Datavault AI Inc (NASDAQ:DVLT) stock gained premarket on Monday as it accelerated its push to scale AI-powered edge infrastructure while expanding into sports and digital engagement. The stock gave up all its gain in the regular trading session.
Ambitious Revenue Goal
Datavault AI plans to operate a nationwide edge network of more than 100 nodes across 33 U.S. cities, with revenue generation expected to begin in the second half of 2026.
The company is targeting $400 million to $500 million in project-related revenue, supporting its $200 million revenue guidance for 2026.
It is worth noting that analysts anticipate fiscal 2026 revenue of just $45 million.
With full deployment across more than 100 cities, Datavault AI projects revenue of $2.0 billion to $3.0 billion in 2027.
The company said that activation of edge networks in New York and Philadelphia positions Datavault AI to capture meaningful share across high-value verticals.
These early deployments serve as anchor markets within the company's broader national rollout strategy.
Through its partnership with Available Infrastructure, Datavault AI is deploying GPU-powered SanQtum AI edge platforms that integrate directly with its Information Data Exchange, DataScore, and DataValue technologies.
Looking ahead, Datavault AI expects to expand this infrastructure nationwide in 2026.
Sports, Web3 And Market Momentum
Beyond infrastructure, Datavault AI wrapped up Dream Bowl XIV by combining collegiate football, tokenized memorabilia, and digital fan engagement in a first-of-its-kind event.
In January, NFL Alumni greats live-autographed 100 footballs and 500 jerseys, which will be distributed by lottery to eligible Dream Bowl Meme Coin holders beginning February 1 and later tradable on the upcoming International NIL Exchange.
The event showcased 70 college athletes to NFL, USFL, and European league scouts, awarded $25,000 in esports scholarships to Dream Bowl Madden and team esports champions, and reached a national audience via ESPN+.
By using its AI and blockchain platforms to tokenize autographs and fan experiences, Datavault AI demonstrated how Web3 technology can create new revenue streams for athletes while deepening fan engagement.
The stock gained 14% year-to-date but lost over 45% in the last 12 months.
DVLT Price Action: Datavault AI shares were down 5.46% at $0.87 at the time of publication on Monday, according to Benzinga Pro data.
