Owlet ( (OWLT) ) has issued an announcement.

Owlet has notified investors that the U.S. District Court for the Central District of California has rescheduled the hearing to consider a proposed settlement of consolidated shareholder derivative litigation, In re Owlet, Inc. Shareholder Derivative Litigation, from February 6, 2026 to February 25, 2026. The underlying derivative actions, initially filed in August and October 2024, allege breaches of fiduciary duty, unjust enrichment, abuse of control, waste of corporate assets and violations of Section 14(a) of the Exchange Act by current and former directors and officers, and were consolidated after related securities class action claims moved toward settlement. Following months of arm’s-length negotiations, document exchanges and settlement proposals through March 2025, the parties reached an agreement in principle on corporate governance and internal control reforms that they say will provide substantial benefits to Owlet and current shareholders, with the upcoming hearing intended to determine whether the settlement terms, including governance reforms and plaintiffs’ fees and service awards, are fair, reasonable and adequate, which could bring greater governance stability but leaves no monetary recovery for individual stockholders.

The most recent analyst rating on (OWLT) stock is a Hold with a $12.50 price target. To see the full list of analyst forecasts on Owlet stock, see the OWLT Stock Forecast page.
