July 6, 2026, 2:22 PM EDT. KIDZ AI Inc. (NASDAQ: KIDZ) soared 82% to $1.24 Monday, seeing volume spike to 160.6 million shares-about 78 times its outstanding shares as of June 24. The stock move came as the company said it plans to roll out its KIDZBot AI robotics tool commercially in H2 2026 and announced a 2026 EdTechX Award win. KIDZ also revealed a $100 million equity deal with Chardan Capital Markets that could drive heavy dilution if shares are sold. While volume outpaced Chardan's registered resale shares, there were no confirmed sales since registration was only preliminary. KIDZ's CEO called the KIDZBot launch a milestone. The company still doesn't have analyst ratings or price targets.
