Empery Digital Adopts Rights Plan, Expands Buyback Program

Empery Digital ( (EMPD) ) has provided an announcement.

On February 3, 2026, Empery Digital’s board adopted a limited-duration shareholder rights plan, effective immediately through February 2, 2027, issuing one preferred share purchase right for each common share outstanding as of February 13, 2026 and setting a 12.5% ownership trigger (20% for certain passive investors) at which acquirers would face significant dilution or an exchange of rights into common stock. The move was explicitly prompted by ATG Capital Opportunities Fund’s rapid accumulation of more than 10% of Empery Digital’s stock in late January 2026 and is intended to prevent any party from gaining effective control without paying an appropriate premium or allowing sufficient time for board deliberation, while preserving the possibility of board-supported “qualifying offers.” In parallel, on February 2, 2026 the board increased the company’s share repurchase authorization by $50 million to a total of $200 million, leaving approximately $102 million available for future buybacks, underscoring management’s focus on capital returns and its view that the shares trade below net asset value, which could enhance earnings per share and support the stock price.

The most recent analyst rating on (EMPD) stock is a Sell with a $4.50 price target. To see the full list of analyst forecasts on Empery Digital stock, see the EMPD Stock Forecast page.

Spark’s Take on EMPD Stock

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

The score is driven down primarily by poor financial performance (losses, negative cash flow, and weak stability) and a bearish technical setup (below key moving averages with negative MACD). Valuation is constrained by negative earnings, while the buyback provides only a modest offset due to being debt-funded.
