H.C. Wainwright Initiates Coverage on Knightscope (NASDAQ: KSCP) with a Buy Rating and $16 Price Target

Knightscope, Inc. (NASDAQ: KSCP), an innovator in robotics and artificial intelligence technologies focused on public safety, today announced that H.C. Wainwright & Co. has initiated coverage on the company with a Buy rating and a 12-month price target of $16 per share.

The report highlights Knightscope’s repositioning for accelerating revenue growth into 2026, citing the company’s Machine-as-a-Service (MaaS) business model, strong industry tailwinds, and expanding market opportunities in the private and public sectors. H.C. Wainwright estimates Knightscope’s near-term market opportunity at $4 billion, with long-term industry potential exceeding $41 billion in recurring revenue.

“Following strategic corporate and technology enhancements in 2024, Knightscope is now well-positioned for long-term revenue growth and margin expansion,” the report states. “As investors recognize the company’s path toward profitability and increasing free cash flow, demand for KSCP shares is expected to rise.”

Knightscope’s solutions to improve public safety, including its autonomous security robots and emergency communication devices, continue to gain traction across airports, casinos, hospitals, corporate campuses, manufacturing facilities, and government agencies. The company recently secured FedRAMP authorization that enables expansion into U.S. federal markets, which further supports its long-term growth outlook.
