- Trailing 12‑month revenue: ~C$101.9 million
- Trailing EPS: ~C$0.06
- Trailing P/E: ~90x
- Forward P/E: ~64x
- Price‑to‑sales: about 16x based on current market cap and trailing sales. [5]
These multiples suggest that a lot of future growth is already priced in — making execution on Kraken’s strategy critical.
Record Q3 2025: 60% revenue growth and rising margins
The key catalyst for today’s move was Kraken’s record Q3 2025 financial report, released before the market open. [6]
Top‑line acceleration
For the quarter ended September 30, 2025, Kraken reported:
- Revenue: C$31.3 million, up from roughly C$19.6 million a year earlier — about 60% year‑over‑year growth. [7]
- This performance topped earlier quarters in 2025 and reflects both organic growth and contributions from the company’s recent acquisition of subsea LiDAR specialist 3D at Depth.
Breaking revenue down:
- Product revenue: increased 46% to C$18.3 million, driven by record shipments of SeaPower™ subsea batteries and synthetic aperture sonar (SAS) systems.
- Service revenue: jumped 85% to C$13.0 million, helped by growth in sub‑bottom imaging services and the addition of 3D at Depth’s subsea LiDAR operations. [8]
Profitability and margins
Profitability also moved in the right direction:
- Gross profit: C$18.6 million, up 81% from C$10.3 million in Q3 2024.
- Gross margin: improved to 59%, compared with 52% a year earlier, thanks to a richer mix of higher‑margin products and services. [9]
On an adjusted basis:
- Adjusted EBITDA: C$8.0 million, up 92% from C$4.1 million in the prior‑year quarter.
- Adjusted EBITDA margin: approximately 25.5%, versus about 21.2% in Q3 2024. [10]
Net income also moved higher:
- Net income: C$3.3 million vs. C$1.6 million a year ago.
- GAAP EPS: unchanged at C$0.01, with share count higher following this year’s equity financing. [11]
For the first nine months of 2025, Kraken generated C$73.8 million in revenue (up from C$63.2 million in the same period of 2024), though cumulative net income is lower year‑to‑date as the company invests heavily in growth and integrates acquisitions. [12]
Guidance reaffirmed, capex guidance raised
Despite macro uncertainty, Kraken reaffirmed its full‑year 2025 financial guidance:
- Revenue: C$120–135 million
- Adjusted EBITDA: C$26–34 million
At the midpoint, management is still targeting roughly 40% revenue growth and about 45% adjusted EBITDA growth for 2025 versus 2024. [13]
The company did, however, raise its capital expenditure guidance:
- Previous 2025 capex range: C$13–17 million
- New 2025 capex range:C$20–21 million
Most of this stepped‑up investment is going into:
- New and expanded subsea power manufacturing facilities for its SeaPower batteries
- Additional internal marine assets to support Kraken’s growing services portfolio. [14]
Kraken’s balance sheet appears well‑positioned to handle these investments. Following a C$115 million bought‑deal equity financing completed in July 2025, the company ended Q3 with:
- Total assets: ~C$330.7 million (vs. C$101.2 million a year earlier)
- Cash: ~C$126.6 million (vs. C$14.9 million)
- Working capital: ~C$193.9 million (vs. C$43.2 million) [15]
This sizeable cash position gives Kraken a buffer to fund expansion, integrate acquisitions and pursue new contracts without immediately needing more equity capital — a key point for shareholders concerned about dilution.
Strategic growth drivers: defense, UUVs and subsea LiDAR
Today’s results highlight several structural growth drivers behind PNG.V:
1. Rising defense demand for uncrewed underwater vehicles
Kraken’s CEO emphasized that record Q3 financials are being driven by growing adoption of uncrewed underwater vehicles (UUVs) by navies worldwide, as they modernize fleets and look for more cost‑effective ways to enhance maritime security. [16]
Kraken’s core technologies — synthetic aperture sonar, sub‑bottom imaging, and subsea batteries — are increasingly embedded in these UUV platforms, positioning the company as a key supplier into a multiyear defense investment cycle.
