Kraken Robotics is the subsystem prime for underwater drones, putting $3-5 million of content per hull in reach as Anduril and navies scale uncrewed fleets. Its offering spans batteries, sonar and navigation via Covelya/Sonardyne. Funds that bought near CAD $2 two years ago have spent four months clearing their positions, and that selling is mostly past. x.com  x.com  x.com 

Coda Octopus offers real exposure to Iran mining the Strait of Hormuz because its Echoscope sonar maps mines in pitch-black water, unlike names bought merely for being in the news. It beat expectations, with EPS of $0.08 versus $0.06 and revenue of $6.71 million versus $6.23 million, and every business unit grew. It is a profitable micro-cap with 66.5% gross margins and zero debt. x.com 

Kraken Robotics' customer base is broadening, and on its earnings call it said it just landed one of the largest US defense companies as a customer, unnamed. It announced $28 million of SeaPower battery and SAS orders, including battery contracts from three large international defense companies and a SAS order from a new commercial UUV maker. CEO Greg Reid said its products are integrated, or being integrated, into more than 30 UUV platform types worldwide. x.com  x.com  x.com 

Anduril's purchase of acoustic-modem maker Popoto Modem signals it plans to build its undersea fleet at scale, and more hulls mean more Kraken Robotics batteries. Kraken has supplied pressure-tolerant batteries to the Dive line since 2020 and reportedly powers Ghost Shark and Copperhead; Anduril's Rhode Island plant targets 200+ Dive LD vehicles a year, and qualifying a new battery takes years. Retail owns 79.6% of shares; a TSX uplisting by early 2027 or a US listing could draw institutions. … Show more

Kraken Robotics' new $35M of orders is huge news, and the stock still looks extremely cheap as a direct beneficiary of conflict in the Strait of Hormuz, after falling well below its March all-time high. CEO Greg Reid says its product portfolio, used across crewed and uncrewed defense and commercial platforms, should make up over 75% of 2026 revenue. x.com  x.com 

Kraken Robotics and Ondas Holdings face weak demand prospects: it is hard to see how many battery-powered submarines Taiwan or Europe will actually order. x.com 

Kraken Robotics is evolving from a small sonar supplier into a global subsea defense platform and should do well heading into Anduril's eventual IPO. Catalysts over the next 6-12 months include closing the $615M Covelya acquisition with updated guidance, Anduril's July Navy CAMP Dive-XL demonstration, possible NATO subsea spending pledges, new battery capacity and contracts in H2 2026, and EU cable-security funding in Q4. Integration, dilution, debt and back-half revenue are the risks. x.com 

Small-cap defense stocks such as Red Cat, AEVEX and Kraken Robotics look like buying opportunities after a sell-the-news drop following the Iran strikes, because the thesis has only gotten stronger. The U.S. lacks enough drones, interceptors, mine-hunting technology and critical metals, and a proposed $1.5 trillion defense budget should bring a wave of fresh contracts as it advances. The Iran war is a major catalyst even though Lockheed, Kratos and Red Cat have fallen 15-19% in a month. x.com 

Kraken Robotics makes subsea sensors and batteries for underwater drones, including synthetic aperture sonar and SeaPower batteries, and NATO navies are already deploying its technology. The ocean is the next contested domain. x.com 

Defense and drone stocks have been oversold even though their fundamentals have not changed. Ondas offers explosive growth and counter-drone exposure, Kratos has Valkyrie and hypersonics, AeroVironment has Switchblade and Army contracts, Unusual Machines has leverage to drone components, and Red Cat has Army wins and NDAA-compliant drones. x.com
