Kraken Robotics (TSXV:PNG) Stock Selloff Puts Growth Milestones Under The Microscope

Simply Wall St · 1d ago

Kraken Robotics stock came into this earnings print on the back foot, with the share price down about 28% over the past three months and more than 10% over the past week. Yet the headline from Q2 was not collapse; it was scale. Revenue reached CA$27.32 million with gross margin around 59% and adjusted EBITDA margin near 18%, numbers more in line with a company investing for growth than one in free fall.

The market now has to decide whether that short term price weakness reflects genuine concern or an emotional overreaction to a still unprofitable, but expanding, subsea technology business.

Kraken Robotics Bull Case Hinges On Scale Milestones

Supporters of Kraken Robotics argue that scale in high margin subsea products and services will eventually turn today’s growth spending into stronger earnings. Q2 gives some evidence that the operational side of that story is moving in the right direction. Revenue of about CA$27.3 million with a gross margin near 59% and adjusted EBITDA margin around 18% shows the existing platform already throws off healthy unit economics, even while the company is still loss making at the net level.

The bullish narrative also leans heavily on Covelya and batteries to widen the opportunity. Here, key milestones are being ticked off. The Covelya acquisition closed on July 2, 2026; guidance that includes roughly six months of its results was reaffirmed; and management now reports CA$355 million of product orders year to date, with around 10 new unmanned underwater vehicle battery OEM customers on board.

Kraken Robotics Bears Still Watching Execution Gaps

The cautious view on Kraken Robotics is that heavy build out and acquisition spending might outstrip dependable demand, leaving high fixed costs and lumpy earnings. Q2 offers mixed support for that concern. Gross margin near 59% and adjusted EBITDA margin around 18% do not yet show the margin compression bears worry about from unused capacity. However, the widening net loss of CA$7.52 million, despite solid unit economics, underlines that earnings are still absorbing high operating and integration costs.

Bears also flag timing and concentration risk in defense orders and offshore projects. Management reaffirmed full year revenue and adjusted EBITDA guidance and pointed to CA$355 million of product orders year to date. The company still relies on a back half weighted year and successful integration of Covelya to reach those numbers. With the share price down roughly 28% over 90 days, the market is treating those milestones as far from secured.
