Ondas Inc. Stock Back in Focus After Rotron SkyLance Drone Test

Ondas Inc. Stock Back in Focus After Rotron SkyLance Drone Test

Rotron, the UK defense wing that Ondas Inc. just picked up, has wrapped up a firing demo for its SkyLance project. The system—a so-called “one-way effector,” basically a drone engineered for single-use, targeted strikes—adds some momentum for the Nasdaq-listed Ondas ahead of its Q1 earnings, coming later Thursday. Ondas is under pressure to prove that its recent defense buyouts will actually yield deployable products, funded contracts, and real revenue. The company bulked up its autonomous-systems lineup while expanding further into military sectors in the US, UK, and allied nations—now investors want to see tangible results.

Red Cat Stock Sinks as Discounted $225 Million Sale Tests Drone Boom Thesis

Red Cat Stock Sinks as Discounted $225 Million Sale Tests Drone Boom Thesis

Red Cat Holdings shares slipped ahead of Wednesday’s open after the company priced a new stock offering at $9.40 per share—well under Tuesday’s $11.03 close. Traders responded fast, pulling the stock down to match the deal terms instead of the drone-demand narrative that previously drove gains. That’s what’s driving the decision here. Selling stock at a discount brings in quick funding for a company like this that’s racing to expand, but it also leaves existing shareholders facing immediate dilution, with any benefits from new facilities, deals, or orders potentially far off. Underwriters picked up an option to grab another 3.59 million shares from Red Cat, so dilution could go even further.

Ondas Stock (ONDS) Falls as 3.36 Million-Share Filing Clouds Europe Drone-Defense Push

Ondas shares pointed down early Thursday, with the latest Nasdaq print at $10.83 at 9:28 a.m. ET—a drop of roughly 3.9% from their previous close. This comes on the heels of a March 18 filing linked to the Bird Aerosystems buyout, which registered shares for resale. Ondas is also set to report its final 2025 numbers in less than a week, after already telling investors its preliminary revenue beat what it projected back in January. The company kept its 2026 revenue target unchanged at $170 million to $180 million, not factoring in possible new deals.

Swarmer Stock Surges Again After IPO as Ukraine-Tested Drone Software Draws Wall Street

Swarmer Stock Surges Again After IPO as Ukraine-Tested Drone Software Draws Wall Street

Swarmer shares soared 77% to finish at $55 on Wednesday, piling onto Tuesday’s explosive Nasdaq debut. The drone-autonomy software outfit—backed by Erik Prince—had already rocketed 520% above its $5 IPO price on day one. With its two-session rally, the Austin company now ranks among the year’s hottest new U.S. listings, rivaling Newsmax’s splashy debut last year. This shift is significant: investors now see battle-proven autonomy software as its own defense play, rather than simply a feature built into drone hardware. Shares are climbing as conflicts in Ukraine and the Middle East boost the need for cost-effective unmanned gear and code. Another factor—Washington is cracking down on foreign-made drones sold in the U.S.

Red Cat Holdings Stock Swings After Pentagon Drone Results Cool Rally Ahead of March 18 Earnings

Red Cat Holdings Stock Swings After Pentagon Drone Results Cool Rally Ahead of March 18 Earnings

Red Cat Holdings shares whipsawed Monday, losing ground after a public Drone Dominance leaderboard named 11 contenders for prototype contracts. SUAS News still counted the company's Teal Drones unit in the mix, but the fresh list cooled a rally that had just sent the stock to its highest point in a year last week. By mid-morning, shares had fallen roughly 4%—opening at $16.08, peaking at $16.78, and then sliding to $14.74. On Friday, they’d tagged $18.78, the stock’s highest mark in the last year. This turnaround is significant: Washington has stepped up buying low-cost, single-use attack drones—these are built to strike and not come back. Just last week, Reuters broke the news that the U.S. deployed a bargain attack drone in Iran, highlighting the rapid pace in the market Red Cat is targeting.
