Nauticus Robotics shares jump 42.95% premarket after Trump administration announces robotics industry support initiatives.

Nauticus Robotics Inc. (KITT) surged 42.95% in premarket trading following reports that the Trump administration is advancing initiatives to boost the U.S. robotics industry. News outlets highlighted that Commerce Secretary Howard Lutnick has engaged with robotics company CEOs to accelerate sector growth, with the government considering a 2026 executive order to formalize support. The move aligns with broader market enthusiasm for robotics stocks, as seen in Hong Kong-listed peers like Ubtech Robotics and Dobot, and reflects optimism over policy-driven expansion in advanced manufacturing. The premarket rally was attributed to speculation about regulatory and financial incentives for the sector, directly benefiting KITT, a Texas-based robotics firm.
