June 5th

Greetings, Friend!


America's security infrastructure is broken and the numbers make that impossible to ignore.


Businesses are spending between $220k and $570k per year just to cover a single location around the clock. Police departments are burning through up to $1.3Mn annually per 24/7 post. And despite all of that spending, more than 90% of security alerts are non-actionable without a human being in the loop.


Guards, cameras, sensors, and software all operate in silos. Nobody owns accountability from end to end.


It's a $230Bn market that has barely seen real innovation in decades. And the same forces that disrupted transportation, communications, and commerce are now pointed directly at it.


One Silicon Valley company saw this coming more than a decade ago. And in just the last few weeks, it has stacked moves on top of moves that change everything.


Knightscope, Inc. (NASDAQ: KSCP) will be topping our watchlist Friday, June 5th, 2026.


Q1 2026 revenue surged 106% year-over-year to $6.0Mn, making good on the triple-digit growth the company promised when it closed the Event Risk acquisition. Gross margin turned positive for the first time. And just last week, the company announced nearly $4Mn in new and recurring contracts spanning eight verticals, from critical infrastructure and federal government to Fortune 500 heal-thcare and national retail. 


On top of that, (KSCP) just signed a five-year collaboration with Carnegie Mellon University's School of Computer Science, with five graduate students from one of the most respected robotics programs in the world already working on advanced AI for the all-new K7 Autonomous Security Robot.


And three Wall Street analysts are maintaining ratings with price targets as high as $26 on a profile currently trending below $5.00 on its chart.

*Knightscope, Inc. (NASDAQ: KSCP)*

Knightscope, Inc. (NASDAQ: KSCP) is a Silicon Valley security technology company founded in 2013 with one mission: to make the United States of America the safest country in the world.


The company is building the nation's first Autonomous Security Force, a fully managed service that combines autonomous robots, AI-driven software, and augmented security agents into one integrated operation that deters, detects, and responds to threats in real time.


Not a camera company. Not a guarding company. Not a software platform. All three, under one roof, fully managed.


With approximately 10,000 machines already deployed nationwide across healthcare, higher education, commercial real estate, manufacturing, local government, and residential communities, the foundation is already in place.

The Acquisition That Delivered Triple-Digit Revenue Growth 


At the end of February 2026, (KSCP) closed the acquisition of Event Risk, a nationwide provider of armed and unarmed security guarding services and executive protection.


Event Risk brings something that technology-only vendors simply cannot manufacture overnight: licensed guarding capability, established client relationships, and a proven operational infrastructure for delivering security services at scale across the United States.

The deal doesn't just speed up Knightscope's plan. It massively widens the funnel, converting traditional guards into Augmented Security Agents and plugging Knightscope's technology into a far larger installed base, site by site. Every contract Event Risk holds today is a future deployment opportunity for autonomous machines.


In connection with the acquisition, the company quadrupled its workforce to over 400 personnel, including 290 security agents now supporting client deployments nationwide. And in an industry notorious for extreme turnover, Knightscope is offering equity participation to frontline workers.


As Chairman and CEO William Santana Li said this week:


"By expanding our workforce and offering equity participation to new team members, we aim to attract and retain mission-driven professionals committed to helping us build the Nation's First Autonomous Security Force."


Guards are not the destination. They are the deployment catalyst for autonomy.


106% Revenue Growth. Gross Margin Positive. The Numbers Are In.


On May 15th, 2026, (KSCP) reported Q1 2026 financial results and the triple-digit revenue growth the company forecast when it closed the Event Risk deal has arrived.


Total revenue reached $6.0Mn in Q1 2026, up 106% from $2.9Mn in the prior year period. Service revenue grew 98% year-over-year to $4.2Mn. Product revenue jumped 128% to $1.8Mn. And gross margin turned positive at 8% of revenue, compared to a loss of 23% in Q1 2025.


As CEO William Santana Li said when Q1 results were reported:


"Q1 was a turning point for Knightscope. With the strategic acquisition of Event Risk, all four operational pillars of the Autonomous Security Force — autonomous machines, advanced software, real-time monitoring, and licensed security agents — are now in place. Revenue more than doubled from the same prior period year, gross margin turned positive, and the work of integrating these capabilities into a single unified force is underway. We are just getting started."


Nearly $4Mn in New and Recurring Contracts Across Eight Verticals


On May 19th, 2026, (KSCP) announced approximately $3.8Mn in new and recurring contracts spanning critical infrastructure, retail and consumer, heal-thcare and life sciences, industrial and energy, gaming and hospitality, higher education, commercial real estate, and technology and telecom.


Critical infrastructure led the bookings, anchored by engagements with a major California county government, the federal government, multiple major metropolitan law enforcement and emergency response agencies, a U.S. national laboratory, regional transit, aviation and port authorities, and dozens of state and county transportation programs. Private-sector activity spanned Fortune 500 pharmaceutical and heal-thcare organizations, national retail brands, a global beverage company, casino operators, and top-tier universities.


Carnegie Mellon University Joins the Mission

On April 15th, 2026, (KSCP) announced a five-year collaboration with Carnegie Mellon University's School of Computer Science, one of the most respected robotics programs in the world. The agreement establishes the National Security Robotics Lab at Knightscope's Silicon Valley headquarters and funds five educational course projects over five years focused on robotics for national security, public safety, and physical security.


