Knightscope, Inc. (NASDAQ: KSCP), a security technology company developing autonomous security solutions, announced preliminary, unaudited third-quarter 2026 revenue of approximately $8.7 million, up 177% from $3.1 million in the prior-year period. This marks the company's third consecutive quarter of triple-digit year-over-year revenue growth, a streak that underscores accelerating demand for its autonomous security robots and managed services.
The implications of this announcement extend beyond the headline revenue figure. For the first nine months of 2026, Knightscope reported revenue of approximately $23.7 million, a 170% increase from $8.8 million a year earlier. That sustained growth suggests the company is successfully scaling its operations and converting its pipeline into recurring revenue. The company also reported approximately $27 million in renewals, bookings and client awards, a strong indicator of customer retention and future revenue visibility. These metrics are critical for investors assessing the durability of Knightscope's business model, which combines autonomous machines, AI-driven software, and licensed security agents under one accountable operation.
Additionally, Knightscope highlighted the launch of its Autonomous Security Force at GSX 2026, a significant step in positioning the company as a comprehensive security solution provider. The Autonomous Security Force concept aims to integrate robotic and human security elements into a single contract, which could differentiate Knightscope in the competitive security market. The preliminary revenue figures remain subject to completion of quarter-end financial closing procedures, but if confirmed, they represent a substantial leap forward for the company.
Separately, Knightscope announced that founder, Chairman and CEO William Santana Li will present at the LD Micro 20th Annual Main Event on Oct. 21, 2026, at 4 p.m. Pacific Time in Los Angeles. Li will be accompanied by the company's K7 Autonomous Security Robot and will participate in one-on-one meetings with institutional investors. The presentation will be livestreamed, with a replay available following the event. This exposure to institutional investors could further boost the company's profile and attract new capital.
