Knightscope, Inc. has announced an impressive 177% increase in revenue for the third quarter of 2026, marking its third consecutive quarter of triple-digit year-over-year growth. This surge is attributed to the company's innovative Autonomous Security Force, which has gained significant traction among Fortune 500 companies and federal agencies. The results underscore Knightscope's commitment to enhancing security technology solutions.
On October 20, 2026, Knightscope released preliminary revenue figures for the quarter ending September 30, 2026. The company reported approximately $8.7 million in revenue, a substantial increase from $3.1 million in the same quarter of the previous year. For the first nine months of 2026, total revenue reached approximately $23.7 million, up 170% compared to $8.8 million during the same period in 2025.
William Santana Li, Chairman and CEO of Knightscope, commented on the results, stating, "The third quarter is when the Autonomous Security Force moved from strategy to debut, and revenue more than doubled year over year while we did it. We officially launched the Autonomous Security Force at GSX 2026 in front of the largest gathering of security leaders in the country, and reported a corporate record of approximately $27 million in renewals, bookings, and client awards. Clients are favoring autonomous machines, AI-driven software, and licensed security agents delivered as one accountable operation."
Knightscope is positioned within the communications equipment industry, specifically classified under SIC code 3669. The company has been making strides in developing advanced security technologies, particularly its Autonomous Security Force, which has attracted significant attention from major enterprises and government entities.
The filing indicates that the revenue figures reported are preliminary and subject to the completion of the company’s normal quarter-end closing procedures.
