These updates, all tagged as general news or corporate actions, show a pivot toward drones and UAS. The current RTLS divestiture on Feb 3, 2026 continues this shift away from legacy IoT/RTLS operations.
Regulatory & Risk Context

XTI is not selling shares itself and will not receive proceeds, but filings highlight potential stock price pressure from these resales and ongoing Nasdaq listing compliance challenges.
Market Pulse Summary
This announcement advances XTI Aerospace’s pivot from RTLS toward drones and UAS by selling Inpixon GmbH for EUR 4.64 million (about $5.48 million), effective Feb 3, 2026.

Transaction sharpens strategic focus, reduces cost structure, and supports path to profitability in 2026
"We are making disciplined decisions across the portfolio to ensure XTI is positioned for scale, profitability and leadership in markets where we see the strongest strategic and commercial opportunity," said Scott Pomeroy, Chief Executive Officer of XTI. "This divestiture allows us to further streamline our cost base while enabling Inpixon to thrive under owners whose sole focus is advancing RTLS."
Inpixon provides solutions in the field of indoor positioning, real-time localization, and sensor technologies and develop and distribute hardware and software systems that use sensor technology, radio technologies, and data analysis to enable the precise location of people, devices and objects within buildings.
The Company believes that the transaction supports XTI's focus on establishing leadership in drones and driving toward sustainable profitability.
"Inpixon has advanced technology and long-term potential in the RTLS market, and we are proud of the innovation developed by the team," Pomeroy added. "However, as we sharpen our strategic focus around drones, RTLS was no longer aligned with where we are concentrating our capital, leadership attention and growth efforts."
Pomeroy expressed confidence in the future of Inpixon under its new ownership, noting that the buyer group brings deep technology experience, operational leadership, and global market expertise to support business continuity and continued innovation and growth.
