Kraken Robotics (TSXV:PNG) Could Be 58% Undervalued On Acquisition Fueled Growth Views

Simply Wall St · 2d ago

Recent commentary on Kraken Robotics (TSXV:PNG) has focused on expectations for meaningful free cash flow by the late 2020s and its potential undervaluation, particularly as acquisitions such as 3D at Depth and Covelya Group expand its technology reach.

For investors watching the tape, Kraken Robotics has had a choppy stretch, with the 7 day share price return down 10% and the 90 day share price return down 32.27%, even though the 5 year total shareholder return sits at a very large gain. Recent attention on acquisitions such as 3D at Depth and the planned Covelya Group deal has pushed the focus back onto whether the current CA$4.05 share price, along with a year to date share price return down 40.35%, still lines up with those long run cash flow expectations.

A stock that has fallen more than 40% year to date can look either broken or interesting. For Kraken Robotics at CA$4.05, which side of that risk reward line are you really on as valuation math comes into focus next?

Most Popular Narrative: 58% Undervalued

On the most followed view, Kraken Robotics is priced at CA$4.05 against a narrative fair value of about CA$9.58. This puts a lot of weight on how its subsea defence and offshore energy exposure plays out.

The acquisitions of 3D at Depth and the expected addition of Covelya Group broaden Kraken Robotics technology coverage across sonar, navigation, positioning and LiDAR. This can support cross selling to shared defense and commercial customers and influence consolidated revenue and adjusted EBITDA margins as higher margin products and services scale.

See why 35 investors see Kraken Robotics as 58% undervalued.

Result: Fair Value of CA$9.58 (UNDERVALUED)

Still, the Kraken Robotics story can be knocked off course if defense procurement for mine countermeasure systems slows or if integrating 3D at Depth and Covelya proves more complicated than expected.
