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.
