Ondas Holdings Inc. (ONDS) is one of those echo-makers today. Shares are trading around $8.56, down roughly $0.57 (about -6%) on the session, after opening near $9.10 and printing an intraday range of about $8.55 to $9.18, with volume over 24 million shares. That downside move is happening against a mostly subdued broader market backdrop: large-cap ETFs are near flat-to-slightly-down (SPY), tech

Dec. 23, 2025 — Huntington Ingalls Industries, Inc. (NYSE: HII) is having one of those “the market just re-priced the story” days.