2. Expansion into subsea LiDAR with 3D at Depth
In 2025, Kraken moved aggressively into subsea LiDAR imaging through its acquisition of U.S.‑based 3D at Depth Inc., a specialist in high‑resolution underwater LiDAR and survey services. The deal, valued at roughly US$17 million, closed around April 2025 and expanded Kraken’s presence in the U.S. Gulf of Mexico and other offshore energy markets. [17]
By late September, 3D at Depth had been fully rebranded under the Kraken Robotics name, providing clients a unified suite of sonar, LiDAR and battery solutions across defense, offshore energy and marine research segments. [18]
3. Growing order book for sonar and subsea batteries
Earlier this year, Kraken announced C$13 million in new orders for synthetic aperture sonar and subsea batteries, with customers in the United States, Norway and Turkey, including a single order for 10 SAS units. [19]
Those orders are beginning to show up in the quarterly numbers and help explain the sharp year‑over‑year revenue jump and improved margin mix in Q3.
How the market values Kraken Robotics stock
With the share price around C$5.39, investors are clearly assigning Kraken a premium growth multiple:
- Market cap: ~C$1.6–1.7 billion
- Trailing revenue: ~C$101.9 million
- TTM P/S: ~16x
- TTM P/E: ~90x; forward P/E in the mid‑60s range. [20]
These levels are high compared with many traditional industrial and defense names, but they’re not unusual for a smaller‑cap company pursuing a fast‑growing niche (uncrewed underwater systems, subsea sensing and LiDAR), especially after delivering multiple quarters of revenue beats and strong guidance. [21]
Kraken’s share count has risen in 2025 due to its bought‑deal financing and earlier follow‑on offerings, which means per‑share metrics like EPS and free cash flow will need to grow meaningfully for the stock to sustain — or expand — its valuation over time. [22]
Analyst sentiment on PNG.V
According to data compiled by MarketScreener, Kraken carries a consensus “Outperform” rating from six covering analysts, with an average target price of about C$6.04. That implies low‑teens percentage upside from the recent share price, depending on the reference close. [23]
In September, National Bank of Canada reiterated its Outperform rating on Kraken Robotics and raised its price target to C$5, a move that coincided with a series of target increases from other firms as the company continued to beat revenue expectations and secure new orders. [24]
Independent research platforms have also highlighted Kraken’s rapid multi‑year share price appreciation and its status as one of the stronger performers on the TSX Venture Exchange, noting the combination of high growth, expanding gross margins and a strategic position in defense‑related technologies. [25]
Risks and what investors should watch next
Despite the strong headline numbers, PNG.V is not without risk:
- Execution and integration risk: Kraken is integrating 3D at Depth while simultaneously expanding manufacturing capacity and investing heavily in new facilities. Any misstep could weigh on margins or delay growth. [26]
- Dependence on defense and offshore energy budgets: Many of Kraken’s customers are governments or major energy companies; shifts in defense spending priorities or energy project timelines could affect demand. [27]
- Capital intensity and dilution: The company’s increased capex guidance and recent equity financings underscore that Kraken’s growth model requires significant capital. Future raises could dilute existing shareholders if not accompanied by strong value creation. [28]
- Valuation risk: With P/E and P/S multiples at elevated levels, any disappointment in execution, orders, or margins could lead to outsized share‑price volatility. [29]
Looking ahead, investors will likely focus on:
- Progress integrating 3D at Depth and expanding LiDAR‑driven service revenue
- Additional large sonar and subsea battery orders from NATO and allied navies
- The pace of ramp‑up at new subsea power facilities
- Whether Kraken can sustain gross margins near or above 60% while scaling. [30]
Bottom line: PNG.V after today’s earnings
On November 24, 2025, Kraken Robotics delivered exactly what growth‑oriented investors wanted to see:
- Record Q3 revenue and earnings, with strong double‑digit growth
- Improving margins and robust adjusted EBITDA
- Reaffirmed 2025 guidance despite a more challenging macro backdrop
- A strengthened balance sheet capable of funding ambitious expansion plans. [31]
The stock’s modest gain today may reflect how much optimism was already priced into PNG.V after its huge run over the past year. For investors watching from the sidelines, Kraken now stands out as a high‑growth, high‑valuation play on subsea defense and offshore infrastructure — one that could benefit from structural trends in naval modernization and energy, but that also carries the typical risks of small‑cap, capital‑intensive technology businesses.
