Kodiak AI develops autonomous driving software for commercial trucking and military applications, with active U.S. Marine Corps and Army contracts and roughly 10 fully driverless trucks currently operational. The company targets a long-haul commercial launch in the second half of 2026, but the stock has fallen roughly 16% from early-February levels despite a stream of positive catalysts — including Battery Management's $124 million stake and Chardan Capital's $22 price target — reflecting persistent market skepticism about near-term execution. Today's decline deepens that pattern, with sharp peer underperformance and no new negative news to explain the selling.
