Knightscope, Inc. (KSCP) · Nov 6, 2026 · Delisting
Nasdaq deficiency — Below $1.00 for 30 consecutive business days; compliance deadline May 3, 2027
Knightscope received a Nasdaq deficiency notice after 30 days below $1, giving the security-robotics company until May 3, 2027 to recover.
Knightscope is expanding from a robotics vendor into an integrated security-services platform, combining autonomous robots, emergency devices, software, and human security services after acquiring Event Risk. Its latest reported quarter showed $9.0 million of revenue, up 228% year over year, while recent contract announcements pointed to a larger recurring-services model.
The filing adds a real capital-markets problem to that growth story: Nasdaq says Knightscope’s stock closed below the $1.00 minimum bid price for 30 consecutive business days. This does not immediately interrupt trading, but it creates a deadline and raises the possibility of a reverse split or eventual delisting if the company cannot restore the price.
The immediate pressure is manageable, not yet existential: Knightscope has until May 3, 2027 to regain compliance, requiring a close at or above $1 for at least 10 consecutive business days. It may also qualify for another 180-day period, but that could require using a reverse stock split and meeting other listing standards.
This is negative because it weakens the quality of the growth platform’s public-market footing: the business is trying to fund and scale a broader recurring-services strategy, while the deficiency signals that the market price has not supported continued Nasdaq compliance. The filing offers no operating setback or financial update, so this is a listing-risk complication rather than a reversal of the underlying business expansion.
Bottom line: Knightscope’s operating expansion is not changed by this notice, but the company now has a defined Nasdaq compliance problem to solve. It matters because a reverse split or delisting risk could complicate the financing and execution of its broader security-services buildout, even with six months to respond.
