Nauticus Robotics (KITT) entered a non-binding letter of intent on September 25, 2026, for a proposed equity investment of up to $50 million.
The contemplated private placement is with a strategic investor and is intended to support the company's short- and long-term commercial objectives. The investor is not obligated to provide funding, and the transaction may not be completed. Depending on the final terms, an investment could dilute existing shareholders or change control of Nauticus. The board is evaluating the proposal and considering whether to engage an independent financial advisor.
Nauticus Robotics (KITT) will implement a 1-for-6 reverse stock split of its common stock, following board and stockholder approval.
Every 6 existing shares will be automatically combined into 1 share, with fractional shares rounded up to the nearest whole share. The company states that the primary objective is to increase the share price to meet the minimum bid price requirement of The Nasdaq Capital Market and potentially broaden investor appeal. The reverse split is expected to become effective on September 24, 2026 at 8:01 p.m. ET, with post-split trading beginning September 25, 2026 under the symbol KITT and new CUSIP 63911H 504.
Nauticus Robotics (KITT) will present at the virtual Water Tower Research Virtual Insights Conference on September 22–23, 2026. The company’s presentation is scheduled for Tuesday, September 22, at 9:30 a.m. Eastern, with President and CEO John Gibson available for individual meetings on both days for registered attendees via the conference website.
Nauticus Robotics (KITT) commercially released its Nauticus ToolKITT™ autonomy suite for underwater vehicles, including the Pilot Assist module, following disclosure on its recent earnings call.
The vehicle-agnostic software retrofits onto existing ROV fleets, adding autonomy without replacing current vehicles or OEM control systems. Pilot Assist helps hold position, compensate for currents, and execute waypoint navigation while keeping a human pilot in supervisory control. The software, already used on Nauticus platforms and multiple third-party vehicles, has improved vehicle operating efficiency by greater than 20% in commercial customer operations and reduced pilot workload. ToolKITT is offered on a subscription license with an onboard sensor and topside compute package and is targeted at operators, manufacturers, and defense customers across offshore energy, wind, subsea telecoms, and other sectors.
Nauticus Robotics (KITT) will participate in several upcoming defense-focused maritime conferences. The company will sponsor and exhibit at the Unmanned Maritime Systems Technology (UMST) USA conference in Arlington, Virginia, from September 14–16. It will also act as a partner and presenter at Defence iQ’s Seabed Security and Uncrewed Naval Systems conferences in Troia, Portugal, on October 13–14, engaging with attendees on its autonomous subsea robots and autonomy software.
Nauticus Robotics (NASDAQ: KITT) reported that both of its Comanche remotely operated vehicle (ROV) systems are simultaneously deployed on commercial offshore projects during the third quarter of 2026, indicating substantially stronger offshore activity. One Comanche unit is supporting offshore wind development in the U.S. Northeast, while the other is performing platform inspection work in the U.S. Gulf Coast.
According to Nauticus, these concurrent deployments increase utilization of its ROV assets and mark an important operating milestone. The company has also submitted additional ROV bids in U.S. and international markets but emphasized that current activity should not be viewed as revenue or earnings guidance.
Nauticus Robotics (NASDAQ: KITT) reported second-quarter 2026 revenue of $0.9 million, down from $2.1 million a year earlier but up from $0.2 million in Q1 2026. Total expenses were $6.9 million, below the prior-year period but above Q1. Net loss widened to $11.1 million, or $2.30 per share, versus $7.4 million a year ago, while adjusted net loss was $7.0 million.
Cash, cash equivalents and restricted cash fell to $2.0 million at June 30, 2026 from $7.6 million at year-end 2025, after using $14.1 million in operating cash in the first half. Nauticus commercially released its ToolKITT software, advanced defense and offshore wind opportunities, and continued testing Aquanaut and a next-generation electric manipulator.
Nauticus Robotics (NASDAQ: KITT) will hold its earnings conference call to discuss financial and operating results for the quarter ended June 30, 2026 on August 13, 2026 at 9:00 a.m. Central Time.

Nauticus Robotics (NASDAQ: KITT) and Strangeworks announced a collaboration on August 4, 2026 to explore AI- and optimization-driven deployment of distributed undersea fiber-optic sensing networks used for maritime infrastructure protection.
The effort combines Nauticus’ autonomous subsea robots, autonomy software, and mission expertise with the Strangeworks Aura™ optimization platform, which applies classical optimization, artificial intelligence, quantum-inspired methods, and quantum computing to complex planning and operational problems. The collaboration will examine how to design deployment strategies for Distributed Acoustic Sensing networks that balance coverage, sensing density, equipment needs, and deployment complexity, with the aim of placing sensing capacity where it is needed and reducing unnecessary fiber and interrogator hardware. Future exploratory work may consider using similar computational approaches to process and interpret large data volumes from these networks, with potential applications in port security, offshore energy, subsea telecommunications, environmental monitoring, and defense.
Nauticus Robotics (NASDAQ: KITT) announced completion of the first prototype of its internally developed next-generation electric manipulator for autonomous underwater vehicles and other subsea robotic systems. The modular, three-joint electric design is intended to reduce maintenance complexity, improve reliability, and lower operating costs versus conventional hydraulic manipulators.
The manipulator integrates with Nauticus ToolKITT software to enable autonomous worksite recognition, intervention point identification, adaptation to changing underwater conditions, and precision manipulation with reduced operator input. Nauticus plans five-joint and seven-joint variants, continued prototype builds and testing through 2026, and initial integration on its Aquanaut platform for future autonomous field demonstrations.