And this is not theoretical. Five graduate students from Carnegie Mellon's Master of Science in Robotic Systems Development program are already working with Knightscope on an advanced artificial intelligence feature for the all-new K7 Autonomous Security Robot.


Carnegie Mellon does not lend its name to projects that aren't serious. This collaboration plugs (KSCP) directly into one of the deepest robotics talent pipelines in the country and aligns the company with U.S. national priorities around autonomy, public safety, and security. With the U.S. government representing the single largest vertical in the $230Bn physical security market at an estimated $57Bn alone, the federal opp. is significant.


The K7: A New Robot Built for Markets No Current System Can Reach Autonomously

The all-new K7 Autonomous Security Robot is slated for limited production in the second half of 2026. It is designed for large outdoor environments that traditional security systems simply cannot cover - miles of fence lines, logistics yards, solar farms, industrial complexes, critical infrastructure, and defense installations.


The K7 combines light-duty off-road capability with Knightscope's full suite of AI-powered detection, deterrence, and reporting technology. It can go where no camera and no human patrol can match. Integrated with the all-new Signals AI software platform, it opens entirely new markets that the current fleet cannot yet reach.


Think of critical infrastructure operators protecting thousands of acres. Defense contractors. Border security. Solar and wind installations. Each of these represents a brand new layer of recurring revenue sitting on top of an already-growing subscription base.


Every new market the K7 unlocks is another deployment channel. And every deployment channel feeds directly into the Machine-as-a-Service flywheel that gets more powerful over time.

7 Reasons Why Knightscope, Inc. (NASDAQ: KSCP) Is Topping Our Watchlist Friday, June 5th, 2026


1. Three Wall Street Analysts. Price Targets Up to $26:

Source: tipranks.com


Ascendiant Capital reiterated and raised its price target to $26 in April 2026, implying significant potential upside from current levels. H.C. Wainwright reiterated with a $12 price target. Lake Street Capital maintains with an $8 target. Three independent firms. That kind of consensus doesn't happen by accident.


2. Triple-Digit Revenue Growth Delivered:


Q1 2026 revenue hit $6.0Mn, up 106% year-over-year. The triple-digit growth the company forecast when it closed the Event Risk acquisition has arrived. Gross margin turned positive. And the integration of all four pillars of the Autonomous Security Force is underway.


3. Nearly $4Mn in New and Recurring Contracts Across Eight Verticals:


(KSCP) announced approximately $3.8Mn in new and recurring contracts spanning critical infrastructure, retail, heal-thcare, industrial and energy, gaming, higher education, commercial real estate, and tech. Critical infrastructure led the way, anchored by federal and state government, major law enforcement agencies, a U.S. national laboratory, and aviation and port authorities.


4. Service Revenue Up 98% Year-Over-Year:


Q1 service revenue grew 98% to $4.2Mn, with product revenue up 128% to $1.8Mn. The recurring engine of this business is scaling fast.


5. The Only Provider That Checks All Six Boxes:


Licensed guarding. 24/7 monitoring. Autonomous patrol. Integrated response. Quality and consistency. Outcome accountability. Traditional guard firms check two. Technology-only vendors check one. No other company delivers all six. That is not a feature. It is a structural competitive advantage.


6. Validated by Carnegie Mellon — One of the World's Top Robotics Programs:


(KSCP) just signed a five-year collaboration with Carnegie Mellon University's School of Computer Science, including the establishment of the National Security Robotics Lab at Knightscope's Silicon Valley headquarters. Five graduate students are already developing advanced AI for the all-new K7. Add the existing Palantir FedStart agreement and the federal door is wide open. The U.S. government is the single largest vertical in the $230Bn physical security market, estimated at $57Bn alone.


7. A $230Bn Market and (KSCP) Has Barely Scratched the Surface:


With approximately $11.3Mn in 2025 revenue against a $230Bn total addressable market spanning government, heal-thcare, education, retail, critical infrastructure, and residential communities, and triple-digit revenue growth expected in 2026, the runway ahead could be extraordinarily long.


The market cap currently sits at approximately $40Mn. Compare that to Evolv Technologies at over $1Bn for a company that does one thing: detect weapons at entry points. The math speaks for itself.

Before you run off, I think it's worth taking one more look at why (KSCP) has landed front and center.


Three independent Wall Street analysts maintain ratings with a consensus price target implying significant potential upside from current levels, with the high target sitting at $26 from Ascendiant Capital.


Q1 2026 revenue came in at $6.0Mn, up 106% year-over-year, with gross margin turning positive for the first time. Then, four days later, Knightscope announced nearly $4Mn in new and recurring contracts across eight verticals. 


Add in the brand-new five-year Carnegie Mellon University collaboration, the existing Palantir partnership opening the federal door, and a next-generation K7 robot built for markets the current fleet cannot yet reach. As CEO William Santana Li put it: "The Company enters 2026 with a stronger foundation, improved liquidity, and a broader platform to accelerate growth."


With a market cap of over just over $40Mn against a $230Bn opp., the gap between where this company is and where it could go is difficult to ignore.
