Companies bank on stronger 2H as restructuring drives growth

Companies are optimistic about a stronger second half of the year as they implement restructuring efforts, new investments, and strategic acquisitions to boost revenue and profitability. Robo.ai Inc, for instance, has prioritized commercialisation, technology scaling, and supply chain strengthening in its second half of 2026 plans.

The company has completed a series of acquisitions, restructuring exercises, and corporate transactions since the start of the year, which have helped to wind down legacy operations and eliminate historical obligations. CEO Benjamin Zhai highlighted that these asset reorganisations and transactions are expected to positively impact the company's revenue and move shareholders' equity to a positive position.
