The rumors about GoPro being up for sale are not new and have been going around at least since 2018:

The Chinese company Xiaomi is considering to purchase GoPro

GoPro is again exploring a potential sale (or merger). On May 11, 2026, GoPro announced that its Board of Directors has authorized a formal review of strategic alternatives, including a possible sale of the company or a merger, to maximize shareholder value, following multiple unsolicited inquiries:

“The Board expects to evaluate a range of strategic alternatives that could include a sale of the company or merger.”

The company has engaged a financial advisor and stated that no decisions have been made and no timetable exists. The move follows years of declining revenue, widening losses, layoffs, and competition from DJI and Insta360.
