Ondas Holdings (ONDS) stock: Why shares jumped Friday and what traders are watching next

NEW YORK, January 3, 2026, 18:00 ET — Market closed

  • Ondas Holdings shares closed up 12.9% on Friday at $11.02, with heavy volume.
  • The company said it plans to change its name to Ondas Inc. and has moved its corporate headquarters to West Palm Beach, Florida.
  • A separate filing showed a subsidiary extended note maturities to Jan. 15, while a director filed a Form 144 tied to a proposed share sale.

Ondas Holdings Inc. shares closed up 12.9% on Friday at $11.02, as investors digested a cluster of corporate updates and filings. Trading volume topped 136 million shares, according to Nasdaq data. ( Nasdaq historical data)

The move matters now because Ondas is reshaping its public-company profile at the same time its financing timeline is back in focus. The company operates in defense, security and industrial markets through autonomous systems and private wireless networking, and the latest disclosures give traders fresh signposts to track into January.

Friday’s advance left the stock near its 52-week high of $11.70, after trading between $9.91 and $11.06 in the session, according to Nasdaq and Yahoo Finance quote data. That kind of range is typical of a high-volatility small-cap name, and it can amplify moves around filings. ( Nasdaq quote page)

Ondas said it plans to change its corporate name to Ondas Inc., and that the name change is expected to take effect in the first quarter of 2026. The company also said it has relocated its corporate headquarters to West Palm Beach, Florida, and that the changes are not expected to disrupt operations or customer programs. (Press release)

“Renaming the Company to Ondas Inc. will better align our corporate identity with the operating platform we have built,” Eric Brock, chairman and CEO, said in the statement. ( SEC filing)

In the same release, Ondas said the relocation is intended to improve access to senior talent, strategic partners and institutional capital, while positioning the business in what it called an expanding defense and technology ecosystem in Florida. The company’s prior corporate address had been in Boston, according to the filing. ( SEC filing)

Separately, a current report filed Friday said Ondas Networks Inc., a subsidiary, signed a letter agreement amending the maturity date of certain notes to Jan. 15, 2026. The filing listed financings totaling about $8.0 million across multiple notes. (SEC filing)

A Form 144 filed Friday showed director Ron Stern disclosed a proposed sale of up to 100,000 shares. A Form 144 is a notice filed under SEC Rule 144, which sets conditions for selling restricted or “control” shares; it does not guarantee a sale will occur. (Form 144)

Another filing, a Form 3, showed Robert Patrick Huston, listed as COO, general counsel and secretary, reported 100,000 restricted stock units and 100,000 stock options, among other items. Form 3 is an initial beneficial-ownership disclosure for certain insiders. (SEC Form 3)

Before the next session, investors will be watching for any follow-through on the note maturity extension as Jan. 15 approaches, including any refinancing or restructuring steps disclosed in additional filings. The company has not laid out a detailed timeline beyond the January maturity date in the filing. (SEC filing)

Traders will also look for the next earnings-date confirmation. Ondas’ investor-relations calendar currently shows no upcoming events scheduled, leaving the next catalyst dependent on company updates or third-party calendar estimates. ( IR calendar)

Technically, the stock is pressing its 52-week high near $11.70; a break above that level would put the focus on whether volume can stay elevated. On the downside, traders often watch the prior close around $9.76 and Friday’s intraday low near $9.91 as nearby reference points after a sharp single-day move. ( Nasdaq quote page)

  • CarTrade Tech stock up 16% in 3 months as earnings growth contrasts with ROE
    January 4, 2026, 8:48 PM EST. CarTrade Tech's stock has risen about 16% over the past three months. The review centers on ROE (return on equity), which was 8.3% for the trailing twelve months to September 2025, below the industry average of roughly 12%. Net income has grown 58% over five years, while earnings growth has outpaced the sector's 31% average. The contrast suggests other drivers behind the rally, such as strategic decisions or a lower payout ratio. Analysts note that a higher ROE and retained earnings typically boost growth, but the current move may not reflect only efficiency. The key question for investors is whether the stock's price already discounts expected earnings, or if further gains hinge on stronger fundamentals.
