KSCP: Recurring Security Contracts And Autonomous Patrols Will Support Future Performance

Analysts have modestly adjusted their price outlook on Knightscope, citing small changes in the discount rate, revenue growth expectations, profit margin assumptions and a slightly lower future P/E multiple. Together, these factors fine tune rather than overhaul their previous valuation and do not imply a clear directional shift in the target in US$ terms.
