Knightscope (US49907V2016) approved options for 789,444 shares for 107 newly hired employees on September 30, 2026. BusinessWire reported the grant on October 1, 2026, while Lake Street maintained a USD 3.00 price target on September 22, 2026, according to Investing.com.

Chronology shows expanding activity

On September 22, 2026, Knightscope reported USD 27.00 million in estimated renewals, bookings and client awards covering May 20 through September 18, 2026, across 109 contracts. On September 30, 2026, the company approved 789,444 employee options. On October 1, 2026, the company disclosed that 107 new employees received the awards under its 2025 Inducement Plan, according to BusinessWire.

What does the award total mean for revenue?

The USD 27.00 million figure is an operating measure, not GAAP revenue, backlog or a cash-flow forecast. Knightscope said services revenue is recognized as clients order and receive them, so the figure provides scale but does not establish a matching period of reported sales.

The latest reported quarter offers a useful comparison. Knightscope recorded USD 9.02 million of revenue in the second quarter of 2026, up 228.00 percent from USD 2.70 million in the second quarter of 2025, while operating cash flow was negative USD 11.50 million, according to the company's investor-relations information at Knightscope.

Upcoming reporting dates

The next reported date is November 12, 2026, when Knightscope is scheduled to report third-quarter 2026 results. A fiscal-year 2026 report is listed for March 29, 2027, according to Barron's.
