Cerberus Cyber Sentinel (NASDAQ:CISO) stock is rocketing higher on Tuesday following the release of preliminary earnings data and the announcement of a new investment.

Starting with that earnings news, the company expects revenue for its fourth quarter of 2022 to come in at $14.7 million. However, that would see it missing Wall Street’s estimate of $16.52 million for the quarter. Even if it is a 150% increase year-over-year.

The other big news from Cerberus Cyber Sentinel is a purchase agreement with Hensley & Company. This saw it sell a $5 million 10% Unsecured Convertible Note to Hensley.

That note is payable, alongside its interest, on March 20, 2025. The agreement allows Hensley & Company to convert the note to shares of CISO stock with a conversion rate of $1.20 per share rather than collect the debt.

Cerberus Cyber Sentinel already has plans for the $5 million it’s secured from the note sale. It will use these funds to pay back the $5 million 4% promissory note it sold to Bell Bank in June 2022.
