Nukkleus shares surge 11.55% after-hours following $10M private placement for expansion announced September 5.

Nukkleus surged 11.55% in after-hours trading following the announcement of a $10 million private placement to fund expansion. The at-the-market offering, disclosed on September 5, 2025, signals enhanced capital flexibility and strategic growth focus, aligning with recent defense and aerospace sector initiatives. Earlier news of a $14 million acquisition of Tiltan Software and a joint venture with Mandragola in August 2025 also underscored the company’s expansion into advanced defense technologies, but the immediate catalyst for the after-hours jump was the newly announced private placement.
