Wall Street Is Missing This One: Cycurion (NAS DAQ: CYCU) Gets $7 Price Target While Trading at a Steep Discount
Washingtoner/10316228

MCLEAN, Va. - Washingtoner -- Cycurion, Inc. (NAS DAQ: CYCU) $CYCU is a textbook example of a micro-cap security stock trading far below its strategic and financial reality—and the disconnect is now being called out by independent research.

On January 23, Litchfield Hills Research initiated coverage on $CYCU with a Buy rating and a $7.00 price target, pointing to what it described as a "steep and unwarranted discount." For context, Cycurion's market capitalization sits near $10.7 million, a fraction of what many pre-revenue cybersecurity peers command—despite CYCU having real customers, real contracts, and real cash flow visibility.

Even at the $7 target, Litchfield Hills estimates CYCU would trade at just 2.9x projected 2026 revenue, compared to a 9.0x peer average. That's not a modest valuation gap—it's a valuation failure.

$80M+ Backlog, Government-Grade Clients, and AI at the Core

Cycurion is not selling theoretical cybersecurity. The company protects mission-critical systems for some of the most complex and demanding organizations in the world, including the U.S. Department of Defense, Defense Intelligence Agency, Department of Homeland Security, U.S. Navy, and Fortune 100 and 500 enterprises.

This level of trust is earned—not marketed.

Founded by internet pioneer Emmit McHenry, who directly oversaw the earliest internet protocols and the creation of .com domains, Cycurion brings institutional credibility that few micro-caps can claim. The result is an expanding contract base and a backlog now exceeding $80 million, giving investors rare forward revenue visibility at this valuation level.

AI-Infused Cybersecurity Built for Modern Threats

Cycurion's flagship ARx™ platform is a unified, multi-layer cybersecurity solution designed for today's AI-powered threat landscape. Unlike traditional tools that rely on hardware or invasive cloud installations, ARx wraps around digital assets, inspecting every request and response in real time.

Malicious activity is identified, logged, and blocked before it ever reaches the asset—all while keeping customer IP completely private.

CYCU was also one of the first companies to directly marry AI and cybersecurity, a strategic advantage that is becoming increasingly valuable as attack vectors grow more automated, faster, and more sophisticated.

Accretive Acquisition Adds Revenue, Backlog, and Cross-Sell Firepower

On January 22, Cycurion announced an MOU to acquire the video solutions division of Kustom Entertainment, Inc., a pioneer in body-worn cameras, in-car video systems, and digital evidence management for law enforcement and public safety agencies.

The proposed transaction is valued between $6.0–$8.4 million, structured primarily with preferred stock—preserving cash while delivering immediate scale.

Management expects the acquisition to:

• Add approximately $5.1 million in annual revenue
• Contribute $8.0 million in secured backlog
• Drive roughly 35% revenue growth in 2026 vs. 2025
• Unlock bundled offerings combining video, AI analytics, and cybersecurity

Kustom's footprint spans all 50 U.S. states and more than 30 countries, giving Cycurion instant access to thousands of law enforcement and public safety customers—many of whom are natural buyers of integrated cybersecurity solutions.

Cycurion is also backing its growth story with capital discipline and third-party validation:

This is not promotional noise—this is execution.

Revenue Inflection Is Already Underway

While CYCU's Q3 2025 results reflected a deliberate pivot toward higher-margin SLED contracts, forward indicators point to clear acceleration:

• Q1 2026 run-rate revenue projected at ~$4.17 million
• Annualized run-rate of ~$16.66 million
• Rapid scaling contracts, including a 10x increase in monthly revenue from the SLG Innovation deal in just 60 days

Management's investments in talent and technology are now showing up where it matters: backlog, visibility, and run-rate growth.

The Setup: Deep Value Meets Strategic Momentum

Cycurion checks boxes that investors usually don't find together at this market cap:

• Government-grade customers
• Proprietary AI cybersecurity platform
• $80M+ backlog and expanding pipeline
• Accretive M&A with minimal cash outlay
• Independent Buy rating with a $7 target

If CYCU were valued even halfway toward peer multiples, the stock would trade materially higher. For investors willing to look beyond size and focus on substance, Cycurion represents a high-conviction asymmetric opportunity in cybersecurity and AI.
