AUKUS is the defence partnership between Australia, the UK and the US, focused on advanced military technology and Indo-Pacific security. Pillar 2 is about capabilities like AI, cyber, quantum, hypersonics and high-tech undersea systems.
And they just announced that AUKUS will now push deeper into advanced undersea drones / UUVs. That makes this directly relevant to Kraken Robotics, imo.
The key bridge is Covelya. Through Sonardyne, EIVA, Forcys, Voyis, Chelsea and others, Kraken is no longer just a niche subsea supplier. It becomes much closer to a full-stack maritime tech platform across sonar, imaging, navigation, comms, mission software and subsea defence.
Australia and the UK already operate Kraken-related UUV ecosystems, and AUKUS could accelerate demand for exactly the kind of mission-critical hardware and software Kraken/Covelya provide.
Kraken does not need to be the prime contractor to benefit. The real opportunity is being the picks-and-shovels supplier behind multiple UUV platforms, defence primes and allied naval programs.
Bullish, but important distinction: this is not yet a direct contract announcement. It is major market validation and a strong strategic tailwind.

Overvalued as seen to profit or revenue, but people always miss the inflection-point with rapid growth companies with high gross-margin and stable fixed, unless it's SAAS.

counting backwards, we got expected revenue for q4 at 60m$.
Strong quarter, but as with all military contractors for those going by the reports the future’s hidden in a crystal ball.
Numbers and reason (future expected capex and contracts) are promising beyond sense. Won’t show up in estimates, but it’s investing with a rear-view mirror at this point. Easy mode.

Same story played twice. Excessive provisions to get ahead of the cycle follow by a few rough quarters.
Outlook rough for Q4 if valuation hadn’t already been ridiculously low. PE5 for the worst case.
Long-term:
- White-listed by all partner banks, meaning entrenched position.
- Largest capital raise yet, proving open financing path to replace narrowing channels

If you’ve follow Qfin for a while you know how institutional volume drives price. Uncertainty means the floor falls out.
Qfin is a future FinTech leader in China. Conservative accounting while expanding platform of services.
PE3 might fall to PE 5/6. Won’t matter long-term
@junkbondcharlie@jdmsparky Rumors on Chinese sites (https://t.co/uh8XIayNwC) talk about a potential 20% rate-change. Same rumor from 2023.
Still unclear though
