Pattern Detected

Recent history shows that clearly positive operational or financial news has not consistently led to sustained gains, with several upbeat updates followed by negative price reactions. Dilutive or corrective actions like the reverse split have coincided with notable downside.

Recent Company History

Over the last six months, BNAI has balanced corporate restructuring with expansion efforts. A planned 1-for-10 reverse stock split on Dec 12, 2025 followed proxy approval, while Latin America growth advanced via a $5,000,000 AI licensing partnership and 35% revenue share with SKYE LATAM. Q2 2025 showed net income of $0.9M driven by debt extinguishment, and management changes included appointing an Interim CEO and a new board member. Today’s Mexico-focused Skye Salud announcement builds on this LATAM strategy and earlier SKYE LATAM agreements.

Market Pulse Summary

This announcement outlines BEN’s move to form Skye Salud, a sovereign, Spanish‑language augmented‑intelligence platform aimed at modernizing healthcare for Mexico’s 130 million residents and addressing chronic disease challenges affecting over 14 million adults with diabetes. It extends the SKYE LATAM relationship seen in prior licensing deals. At the same time, recent SEC filings note continued losses, tight liquidity, and going‑concern language, so the pace of development and commercialization milestones for Skye Salud will be critical to monitor.

Key Terms

multimodal AI technical

"a developer of secure and governed multimodal AI systems for regulated industries"

Multimodal AI is a type of artificial intelligence that can understand and process different kinds of information at the same time, such as images, sounds, and text. It’s like a person who can watch a video, read captions, and listen to music all at once, helping machines better understand complex situations and make smarter decisions. This technology matters because it enables more natural and versatile interactions between humans and computers.

augmented-intelligence technical

"developing a sovereign augmented-intelligence platform intended to support the modernization"

Augmented intelligence is technology designed to enhance human decision-making by providing suggestions, analysis, and automation while keeping a person in control—think of it as a knowledgeable co‑pilot that highlights options and risks rather than replacing the pilot. Investors care because these tools can boost productivity, reduce errors, speed research and cut costs, while also changing competitive advantage, regulatory exposure and capital needs for companies that adopt them.

WILMINGTON, Del. and MEXICO CITY, Dec. 8, 2025 /PRNewswire/ -- Brand Engagement Network, Inc. (Nasdaq: BNAI) ("BEN"), a developer of secure and governed multimodal AI systems for regulated industries, and Skye Inteligencia LATAM ("Skye Inteligencia"), a Latin America-focused AI technology company, today announced the formation of Skye Salud, a newly created Mexican entity that will begin developing a sovereign augmented-intelligence platform intended to support the modernization of healthcare delivery across Mexico.

Mexico's healthcare system serves more than 130 million people.  It faces substantial challenges related to chronic disease management, including over 14 million adults living with diabetes, along with widespread hypertension and cardiovascular conditions. Many facilities rely on paper-based records or fragmented electronic systems, creating gaps in care continuity, documentation and operational efficiency.  Skye Salud has been formed to begin addressing these needs by developing modern, secure augmented-intelligence capabilities tailored to Mexico's clinical environment. 

Skye Salud is in the early development stage and will be built as a secure, Spanish-language native platform designed to integrate with existing systems, support clinical workflows, strengthen documentation, and help improve access to care across Mexico's healthcare institutions. Development work will progress in alignment with regulatory, technical, and institutional requirements.

"Mexico represents a significant market opportunity to support healthcare modernization through secure augmented intelligence," said Tyler Luck, Acting CEO of BEN. "Skye Salud aligns with BEN's strategy in regulated industries and will be developed to support ongoing efforts to strengthen clinical infrastructure."

Additional details on partnerships and deployment plans will be provided in upcoming announcements. Initial launch is expected in the first quarter of 2026, subject to development progress and institutional readiness.
