received fifteen thousand dollars (cash) from Global Alliance Consulting for advertising VivoPower International for a one day marketing program on June 12, 2025 and we also received twenty five thousand dollars (cash) from Global Alliance Consulting for advertising VivoPower International for a one day marketing program on January 13, 2025. To date, we have received a total of one hundred twenty thousand dollars for advertising VivoPower International
This was paid by someone else not connected to VivoPower International. It might be obvious, but whoever paid for this might own shares and is likely looking to sell some or all of them at any time after we send out this information, which might affect the stock price. We may also buy or sell shares in the company at some point in the future, although neither Sherwood Ventures nor its owners own any shares of the company at this time. Also, keep in mind that due to the sheer size of our audience, if even a small percentage of people decide they want to buy this stock, it could potentially boost interest enough to hike up those share prices and cause a temporary spike, and the opposite is possible as our program ends, though that is not always the case.
Now, diving right into VivoPower International might sound exciting. But remember, it’s like venturing into the wilderness—be aware that there’s exceptional risk involved in trading. This isn’t small potatoes we’re talking about; you could lose every dime you put in, so always carefully think about what you’re doing. That’s why they call this trading, after all. We’re shining a light on the good stuff about the company here, but it’s on you to do your homework, make your own calls, and determine a plan for your own trading, hopefully with the help of your professional 1nvestment advis0r.
Oh, that brings us to another crucial point—we’re not here to tell you (or even recommend) what you should do with your hard-earned money. We’re simply sharing our non-expert thoughts by highlighting some companies we like that could use some help telling their story to more people. We’re obviously biased in our writing. We’re not here to dig into anything that may be negative about the company; this is advertising, after all! Also, keep in mind that if we make some predictions about the future, these are technically known as “forward-L00king statements” under the securities acts, so take those with a grain of salt. As with all forecasts, they’re not set in stone, often wrong, and we certainly can’t know where the Company’s earnings, business, or share price will be tomorrow or a year from now.
