Cycurion shares surge 50.24% after-hours as $80M+ contract backlog and $4.2M Q1 2026 revenue forecast boost growth optimism.

Cycurion surged 50.24% in after-hours trading following the release of its Q3 2025 results, which highlighted a strategic pivot to higher-margin government contracts, an $80 million+ contract backlog, and a forecasted Q1 2026 run-rate revenue of $4.2 million. The company emphasized investments in AI-driven cybersecurity, talent, and technology, which it claims are expanding margins and unlocking long-term growth. CEO Kevin Kelly stated the current $9.5 million market cap underrepresents the intrinsic value of its contract backlog and AI platform. Despite Q3 revenue declining 13.9% year-over-year and a $3.24 million net loss, the stock rallied on optimism around future revenue acceleration, strengthened balance sheet metrics (cash up to $3.65 million), and new contracts with federal agencies and Fortune 500 partners. The move reflects investor confidence in the company’s transition to sustainable, recurring revenue streams and its AI innovation roadmap.
