What's the deal? Ocean Power TechnologiesDealroom has a profile for this one.

What does the company do? The Monroe Township, New Jersey-based firm builds intelligent maritime systems for defense, offshore energy, science, and offshore wind. Its PowerBuoy platforms supply power and data for remote and subsea sites, and it also sells the WAM-V autonomous surface vehicle and Merrows software.
Why now? The raise comes as cash tightens. Cash, equivalents, and short-term investments fell from $8.7 million on April 30, 2026, to $7.4 million by July 31.
What could go wrong? The deal pairs 6 million new shares with warrants for 6 million more, creating potential further dilution. Priced on a best-efforts basis, it brings in near-term capital but no guarantee the full offering sells.
The signal: The $3 million is modest against OPT's stated growth opportunities — fiscal 2026 revenue was $4.1 million, and the company reports a record $19.8 million backlog plus a roughly $6.5 million Coast Guard program. The financing underlines the gap between promising defense-market activity and the cash a small, loss-making business needs to pursue it.
