Rank One Computing (ROC) IPO Opens at $6.30, Exceeding Initial Offering Price
February 20, 2026

Rank One Computing (NASDAQ: ROC), a U.S.-based artificial intelligence company specializing in Vision AI solutions, debuted on the NASDAQ on February 19, 2026, with an opening price of $6.30 per share, surpassing its IPO price of $6.00. The stock closed its first day at $6.30, reflecting a 5% increase from the offering price. The company raised $24 million through the sale of 4 million shares, exceeding its initially stated $16.5 million target.

Founded in 2015, ROC develops biometric identification, facial recognition, and video analytics technologies for government, law enforcement, and commercial clients. Its algorithms are consistently ranked among the most accurate and computationally efficient by the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST). The company emphasizes cost efficiency, claiming its solutions outperform legacy foreign systems while requiring less computational power.

The IPO, led by underwriter The Benchmark Company, priced at the high end of its $5–$6 range. This follows an upsized offering compared to its January 12 filing, which had targeted 3 million shares. ROC's revenue and net loss for the 12 months ending September 30, 2025, were not disclosed in public filings, though the company has historically operated without external capital.

ROC's technology is deployed in over 300 million annual identity verification transactions for financial institutions and supports mission-critical operations for U.S. and international agencies. The company aims to expand into commercial markets such as access control and physical security while targeting growth in regions like the Middle East and Asia-Pacific.

With a workforce of 63 employees at IPO, ROC faces competition in a rapidly evolving AI sector. Analysts note that its focus on U.S.-built, compliant solutions positions it to capitalize on demand for secure, domestically developed technology. However, long-term success will depend on scaling commercial adoption and maintaining technological differentiation in a competitive landscape.
