Knightscope preliminary Q3 revenue jumps 177% YOY, misses consensus
Reported by Seeking Alpha · seekingalpha.com ·
Story context
What to watch: KSCP (KSCP) missed estimates by roughly 177% — watch for guidance cuts, which often follow a miss this size.
Latest session change: $KSCP +12.89%
How this was labelled
Seeking Alpha published it, and Wook filed it under Earnings. The wording pulls both ways — “jump” against “miss” — and the two sides cancel out, which is why it reads neutral at medium severity. It was matched to $KSCP. It carried 177%, shown as published and not recalculated. The publisher gave no preview text, and nothing has been written in to fill the gap.
When it landed
It landed before the opening bell; the next session was the first that could react.
Where the price is
$KSCP last traded at $0.62, +12.89% on the session. That is 90% below its 52-week high of $6.04 and 14% above its low of $0.54 — within a tenth of its 52-week low. The year's range spans 1023% from low to high: a very wide band for one year, the kind of volatility where large swings are routine. These are latest-session quotes, not live prices.
How much is being written
Wook has stored 1 story about $KSCP in the last 30 days, 1 of them this week. At the 30-day pace you would expect about 0 a week, so this week is running well ahead of normal — something has drawn extra attention. Across those stories the wording ran 0% bullish, 100% neutral and 0% bearish; this one reads neutral, so it sits with the majority of the run. This is the only one from Seeking Alpha; the rest came from other outlets. 12 of them are listed beside this one.
The backdrop
Earnings stories turn less on the headline numbers than on how they compare with what analysts expected and on guidance for the next quarter; a beat with weak guidance can land worse than a miss with a raised outlook. On Wook's supply-chain scanner, Industrials reads calm today — no unusual stress in the filings and disclosures it reads.

Where to look next
The $KSCP page has the full chart, the filings and the valuation model behind these figures. Because one outlet dominates the coverage, reading another outlet on the same story is the quickest check on whether it is being confirmed or just repeated. Wook AI, above, can pull live figures and do the math — how far $KSCP is from its high, or how this week's coverage compares — on request.
What this page is not saying
The tone and severity labels come from a fixed word list — no editor, no AI — so they describe how a story is worded, not what happens next. They are not a forecast or a recommendation, and a same-day move does not mean this story caused it. Not investment advice.
