An update from Eightco Holdings ( (ORBS) ) is now available.

On January 5, 2026, Eightco Holdings Inc. announced that it had entered into amendments on January 2, 2026, to extend the lock-up period for shares held by its PIPE investors, board and management, effectively delaying the time when these insiders can sell their stock and signaling strong internal confidence in the company’s long-term strategy. The move follows the recent authorization of a share buyback program of up to $125 million and comes as Eightco highlights its sizable Worldcoin holdings, its Infinity by ORBS AI-resistant enterprise authentication platform, and backing from a roster of strategic and institutional investors. The company also plans to step up engagement with the capital markets, including an institutional non-deal roadshow and visibility initiatives such as leadership’s attendance at CES to showcase its technology, potentially reinforcing its positioning in the emerging digital identity and authentication market.

The most recent analyst rating on (ORBS) stock is a Hold with a $1.50 price target. To see the full list of analyst forecasts on Eightco Holdings stock, see the ORBS Stock Forecast page.

Spark’s Take on ORBS Stock

According to Spark, TipRanks’ AI Analyst, ORBS is a Neutral.

The score is held down primarily by weak financial performance (declining revenue, losses, high leverage, and negative operating/free cash flow) and a bearish technical setup (price below major moving averages with negative MACD). Positive corporate updates, including a large share repurchase authorization and partnership/pilot announcements, partially offset these risks but not enough to change the overall profile.
