Hawkeye 360 files S‑1

HawkEye 360 has filed to go public on the New York Stock Exchange, giving public-market investors a new pure-play bet on space-based radio-frequency intelligence. (sec.gov) The Herndon, Virginia, company said on April 10 that it filed a Form S-1 with the Securities and Exchange Commission for an initial public offering under the ticker HAWK. It has not yet disclosed the number of shares or the price range. (prnewswire.com) HawkEye 360 collects radio signals from orbit, then uses software to locate and classify emitters such as radars, jammers, vessels, and communications networks. The company says it operates a constellation of 30 satellites, and Reuters reported that it serves defense, intelligence, and national security agencies. (he360.com) (finance.yahoo.com) Its filing shows a sharp financial turn. Revenue rose 74% to about $117.6 million in 2025 from $67.6 million in 2024, and net income reached about $2.6 million to $2.7 million after a roughly $29 million loss a year earlier. (finance.yahoo.com) (washingtontechnology.com) The customer base is concentrated in government work. Washington Technology reported that United States government contracts made up 61% of 2025 revenue, with the National Reconnaissance Office listed as the largest federal customer and the National Geospatial-Intelligence Agency and Space Force also named. (washingtontechnology.com) The timing follows a broader reopening in defense and space listings. Reuters said recent sector offerings have performed well, while Renaissance Capital said HawkEye 360 filed confidentially on December 23, 2025 and is now seeking to raise up to $100 million. (finance.yahoo.com) (renaissancecapital.com) The company also arrives in the public market after a debt-backed expansion. HawkEye 360 said in December 2025 that it closed the acquisition of Innovative Signal Analysis with equity and debt financing totaling $150 million, and Washington Technology reported that up to $15 million of IPO proceeds may go to a deferred payment tied to that deal. (he360.com) (washingtontechnology.com) HawkEye 360 was founded in 2015, and Chief Executive Officer John Serafini has led the company since 2016, according to the company and Washington Technology. Goldman Sachs and Morgan Stanley are leading the underwriting syndicate, alongside RBC Capital Markets, Jefferies, BofA Securities, Baird, Raymond James, and William Blair. (he360.com) (washingtontechnology.com) (renaissancecapital.com) For now, the filing puts a price tag on neither the company nor the deal. What it does show is that a satellite operator built around military and intelligence demand now wants public investors to fund its next phase. (prnewswire.com) (finance.yahoo.com)
