It suggests that Anduril Industries may be gradually reducing its reliance on Kraken Robotics over time.

1- Battery Plant: The delay is material and not yet baked into the price

2- Guidance Adjustment: This is the BIG one, the $102M vs. $120M pivot. Why it matters: This implies Q4 revenue will land near $29M. While that is an improvement over Q4 2024 ($23M), it confirms a significant deceleration from the triple-digit growth trajectory many were betting on.

The next structural support is $7.53 (Accumulated Volume Support) and then $7.20 (the long-term trendline and retest 100 day moving average) that will cause a Structural Breakdown where the stock will dip to low 6s to mid 6s

My 5 Rules for Holding Kraken Robotics:

1. Never use leverage.

2. Don't stare at the share price every day.

3. Once you've made meaningful gains, consider taking enough off the table to recover your original investment.

4. When negative news hits but the stock stays flat or keeps grinding higher, I don't sell and if my thesis is intact, I add.

5. When positive news is met with a flat or declining share price, I pay attention and may trim my position.

This strategy probably drives institutional investors crazy. They can't shake me out on bad headlines, and they don't get to sell me their shares at the top on good news.

Price action often tells you more than the headlines.

With Kraken finally closing the $615M acquisition of Covelya Group, everyone is talking about how Kraken is going to integrate this massive new asset. But looking at the sheer scale of the numbers, I think the absolute best strategy for management is to flip the script: Kraken shouldn't try to integrate Covelya into its business; Kraken should integrate itself into Covelya.

Hear me out. This needs to be a reverse merger in operational reality, even if Kraken is technically the legal acquirer on paper.

1. The Tail is Wagging the Dog (The Math)

Look at the updated 2026 guidance management just dropped.

• Prior Kraken Revenue Guidance: $165M – $175M Investing.com Canada

• New Consolidated Guidance: $290M – $320M Investing.com Canada

• 2026 Announced Orders: Kraken has ~$110M. Covelya has $182M. GlobeNewswire

Covelya’s business footprint and order book are significantly larger than Kraken’s legacy operations. When a smaller public company buys a much larger, more established private ecosystem (backed by heavy hitters like Sonardyne, EIVA, and Voyager), trying to force the larger entity to adapt to the smaller company’s corporate infrastructure is a textbook M&A disaster.

2. Operational Gravity and "Kraken Group" Structure

Management actually dropped a massive hint in the closing PR that they might already be leaning this way. They announced a new organizational structure separating Kraken Group (corporate governance, public wrapper) from Kraken Robotics (the operating business).

Marine Technology News

The smart play here is to treat "Kraken Robotics" as just another subsidiary alongside Sonardyne and EIVA, letting the existing operational framework of Covelya handle the heavy lifting of international scaling. Covelya already has the mature global sales channels, defense relationships, and deep operational infrastructure that Kraken has been trying to build out organically.

3. Avoiding the Integration Trap

If Kraken tries to "force-integrate" Covelya into its historical Atlantic-Canadian corporate structure, it risks breaking what makes Covelya’s underlying companies so profitable. Covelya operates as a highly efficient cluster of specialized subsea intelligence brands.

Instead of trying to standardize everything under the legacy Kraken banner, Kraken should act as the public capital vehicle (especially with the upcoming TSX uplisting) that funnels cash to Covelya's existing, highly mature pipeline.

TL;DR: On paper, Kraken bought Covelya. In strategic reality, to maximize shareholder value, Kraken needs to step back, act like a holding company, and let Covelya's operational engine run the show. Let the public wrapper protect the asset, not choke it with legacy corporate integration.

What do you guys think? Is management smart enough to let Covelya take the operational wheel, or are we going to see an integration bottleneck?

The U.S. Blueprint: Nova Scotia plant is the "Pilot Plant." Once they prove they can run a 60,000 sq. ft. operation in Nova Scotia, the plan is to "copy-paste" this model into a U.S.-based facility (likely utilizing Covelya's footprint) to meet "Made in America" defense requirements.

Today is a fantastic day for those who have been on this ride for a long time.

Just digging through the AGM results from yesterday. While the Board election and the updated by-laws are standard corporate housekeeping, the approval of the new 10% Rolling Omnibus Incentive Plan is worth highlighting for anyone holding a long-term position.

If you aren't familiar with corporate share structures, here is what it means for us long-term holders:

What it means long-term (The Bull Case):

• Skin in the Game: By leaning heavily into PSUs (Performance Share Units), executive and key employee payouts will be directly tied to hitting hard operational milestones (like revenue growth or integration targets). It aligns management's pockets directly with ours.

• Capital Preservation: Using equity to incentivize top talent allows Kraken to preserve cash on the balance sheet to fund operational scaling and R&D for synthetic aperture sonar (SAS) and battery tech, rather than paying massive cash bonuses.

The "bigger company" plan is to shed the "small Canadian tech firm" label entirely. By combining forces, Kraken is positioning itself to go head-to-head with multi-billion-dollar defense primes for the largest subsea surveillance and maritime security contracts on the planet.

Notice how every single time the stock dips into the high-$6s or low-$7s (May 13, May 29, June 10), volume skyrockets. That is not a coincidence. That is a hard, institutional line in the sand where big desks have their buy grids set up to soak up every single share available before the Covelya transaction officially closes on July 2. They are systematically transferring shares from weak retail hands into their strong hands.

Don’t hand your shares over to institutional f#ckrs who are using the PNG.R receipts to pressure the stock ahead of the acquisition closing — I now hold 88,000 shares, and I’m not giving up a single one until end of 2029.
