The latest announcement is out from ESGL Holdings ( (ESGL) ).

On February 10, 2026, ESGL Holdings reported that a U.S. federal jury in the Southern District of New York delivered a unanimous verdict in favor of De Tomaso Automobili Holdings Limited and its owner, Norman Choi, rejecting claims brought by former CEO Ryan Berris. The jury found Berris held no equity in De Tomaso and no contractual right to the compensation he alleged, including a bespoke limited-edition supercar.

Jurors also sided with De Tomaso on its counterclaims for breach of fiduciary duty and awarded damages, effectively ending the previously disclosed litigation and clearing De Tomaso and Choi of allegations of fraud or dishonesty. With this legal overhang resolved, ESGL said it continues to work toward closing its proposed business combination with De Tomaso, which still depends on Nasdaq approval and customary closing conditions.

The most recent analyst rating on (ESGL) stock is a Hold with a $3.50 price target. To see the full list of analyst forecasts on ESGL Holdings stock, see the ESGL Stock Forecast page.
