Rezolve AI Plc is taking a takeover proposal directly to Commerce.com Inc. shareholders after talks with the board and management faltered. Rezolve is offering one of its own shares for every two shares of Commerce.com, according to a letter to investors reviewed by Bloomberg News. The offer to shareholders came after Rezolve earlier offered a 1-for-1 per share exchange to the Commerce.com board before it was rejected, Rezolve AI Chief Executive Officer Daniel Wagner wrote. “In doing so, they did not just ignore us. They ignored you,” Wagner said in the letter to shareholders. “That offer is now permanently off the table.” A representative for Commerce.com, known for its BigCommerce product, didn’t immediately respond to queries outside regular business hours. Commerce.com went public in 2020 at a valuation of almost $1.6 billion. As of Tuesday, its market capitalization stood at $225 million and the company has seen its value fall by almost half over the past year. Rezolve has a market value of around $969 million. Rezolve said that while Commerce.com has real assets including an installed base of over 60,000 online stores, its management team and board have destroyed value, offered no turnaround plan and allowed the company to “drift into irrelevance.” Rezolve is the provider of AI platform Brain Suite, a tool designed for digital commerce and customer engagement that the company says simplifies the shopping experience by making product searches easier and payments more efficient. The merged company would have more than $700 million in revenue and see accelerated growth by bringing together Rezolve’s AI and payments tools with the merchants using Commerce.com, Rezolve said. “By combining the businesses, we create an instantly profitable, self-sustaining global giant,” Wagner wrote.

An uncertain economy and dangerous geopolitical backdrop have investors buying into technology’s most popular haven trade: dividend-rich telecommunications stocks. After a dismal 2025, telecom is one of this year’s top performing sectors in the S&P 500 Index , rising 9.6% while the broad benchmark is down 3.3%. Shares of Verizon Communication Inc. are up more than 19% in 2026, and AT&T Inc. has gained 13%. Meanwhile, the Nasdaq 100 Index fell into a correction in March, and a Bloomberg gauge of the Magnificent Seven tech giants has tumbled 13% from its October high. The reason for the divergence is fairly simple. With the economic outlook increasingly dicey, investors are prioritizing predictable cash flows and above-average dividend income, which the telecoms provide, according to Sergey Dluzhevskiy , portfolio manager at Gabelli Funds. “You have a market rotation away from some of the technology-oriented names and the AI trade broadly to more defensive sectors,” Dluzhevskiy said. The dividend yield for the S&P 500 Communications Services Industry Group Index is 4.3%, roughly in line with the yield on 10-year Treasuries , which fell below 4% in late February and early March. Individually, Verizon shares boast a 5.6% dividend , while Comcast Corp. ’s payout is 4.8% . “When you have Treasury yields go lower, higher-yielding dividend stocks look attractive,” said Randy Hare , a portfolio manager at Huntington National Bank. “Your dividend aristocrats are outperforming the market.” Dividend stocks are favored by investors who are worried about future growth and want to protect their portfolios in times of market turmoil by generating predictable returns. That aligns with the current market sentiment, where the destabilization brought on by the Iran war is running into concerns about the billions of dollars megacap tech companies are spending to build out the infrastructure for artificial intelligence. Those AI investments are propping up a wide array of industries and ...
