PSQ Holdings ( (PSQH) ) just unveiled an update.

On January 27, 2026, PublicSquare founder Michael Seifert resigned as president, chief executive officer and board member, triggering an automatic conversion of his high-vote Class C shares into Class A shares on February 27, 2026, and ending his majority voting control of the company. As a result, PSQ Holdings will lose its “controlled company” status under NYSE rules, forcing it to meet stricter corporate governance requirements, including a majority-independent board and fully independent nominating and compensation committees within specified deadlines or risk potential NYSE delisting. The board appointed former Credova CEO and PublicSquare chairman and chief strategy officer Dusty Wunderlich as chief executive officer effective January 27, 2026, reduced the board size from ten to nine directors, and positioned the leadership change as a key step in the company’s ongoing shift toward its core fintech businesses in credit and payments, aimed at improving cash flow efficiency, stability and long-term profitability.

The most recent analyst rating on (PSQH) stock is a Hold with a $0.90 price target. To see the full list of analyst forecasts on PSQ Holdings stock, see the PSQH Stock Forecast page.

Spark’s Take on PSQH Stock

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

Overall score reflects weak financial performance and bearish technicals (declining revenue, losses, high leverage, negative cash flow, and price below key moving averages). These are partially offset by a more constructive earnings-call outlook, including stronger fintech-driven growth and reaffirmed forward revenue guidance, but profitability and margin pressure remain key risks.
