Activist Wants Grove Collaborative to Seek Strategic Alternatives, Shares Surge

Dow Jones

Jul 09, 2025

By Katherine Hamilton

Grove Collaborative received a letter from activist investor HumanCo Investments calling for a review of strategic alternatives, including a sale of the company.

HumanCo, which owns more than 5% of Grove, said Tuesday that the health and wellness company is undervalued in the public market due to a lack of investor relevance as a result of its small market capitalization.

The company has not pursued a strategy that balances growth and profitability due to its operational and public cost burden, which can't be reduced as a standalone public company, HumanCo said.

Grove might be valued at a 90% to 140% premium to its current share price, HumanCo said. Grove shares soared 52% to $1.74 post market, and ended the regular trading session down 1.7% at $1.50. Through the close shares are down 16% this year.
