NEW YORK, January 4, 2026, 07:34 ET — Market closed
Ondas Holdings Inc shares ended Friday up 12.9% at $11.02, after the company outlined plans to rename itself Ondas Inc. and said it has moved its corporate headquarters to West Palm Beach, Florida. The stock traded between $9.91 and $11.06 and was up slightly in after-hours trading. 1
The moves matter now because Ondas is trying to sharpen its identity as a defense and security technology supplier at a time when investors have been rewarding companies tied to drones, counter-drone systems and robotics.
It also comes as the company navigates near-term financing timelines, a pressure point for smaller, fast-growing firms that rely on frequent capital raises and debt rollovers.
Ondas said the name change reflects its evolution into “a scaled, global defense and security technology platform,” and it expects the change to take effect in the first quarter of 2026. “Renaming the Company to Ondas Inc. will better align our corporate identity with the operating platform we have built,” chairman and CEO Eric Brock said in a statement. 2
The company disclosed the rebrand and headquarters change in an 8-K, a type of SEC filing used to report major corporate events outside the regular quarterly reporting cycle. 3
In a separate 8-K, Ondas said its Ondas Networks unit amended the maturity date of several notes to Jan. 15, 2026. The filing listed a mix of convertible and secured notes; “convertible” debt can be repaid in cash or, under certain terms, exchanged into shares, which can dilute existing holders. 4
Friday’s surge came with heavy turnover, a sign that momentum traders are active in the name, which has seen sharp day-to-day swings.
For investors, the rebrand is less about paperwork than positioning. The company is pitching a broader defense-and-security footprint and a headquarters move it says will improve access to talent, partners and institutional capital.
Before Monday’s opening bell, traders will be watching for follow-through buying after the stock’s run-up, and for any details on how the name change will be implemented, including timing around corporate and exchange processing.
Debt deadlines are also on the near-term calendar. The Jan. 15 note maturity date puts attention on whether Ondas repays, refinances, or restructures those obligations — and whether any conversion features trigger new share issuance.
Ondas has not listed any upcoming events on its investor relations calendar, leaving the next scheduled update on results and outlook unclear. 5
The company operates in autonomous drones and counter-drone systems through its Ondas Autonomous Systems unit and sells private wireless networking equipment through Ondas Networks, according to the firm’s website. 6
