  • Israeli Drone Weapons Maker UVision Plans $4 Billion Nasdaq IPO
    June 21, 2026, 4:41 AM EDT. Israeli defense firm UVision Air, controlled by Aaron Frankel, targets a $3.5 billion to $4 billion valuation in its planned Nasdaq initial public offering (IPO) set for July or August. The company, specializing in loitering munitions-suicide drones that locate and strike targets-aims to raise $500 million to $1 billion. After failing to secure pre-IPO institutional backing at a $2.9 billion valuation, Frankel decided to proceed directly with the IPO. JPMorgan leads the offering amid a recent downturn in defense stocks linked to easing U.S.-Iran tensions. UVision's IPO proceeds will partly repay shareholder loans, including loans from Frankel. Institutional investor meetings will begin in mid-July following prospectus publication, with the challenge of attracting investors at a higher valuation than earlier pre-IPO talks.
