Why Is NUKK Stock Rising Pre-Market Today?

• Nimbus specializes in unmanned aerial systems and related services.
• The convertible note used for the acquisition has a 24-month maturity period.
• The addition of Nimbus strengthens Nukkleus’s footprint in unmanned aerial systems.

Nukkleus (NUKK) shares rose 3% in premarket trading on Friday, but pared some of the gains after the opening bell, as the company completed the acquisition of Nimbus Drones Technologies and Marketing, an Israeli company specializing in unmanned aerial systems and related services.

The transaction was completed through the issuance of 1.85 million shares of Nukkleus common stock and a $3.25 million convertible note with a 24-month maturity. The note is convertible at a fixed price of $2.00 per share.

“The unmanned aerial systems sector continues to see significant demand globally, and Nimbus’s expertise in both UAV operations and counter-UAS technology positions them well in this market,” said Menny Shalom, CEO of Nukkleus

Growth Strategy

Nukkleus’ growth strategy includes acquisition of specialized businesses across the defense, aerospace, and advanced manufacturing industries, with a focus on mid-tier suppliers in United States, Israel, and Europe. 

The addition of Nimbus strengthens Nukkleus’s footprint in unmanned aerial systems, expanding offerings to include drone sales and maintenance, aerial mapping and imaging, defense training simulations, counter-drone research, and pilot training programs.
