A biweekly digest of AI-related disclosures pulled directly from SEC filings, with links to each document.

Cisco: Q1 FY2027 revenue, non-GAAP operating margin and EPS all beat the high end of guidance. CEO Chuck Robbins called it Cisco's strongest revenue and non-GAAP EPS growth in over 15 years, explicitly attributing it to an early-stage, multi-year networking supercycle driven by the "agentic AI era" — a notable downstream infrastructure signal from a networking hardware vendor.
Nexxen International: the ad-tech firm used "agentic AI" in a 6-K for the first time, describing live in-platform agents across reporting, QA, audience intelligence, incremental spend analysis and campaign troubleshooting in customer workflows.
BTCS: the blockchain infrastructure company also made its first agentic AI mention, framing AI agents as a future demand driver for on-chain liquidity as agents autonomously transact and pay on tokenized rails.
System1: the AI-marketing platform behind CouponFollow, MapQuest and Startpage is voluntarily delisting from the NYSE to the OTCQB Venture Market, citing listing costs.
HubSpot: announced a CFO transition and CEO succession; outgoing CEO Yamini Rangan's AI-infused tenure grew revenue from $1.3B to an expected $3.7B and customers from 135K to 311K+.
Deep Isolation Nuclear: selected as sole industrial partner on three DOE Project GENESIS grants for AI-enabled nuclear waste repository analysis.
