Knightscope, Inc. (NASDAQ: KSCP) has announced record second-quarter 2026 revenue of $9 million, a 228% increase from $2.7 million in the same period last year, marking its second consecutive record quarter. The company reported a gross margin of $0.7 million, or approximately 7% of revenue, compared with a gross loss of $0.9 million in the prior-year period. Net loss widened to $14.1 million, or $0.79 per share, from $6.3 million, or $0.90 per share, a year earlier. Knightscope ended the quarter with $8.2 million in cash and cash equivalents and now serves 434 clients across 42 states.
The significant revenue growth reflects strong demand for Knightscope's autonomous security solutions. The company's integration of its Security Force acquisition is proceeding as planned, and its new K7 autonomous security robot has advanced to the Beta Prototype phase, with initial deployments expected in the fourth quarter. Knightscope is also developing its Signals orchestration platform and plans to officially launch its Autonomous Security Force at GSX 2026, scheduled for Sept. 14-16 in Atlanta.
These developments are crucial as Knightscope aims to build the nation's first Autonomous Security Force, integrating autonomous machines, advanced software, and licensed armed and unarmed security agents under a single managed service. This unified approach is designed to enhance security for people, property, and places across the United States. The company's expansion into new states and its growing client base underscore its market penetration and the increasing adoption of autonomous security technologies.
The record revenue and strategic milestones highlight Knightscope's potential to disrupt the traditional security industry. By combining robotics with human oversight, the company addresses the need for more efficient and scalable security solutions. The upcoming launch of the Autonomous Security Force at GSX 2026 could position Knightscope as a leader in the sector, potentially impacting how security services are delivered nationwide.
Investors and industry observers will be watching closely as Knightscope continues to execute its growth strategy. The company's focus on innovation and expansion suggests a promising future, albeit with ongoing financial challenges typical of high-growth tech firms. As Knightscope progresses, its ability to manage costs while scaling operations will be key to long-term success.
