Mobix Labs (MOBX) to buy Special Project Delivery in all-stock deal, raises revenue outlook
Rhea-AI Filing Summary
Mobix Labs, Inc. reported preliminary revenue expectations and outlined a new strategic acquisition aligned with its U.S. national-security focus. For the third quarter of 2026, the company expects revenue of $750k–$850k, and currently anticipates fiscal fourth-quarter 2026 revenue of $1.4–$1.8 million, with final results to be provided in its upcoming quarterly report. In parallel, Mobix signed a definitive agreement to acquire Special Project Delivery, Inc. (SPD), a U.S. infrastructure platform focused on rare earth elements, critical minerals, energy and water resilience, via an all-stock transaction with consideration not to exceed 4.8 million shares of Mobix common stock. The transaction is expected to close before the end of 2026, subject to Mobix stockholder approval and customary conditions. Management frames SPD as a cornerstone of Mobix’s National Security Matters initiative, adding upstream resource and infrastructure capabilities to its defense, aerospace and autonomous-systems technologies, while cautioning that the resource potential of the acquired property has not been independently quantified and highlighting ongoing risks around capital needs and going-concern status.
Positive
- Preliminary revenue growth signals with guidance of $750k–$850k for Q3 2026 and $1.4–$1.8 million for the fiscal fourth quarter, indicating an expected sequential increase in quarterly revenue.
- All-stock acquisition of Special Project Delivery for up to 4.8 million shares adds critical minerals, energy and water-infrastructure exposure that broadens Mobix’s National Security Matters platform and expands its strategic reach across the U.S. national-security supply chain.
Negative
- The company highlights risks related to its inability to meet future capital requirements, potential difficulty raising additional capital and the risk concerning its ability to continue as a going concern, which could materially affect long-term viability.
- For the SPD transaction, the resource potential of the acquired property has not been independently quantified, so the opportunity is framed as a strategic land-and-resource position rather than a confirmed reserve, adding uncertainty to the economic upside.
- Completion of the SPD acquisition depends on Mobix stockholder approval, financing and other closing conditions, and the company warns the transaction may be modified, delayed, terminated or may not deliver anticipated benefits or synergies.

Mobix Labs Signs Definitive Rare Earth Elements Deal, Expanding National Security Platform; Hosts Investor Call today at 4:15pm ET
IRVINE, CA, August 13, 2026 – Mobix Labs, Inc. (Nasdaq: MOBX) announced today that it has executed a definitive agreement to acquire Special Project Delivery, Inc. (SPD), a strategic infrastructure platform building U.S. supply chains for rare earth elements, critical minerals, and energy storage.
Mobix is hosting an investor call today at 4:15pm ET to discuss its new National Security Matters (NSM) Initiative. The call will include remarks by Paul Singarella, co-founder of Special Project Delivery. Details to access the call/webcast are available here.
“We are moving decisively to take our NSM initiative from vision to reality,” said Jim Peterson, Chairman of Mobix Labs. “The control and development of strategic domestic mineral rights is fundamental to America’s long-term industrial strength and security, and the SPD platform allows us to hit the ground running.”
Cornerstone of National Security Focus
The proposed SPD acquisition is a cornerstone in the expansion of Mobix’s core defense/aerospace solutions business to pursue a much broader set of complementary national security priorities. SPD’s opportunity pipeline includes:
| ● | Critical minerals and rare earth elements |
| ● | Energy and critical infrastructure |
| ● | Western U.S. water resilience |
| ● | Carbon and biosolids |
The combined platform will also seek opportunities within national priorities including missile-defense and homeland-defense architecture initiatives, domestic drone and autonomous-systems production, and federal critical minerals and strategic stockpile programs.
National Security Matters Alignment
The transaction advances Mobix Labs’ previously announced National Security Matters (“NSM”) Initiative, which broadened the company’s business scope and long-term growth potential through an expanded focus on U.S. national security priorities across defense and aerospace electronics, American-built drones and autonomous systems, rare earth elements and critical minerals, and energy and critical infrastructure.
SPD adds the upstream resource and infrastructure layer to that strategy. Where the NSM platform has been focused on the components, systems and electronics that national security programs consume, SPD seeks to provide the materials, energy and water systems on which those programs depend — positioning the combined company across the supply chain rather than at a single point within it.
The Critical Minerals Thesis
SPD’s thesis is that the binding constraint on U.S. national security manufacturing is no longer design or fabrication capacity but secure access to the underlying materials and the energy and water systems required to process them. Rare earth elements, lithium and other critical minerals remain concentrated in foreign supply chains, and demand is accelerating from precisely the applications least tolerant of disruption: defense electronics, autonomous systems, grid resilience, and the data centers underpinning U.S. artificial-intelligence compute.
Resource potential for the acquired property has not been independently quantified. The opportunity is best understood strategic land-and-resource position with embedded geothermal and lithium optionality, rather than a confirmed reserve.as a
Agreement Terms
The SPD acquisition is structured as an all-stock transaction, with consideration not to exceed 4.8 million shares of Mobix common stock. The transaction is expected to close before the end of 2026, subject to Mobix stockholder approval and the satisfaction of other customary closing conditions.
Mobix Comment
“The SPD agreement is a transformational step in our vision to pursue a much larger and strategically important set of interrelated opportunities that are core to domestic national security,” said Philip Sansone, CEO of Mobix Labs. “SPD provides a highly specialized platform to participate critical mineral and rare earth opportunities that underpin much of our defense technology and national security capabilities. This combination opens Mobix to a much broader total addressable market, creating many new exciting avenues for growth and value creation.”
“Combining the businesses through an all-stock structure lets us efficiently bolt on SPD’s expertise and existing projects, while preserving our capital to build the business. Together we will provide our stockholders exposure to assets that are difficult to assemble and harder to replace.”
SPD Comment
“SPD was built on a straightforward conviction: the United States cannot rebuild its defense industrial base on supply chains it does not control,” said Paul Singarella, Co-Founder and Chief Executive Officer of SPD. “Combining with Mobix unites our platform with a publicly traded defense and dual-use technology company already operating inside the defense and aerospace ecosystems our materials are built to supply.”
