Knightscope Reports Q2 2026 Earnings: Revenue Surges, Gross Margin Turns Positive
Knightscope (KSCP) reported second-quarter revenue of $9.0 million in 2026, a significant increase from $2.7 million the previous year, driven by its acquisition of Security Force. The company achieved record customer growth with 434 clients across 42 states and posted positive gross margin for two consecutive quarters at approximately 7%, compared to a prior-year loss. Despite rising operating expenses due to R&D investments and headcount expansion, Knightscope reported a net loss of $14.1 million or $0.79 per share in Q2 2026 versus a narrower loss the previous year. The company plans to deploy its K7 robot starting in Q3 2026 as part of long-term goals for blended gross margins between 50% and 60%. Management also highlighted opportunities within an estimated $230 billion physical security market, including potential consolidation among guarding firms.
