  • DroneShield Stock Forecast Weighs US Contract Win Against ASIC Probe

DroneShield Limited (ASX:DRO) shares traded at $3.09 AUD on June 2, 2026, amid mixed investor sentiment following a $24.9 million USD contract with the US military's Joint Interagency Task Force 401 for counter-drone systems.

Broker forecasts vary widely: Ord Minnett recommends 'Lighten' with a $2.28 target, reflecting expected moderation post-269% revenue growth in FY25. Investing.com averages a $2.30 target amid cautious views linked to ASIC and reduced disclosure. Yahoo Finance consensus is more optimistic at $3.72, highlighting uncertainty as DroneShield navigates contract gains against regulatory risks.
