Cheer Holding, Inc. (NASDAQ: CHR) has established a special committee to review two preliminary acquisition proposals. The proposals, dated November 1 and November 4, 2025, come from Zhongsheng Dingxin Investment Fund Management (Beijing) Co., Ltd. and Excel Ally Ventures Limited, respectively. The committee, chaired by Chairman Bing Zhang and including independent directors Zhihong Tan and Yong Li, will retain external advisors to assist in its assessment.
The offers value Cheer Holding at $0.56 per share from Zhongsheng Dingxin and $0.52 per share from Excel Ally, representing a premium of roughly 1,100 % and 1,000 % over the company’s trading price of about $0.0477 on the day of the announcement. The total value of the Excel Ally proposal is estimated at $6.3 million, while the Zhongsheng Dingxin offer would value the company at roughly $7.0 million. The steep premium signals that the acquirers see significant upside in Cheer Holding’s assets and strategic direction.
Cheer Holding’s balance sheet remains strong, with $203.23 million in cash and only $9.30 million in debt as of the trailing twelve months ending June 30, 2025, giving it a net cash position of $193.93 million. Revenue for the same period was $147.13 million, with net income of $21.31 million. However, the company’s revenue growth slowed to a 3.37 % decline in 2024, and earnings fell 14.8 % year‑over‑year. In addition, Cheer Holding received a Nasdaq notification of non‑compliance with listing rules in October 2025, adding regulatory pressure to an already challenging valuation environment.
Strategically, Cheer Holding is pivoting toward artificial intelligence and digital content. The firm has launched CHEERS Telepathy AI 3.0, a platform for portrait photography and content generation, and is developing a “5G+VR+AR+AI shared universe space” aimed at creating a web3.0 ecosystem. These initiatives are likely a key factor attracting the acquisition offers, as they position the company at the intersection of high‑growth AI and emerging digital media markets.
Investor reaction has been cautious. While the premium offers suggest strong upside potential, the company’s steep decline in market value, declining revenue trends, and Nasdaq non‑compliance notice have tempered enthusiasm. Management has not yet issued a statement on the proposals, leaving investors to weigh the strategic benefits against the current financial and regulatory challenges.
