Knightscope (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, signaling accelerating demand for its autonomous security offerings.
The strong top-line performance extends beyond a single quarter. Revenue for the first nine months of 2026 reached approximately $23.7 million, a 170% increase from $8.8 million a year earlier. The company also reported approximately $27 million in renewals, bookings and client awards, a metric that suggests a healthy pipeline for future periods. These preliminary figures remain subject to completion of quarter-end financial closing procedures, but they underscore Knightscope's momentum in the emerging autonomous security market.
In addition to its financial results, Knightscope highlighted the launch of its Autonomous Security Force at GSX 2026. The offering integrates autonomous machines, AI-driven software, and licensed security agents as one accountable operation under a single contract, aiming to protect people, property, and critical infrastructure. This integrated approach differentiates Knightscope from traditional security providers and positions it to capitalize on growing demand for technology-enabled security services.
