The latest announcement is out from Interactive Strength Inc ( (TRNR) ).

Interactive Strength Inc. has signed a definitive merger agreement, dated February 18, 2026, to acquire Brooklyn-based Ergatta, a game-based connected fitness company that sells premium rowing machines and runs a high-retention, subscription-driven content platform. Ergatta, which operates an asset-light, cash-generative model, is expected to generate more than $10 million in 2026 revenue with roughly 70% from recurring subscriptions and an EBITDA margin of about 30%.

Under the transaction structure, TRNR will acquire 100% of Ergatta through a mix of cash, debt, stock and performance-linked earn-outs, implying a maximum enterprise value of $19.5 million if earn-out targets are fully met. The deal, expected to close in the first quarter of 2026, is designed to be immediately accretive, increase TRNR’s 2026 pro forma revenue guidance by 50% to over $30 million and deliver an EBITDA multiple of under 5x at the upper 2026 threshold.

Less than 10% of the transaction value will be funded at closing, with the initial cash consideration of $1.8 million financed through TRNR’s existing facilities, and management expects Ergatta to generate more 2026 cashflow than this upfront outlay. To finance equity consideration and management incentives, TRNR will create three new non-voting Series D preferred stock classes that convert into common stock between May 2027 and May 2028.

The merger agreement includes customary representations, covenants and conditions, with closing contingent on standard approvals and execution of subordination agreements that push certain existing lienholders behind new secured obligations. Ergatta’s founders and key executives, including CEO Tom Aulet, have agreed to employment arrangements and are expected to continue leading the business, supporting integration and expansion of Ergatta’s gaming platform across TRNR’s Wattbike and CLMBR brands.

The most recent analyst rating on (TRNR) stock is a Hold with a $0.46 price target. To see the full list of analyst forecasts on Interactive Strength Inc stock, see the TRNR Stock Forecast page.

Spark’s Take on TRNR Stock

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

The score is weighed down primarily by weak financial quality (large losses, heavy cash burn, and sharply higher debt despite rapid revenue growth). Technicals add further pressure due to a pronounced downtrend and negative momentum, while valuation provides limited support because losses make P/E less meaningful and no dividend yield is available.
