KIDZ AI Issues Shareholder Letter Addressing Disconnect Between Current Share Price and Fundamentals
Rhea-AI Summary
KIDZ AI (NASDAQ:KIDZ) released a shareholder letter highlighting a gap between its share price and balance-sheet and contract metrics. As of July 24, 2026, management estimates a net cash position of about $13.7 million ($14.3 million in cash and USDC minus $0.6 million notes payable), or roughly $1.25 per share, versus a closing share price of $0.4191 and market capitalization of about $4.6 million, implying net cash is around 3x market value.
The company has started repurchases under a previously authorized $2.0 million share buyback and plans to seek Board approval to lift it by 50% to $3.0 million, and to accelerate purchases, subject to conditions. KIDZ AI also points to a 60‑month GPU compute services agreement with Canopy Wave providing approximately $44.6 million in aggregate contracted service fees, with GPU-related revenue expected to begin in Q4 2026. Management stresses figures are approximate, unaudited, and that “net cash position” is a non‑GAAP liquidity measure.
Positive
- Net cash position of about $13.7 million, or $1.25 per share, versus a $4.6 million market cap
- Cash and USDC of approximately $14.3 million against only $0.6 million of notes payable
- GPU compute contract with Canopy Wave for about $44.6 million in fees over 60 months
- Active share repurchase program authorized up to $2.0 million, with intent to seek a 50% increase to $3.0 million
Negative
- Financial figures are preliminary, unaudited internal estimates as of July 24, 2026 and may change
- GPU revenue is only expected to begin in Q4 2026 and depends on execution and deployment
- Contracted GPU fees of $44.6 million are gross revenue over five years, before costs and subject to performance by the parties
- Share repurchase program is discretionary, may be modified, suspended, or discontinued, and does not obligate any specific repurchase amount

NEW YORK CITY, NY / ACCESS Newswire / July 27, 2026 / KIDZ AI Inc. (NASDAQ:KIDZ)(NASDAQ:KIDZW) ("KIDZ AI" or the "Company"), an education technology company advancing AI infrastructure and GPU compute initiatives alongside its core EdTech operations, today issued the following letter to shareholders from its Chief Executive Officer, Stephanie Luo. The letter sets out management's view of the disconnect between the Company's current trading price and its balance sheet and contracted commercial pipeline, updates shareholders on share repurchase activity, and reaffirms the expected timing of initial GPU compute revenue:
Dear Fellow Shareholders,
I am writing because we believe there is a significant and, in our view, unwarranted disconnect between the current trading price of KIDZ AI's shares and what this Company actually owns and has contracted to deliver.
As of July 24, 2026, our shares closed at

Reaching this conclusion does not require shareholders to take any view on our growth prospects. On these figures, our net cash alone is worth nearly three times the entire equity value the market currently ascribes to KIDZ AI. Our Board of Directors and management team believe the current market price materially understates the Company's net cash, its contracted revenue and its long-term opportunity.
Acting on That Conviction: Share Repurchases
A view of this kind is worth little unless the Company is willing to act on it with its own capital. We have begun repurchasing shares in the open market under our previously authorized
We also intend to accelerate the pace of repurchases if the trading price continues to fail to accurately reflect our financial position. Buying back stock at a substantial discount to the cash behind it is, in our view, among the most direct and accretive uses of capital available to us today, and we intend to pursue it deliberately - while preserving the liquidity required to execute on our GPU deployment and maintain our core AI education-related operations. Repurchases will remain subject to market conditions, share price and trading volume, applicable securities laws and trading window restrictions, our capital requirements and the discretion of the Board.
From Positioning to Revenue: GPU Commercialization
Our balance sheet gives us the flexibility to move from strategic positioning to commercial execution, and that transition is now underway. We recently announced a 60-month GPU compute services agreement with Canopy Wave that provides for approximately
Based on our current financing, procurement and deployment timetable, we expect GPU-related revenue to begin in the fourth quarter of 2026. We are also advancing infrastructure and data center relationships, evaluating commercial partnerships and joint ventures, and considering strategic transactions that may expand our compute capacity, strengthen execution and support recurring enterprise demand.
Focused on Execution
KIDZ AI enters this next phase with substantial liquidity, minimal debt, an active share repurchase program and a defined path to GPU revenue. Our priorities are straightforward: deploy capital responsibly, repurchase our stock while it trades at a deep discount to the cash behind it, hit measurable commercial milestones, and communicate material progress to shareholders promptly and transparently.
We do not believe today's market price reflects the assets we hold or the opportunity in front of us. Our response will not be words alone - it will be disciplined capital allocation and execution against the milestones we have laid out.
Thank you for your continued support and trust.
Sincerely,
Stephanie Luo

These financial figures should not be viewed as a substitute for full financial statements prepared in accordance with U.S. GAAP. Furthermore, "net cash position" as referred to above is not a measure prepared in accordance with U.S. GAAP. See "Use of Non-GAAP Information" below.

About KIDZ AI Inc.
KIDZ AI Inc. (NASDAQ:KIDZ)(NASDAQ:KIDZW) is an education technology company advancing AI infrastructure and GPU compute initiatives alongside its core EdTech operations, building capacity to serve enterprise and AI-native customers.
Use of Non-GAAP Information
"Net cash position" is not a financial measure calculated in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles ("GAAP"). The Company defines "net cash position" as cash plus USDC stablecoin holdings, less notes payable. Management believes this measure provides useful supplemental information regarding the Company's liquidity, but it should not be considered in isolation or as a substitute for the most directly comparable GAAP measures. The figures presented are preliminary, unaudited and based on internal management estimates as of July 24, 2026; they have not been reviewed or audited by the Company's independent registered public accounting firm and are subject to change in connection with the completion of the Company's quarterly closing and review procedures. Actual results reported in the Company's periodic filings may differ. Aggregate contracted service fees under the Company's GPU compute services agreement represent gross contracted revenue over the five-year initial term before associated costs, are subject to performance by the parties, and are not a measure of profit, cash flow or recognized revenue in any period.
Share Repurchase Program
The share repurchase program does not obligate the Company to acquire any particular amount of Class B common stock, and the program may be modified, suspended or discontinued at any time at the Company's discretion without prior notice. Any increase in the size of the program is subject to authorization by the Company's Board of Directors, and no assurance can be given that such authorization will be obtained or implemented. Repurchases may be effected from time to time in open market transactions, in privately negotiated transactions or by other means, including pursuant to a trading plan adopted in accordance with Rule 10b5-1 and/or in compliance with the manner, timing, price and volume conditions of Rule 10b-18 under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended. The timing, number and value of shares repurchased will depend on a number of factors, including the market price and trading volume of the Company's Class B common stock, general market and economic conditions, the Company's liquidity and capital requirements, applicable legal and regulatory requirements, and applicable trading window restrictions. No assurance can be given that the Company will repurchase any additional shares or that repurchases will occur at any particular pace.
