Beam Global Jumps 16% as Pending Acquisition ScoutDI Lands Nuclear Order
BEEM sits 20% above its 52-week low of $0.965 on light trading volume (0.3× avg).
Summary
ScoutDI, the Norwegian drone maker Beam Global agreed to buy on October 7 for $24 million, won an order for its Scout 137 inspection systems from a nuclear-sector customer. Customer identity and order value were not disclosed, and deployment is expected to start in Q4 2026. Shares rose about 16% in Thursday pre-market trading. The order is the first commercial validation of the acquisition since the definitive agreement, and it supports the strategic rationale for the deal. The transaction is expected to close in early November. Beam Global remains a micro-cap with a Q2 revenue base of $8.6M and a $1.8M credit-loss provision, so the market is trading the ScoutDI narrative rather than current financials. Watch the deal close in early November and any disclosure of the order's value.
