Recent news has often been strategic and positive, with mixed price reactions: some events led to strong gains, while others—also constructive—saw sharp selloffs, indicating inconsistent follow-through on good news.
Over the last two months, VivoPower reported multiple AI data center–focused milestones, including the new VIVO ticker and name change, leadership reshaping tied to large powered-site acquisitions, insider board purchases, and a $30 million PIPE at a $6.80 conversion price. It also exited digital asset holdings while refocusing on data center infrastructure. Today’s confirmation of the ticker and name effectiveness follows the March 10 announcement and fits this ongoing pivot toward AI compute–oriented infrastructure.

LONDON, March 16, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- VivoPower International PLC (Nasdaq: VVPR) ("VivoPower" or the "Company"), a leading B Corp-certified global developer and owner of powered land and data center infrastructure for AI compute applications, is pleased to announce that effective today, before the open of trading on the Nasdaq stock market, its stock will be traded under the new ticker “VIVO”.
The Company has also officially completed its corporate name change to VivoPower PLC. Both the ticker and name change reflect the Company’s strategic focus on building, owning, and leasing powered land and data center infrastructure for AI compute applications.
The name change does not affect the rights of shareholders, and no action is required from current shareholders.
VivoPower’s core scope remains the provision of land, power, and real-estate infrastructure, while technology and operations remain under the domain of the lessor. The Company aggregates the scarcest input in the data center value chain—power-secured land—and monetizes these assets through long-term, bankable lease contracts with sovereign nations, hyperscalers, neocloud players, and other tenants.
