Spark’s Take on KRUS Stock

According to Spark, TipRanks’ AI Analyst, KRUS is a Neutral.

The score is primarily held back by uneven profitability and negative free cash flow despite strong revenue growth. Technical momentum is supportive, but valuation is weak due to losses and no dividend. The latest earnings call was mixed: reiterated FY26 targets and strong liquidity help, while tariff pressure, margin compression, and negative comps remain key risks.
