2026-01-14: red flag filed

Open-market purchases and sales (Form 4 codes P and S) by officers, directors and 10% owners, by transaction date, from 2025-10-16 to 2026-02-13. Excludes option exercises, grants, gifts and tax withholding. Amended filings replace the originals; joint filings count once. Foreign private issuers do not file Form 4. Many insider sales are pre-scheduled (10b5-1 plans) and are not by themselves a sign of wrongdoing.

Verified excerpt

"Changes in Registrant's Certifying Accountant Effective as of January 14, 2026, Nukkleus Inc., a Delaware corporation (the "Company"), dismissed GreenGrowth CPAs ("GreenGrowth") as the independent registered public accounting firm engaged to audit the Company's financial statements."

Quoted from the filing. Source

What this means

The company changed its outside auditor (8-K Item 4.01). A dismissal or resignation, especially near an annual report or with reported disagreements, is a warning sign. Changes caused by audit firms merging are usually routine.

Type: dismissed
Disagreements reported: no
Former auditor: GreenGrowth CPAs

Why this score: also within 90 days: Going-concern doubt
