A Look At Kraken Robotics (TSXV:PNG) Valuation After New Orders Guidance Update And Board Leadership Change

Kraken Robotics (TSXV:PNG) has drawn fresh attention after releasing full year 2025 results, issuing 2026 revenue guidance of $165 million to $175 million, announcing $28 million in new orders, and confirming a board leadership change.

Despite the strong flow of news, the 1 day share price return of 5.45% and 30 day share price return of a 10.92% decline suggest near term momentum has cooled, while the 1 year total shareholder return of 240% and very large 3 and 5 year total shareholder returns point to longer term strength.

If this mix of growth contracts and defence technology interests you, it could be worth scanning for other robotics and automation names using the 35 robotics and automation stocks.

So with Kraken trading at CA$8.16, sitting below an analyst price target of CA$11.13 but close to an estimated intrinsic value, are you looking at an underappreciated robotics player or a market that is already pricing in future growth?

Preferred Price-to-Sales of 24.5x: Is it justified?

On a P/S of 24.5x at a last close of CA$8.16, Kraken Robotics sits well above both its electronics peers and the wider North American industry.

The P/S multiple compares the company’s market value to its revenue, which can be useful for businesses where earnings are still developing. For Kraken, revenue of CA$102.21 million and a market cap of about CA$2.65b mean investors are currently paying a high price for each dollar of sales.

Analysts are forecasting strong annual revenue and earnings growth. Yet the current P/S of 24.5x is materially higher than the industry average of 2.8x and the peer average of 18.1x. It is also above an estimated fair P/S of 16.9x, a level the market could move toward if expectations and results start to realign.

Result: Price-to-sales of 24.5x (OVERVALUED)

However, the recent 11% 30 day share price decline and a P/S well above industry peers leave little room if defence contracts slow or if earnings progress disappoints.

Another view on value: what the DCF says

While the 24.5x P/S suggests Kraken Robotics is richly valued, the SWS DCF model takes a different angle. On this view, the shares at CA$8.16 sit just above an estimated future cash flow value of CA$7.99, which points to a small premium rather than an extreme stretch.

This raises a useful question for you: is the market paying up for growth that will be backed by cash flows, or has enthusiasm already gone a step too far?

Look into how the SWS DCF model arrives at its fair value.
