NEW YORK, January 4, 2026, 04:44 ET — Market closed.
- Ondas shares last closed up 12.9% at $11.02 on Friday, with trading volume topping 136 million shares.
- The company said it plans to change its name to Ondas Inc. and has relocated its headquarters to West Palm Beach, Florida.
- SEC filings also flagged a near-term debt-maturity extension at a unit and a planned share issuance tied to a $56.6 million non-cash charge.
Ondas Holdings shares last closed up 12.9% at $11.02 on Friday, after gaining $1.26 from the prior close of $9.76, as traders digested a cluster of corporate and balance-sheet updates. About 136 million shares changed hands, according to Nasdaq data. 1
The late-week rally matters because it comes with a clearer pivot in messaging toward defense and security markets, a theme that has drawn fast-moving retail and momentum money into smaller autonomy names.
It also puts near-term attention back on the capital structure. Investors in companies with uneven cash generation tend to focus on maturities, dilution and the timing of any new equity hitting the market.
Ondas said it plans to change its corporate name to Ondas Inc. and has relocated its corporate headquarters to West Palm Beach, Florida, with the name change expected to take effect in the first quarter. “Renaming the Company to Ondas Inc. will better align our corporate identity,” Chairman and CEO Eric Brock said. 2
In a separate U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission filing — used by companies to disclose material events — Ondas said its Ondas Networks subsidiary amended the maturity date of several notes to January 15, 2026, under a letter agreement signed on December 29. The filing listed notes totaling about $8 million, including convertible notes, which are debt that can be converted into shares. 3
Another filing said Ondas exchanged notes and warrants at its Ondas Autonomous Systems unit into Ondas common stock, issuing 5.3 million shares in December and planning to issue about 2.4 million more on January 5. Ondas also said it expects to record a one-time, non-cash charge of about $56.6 million in the quarter ended December 31 tied to the exchange — an accounting expense that does not directly reduce cash but can weigh on reported earnings. 4
Ondas describes itself as a provider of autonomous systems and private wireless solutions through its Ondas Autonomous Systems and Ondas Networks units, according to a Reuters company profile. U.S.-listed peers with exposure to drones and defense autonomy include AeroVironment and Kratos Defense & Security Solutions. 5
The stock’s Friday range ran from $9.91 to $11.06 and it is within reach of its 52-week high of $11.70, data from MarketWatch showed — levels that can become focal points for short-term traders when markets reopen. 6
Before the next session on Monday, investors will watch for how the market absorbs the additional shares due to be issued on January 5 under the exchange, and whether volume stays elevated after Friday’s surge.
Debt is also in focus. The note maturities at Ondas Networks now fall on January 15, a short runway that keeps attention on refinancing options, extensions, or asset-level funding moves.
Macro data may add to volatility in rate-sensitive, high-beta names next week, with U.S. ISM manufacturing and services surveys due early in the week and the government’s December employment report scheduled for Friday. 7
