Nuburu acquires 10.7% stake in Italian software company Orbit S.r.l

• Nuburu’s stock gains 11% in premarket after acquisition update
• The stock had declined in the previous four sessions
• The acquisition will be completed in two phases, with final agreements signed by the end of 2026

Nuburu Inc.’s (BURU) stock is on track to halt a mini downtrend after its unit acquired a 10.7% stake in Italian software company Orbit S.r.l. The shares were up 11% in premarket trading on Friday, after declining in the previous four sessions.

Nuburu first announced the acquisition earlier this month, sending the stock up by more than 86%.

The transaction will be completed in two phases, with Nuburu Defense LLC investing a total of $5 million in Orbit over the next 36 months. The process began with the recently concluded $1.5 million investment, which secured the 10.7% equity stake in the company.

In the second stage, Nuburu Defense will purchase the remaining shares of Orbit at a pre-money valuation of $12.5 million, with completion targeted by December 31, 2026. Orbit expects its revenue to grow to $3.2 million in 2026, $10.8 million in 2027, and $19.3 million in 2028.

Earlier this month, Nuburu Defense and Maddox Defense signed a joint venture agreement to manufacture advanced drones for military and commercial use, intending to generate about $100 million in annual revenue by 2028.
