Nauticus Robotics ( (KITT) ) has provided an announcement.
On February 6, 2026, Nauticus Robotics agreed a private preferred equity financing with Master Investment Group for up to $50 million in Series D Convertible Preferred Stock and accompanying warrants, starting with a $3 million tranche tied to UAE-related spending milestones. Proceeds are earmarked exclusively for working capital to establish and run a new United Arab Emirates business unit, with a two-year lock-up on converted common shares and voting and conversion caps designed to comply with Nasdaq rules.

On February 9, 2026, Nauticus also issued a $2 million senior secured convertible debenture due September 9, 2026 to an institutional investor, adding non-registered, conversion-linked funding as the company accelerates its international expansion and scales revenue-generating offshore services.

Spark’s Take on KITT Stock
According to Spark, TipRanks’ AI Analyst, KITT is a Neutral.
The score is held down primarily by weak financial quality—large ongoing losses, negative gross profit, and a highly stressed balance sheet with negative equity—despite strong revenue growth. Technicals show improving near-term momentum, and company updates point to operational progress and improved cash, but valuation support is limited due to negative earnings and no dividend.
