Ondas Holdings (ONDS) stock ticks higher premarket as name-change plan and January catalysts take center stage

New York, Jan 5, 2026, 06:46 ET — Premarket

  • ONDS was up about 2% in premarket trade after a nearly 13% rally on Friday.
  • The company said it plans to rename itself Ondas Inc. and has moved its headquarters to West Palm Beach, Florida.
  • SEC filings highlight a Jan. 5 share issuance tied to exchange agreements and a Jan. 15 note-maturity extension at a subsidiary.

Ondas Holdings Inc shares rose 1.8% in premarket trading on Monday to $11.22, after climbing 12.9% on Friday to close at $11.02.

The move matters because the small-cap stock has become a high-beta proxy for investor appetite around defense, security and autonomous systems, where contract headlines and capital-structure moves can quickly swing sentiment.

This week brings two near-term dates investors are keying on: a scheduled share issuance that could lift trading supply, and a mid-January debt maturity for a subsidiary after the company negotiated more time.

Ondas said on Friday 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 with the operating platform we have built,” Chairman and CEO Eric Brock said. Ondas Holdings Inc.

A separate filing showed Ondas Networks, a subsidiary, amended the maturity date — the repayment deadline — on a group of notes to Jan. 15, 2026. The filing outlined roughly $8 million in original principal across the notes, including secured and convertible instruments.

Another filing showed Ondas plans to issue about 2.39 million shares on Jan. 5 under exchange agreements tied to its Ondas Autonomous Systems unit, after issuing about 5.30 million shares in December. The company also said it expected to record a one-time, non-cash charge of about $56.6 million related to the exchange, meaning the impact is accounting-based rather than an immediate cash outflow.

In a related prospectus supplement filed under SEC Rule 424(b)(7) — a filing that registers shares for resale by existing holders — Ondas registered 5,299,482 shares for potential resale by selling stockholders connected to those exchange agreements. The filing also described daily trading-volume limits that restrict how quickly those holders can sell into the market.

Peers in the defense-drone and counter-drone orbit were also firmer in early trading, a backdrop that has helped keep speculative money rotating through smaller names with security exposure.

But the setup carries clear risks: added shares and resale registrations can weigh on prices if selling accelerates, while the Jan. 15 maturity date keeps attention on liquidity and refinancing. Thin floats can amplify both upside and downside when volume spikes.
