What the filing says
Merlin completed a Series A preferred stock financing (18.65M shares issued, $162.5M recorded as mezzanine equity as of June 30, 2026), increasing cash from $59.3M (Dec 31, 2025) to $183.9M (June 30, 2026). Q2 2026 revenue was $2.2M; GAAP net loss was $(58.4)M; Adjusted EBITDA loss was $(27.8)M. The company achieved C-130J autonomy CDR completion, first autonomous landing at Oshkosh, MOU with Israel Aerospace Industries for cargo aircraft, and SOI 3 civil certification milestone with New Zealand CAA. No debt outstanding.
Why this rating
Series A raised ~24% of current market cap; extends runway significantly. Reduces near-term cash crisis risk. Technical milestones credible but early-stage. High burn ($27.8M Adj. EBITDA loss Q2) remains concerning despite capital infusion.
