Ondas Inc. NASDAQ:ONDS dropped 1.2% to $6.57 in premarket trade as of 07:59 EDT. The stock was trading 16% under its July 6 closing price. Regular trading on Nasdaq was still shut.
Investors face a short-term concern over possible share supply. Ondas registered 40 million DZYNE deal shares for resale on July 6.
The block represents 7.5% of the outstanding shares after the July 2 issue. Sellers are restricted to their proportional share of 10% of average daily trading volume.
Between July 7 and Thursday, Ondas saw 726.5 million shares traded. The authorized resale capacity in theory surpassed the full volume. However, registration documents do not specify total shares actually sold.
| Supply measure | Amount | Investor comparison |
|---|---|---|
| Immediate registered shares | 40.0 million | 7.5% of shares outstanding after the July 2 issue |
| 65-day average trading volume | 73.0 million | 10% amounts to roughly 7.3 million shares |
| Sessions to clear block | 5.5 | At the maximum allowed rate |
| July 7-16 volume traded | 726.5 million | 10% is 72.6 million, surpassing the block |
| Shares expected by January 4, 2027 | 45.0 million | 8.5% of shares post-July 2 issue |
Initial estimate. The 10% numbers are based on the assumption that every seller utilizes their entire pro-rata daily limit. These figures reflect allowed capacity rather than actual sales reported.
The arrangement resulted in a quantifiable supply risk, but did not demonstrate that sellers were responsible for the drop.
Management highlights operating growth, driven by anticipated revenue and margins from DZYNE. Chief Executive Eric Brock stated, “DZYNE is EBITDA positive with a strong and growing margin profile.” SEC
The company projects DZYNE to contribute $191 million in revenue in 2026. Ondas has increased its 2026 revenue target to a minimum of $525 million.
The figures reflect company projections rather than actual results. The updated target now factors in Omnisys, which was acquired in May.
For the week ending July 10, the stock dropped 2.0% from its July 2 close. Shares declined by a further 8.4% through Thursday.
Shares of smaller drone companies dropped in the past five sessions. Red Cat Holdings NASDAQ:RCAT declined 16.5%. Unusual Machines (NYSEAMERICAN:UMAC) slipped 19.7%. AeroVironment NASDAQ:AVAV edged up 0.6%.
Broad sector pressure is evident in peer moves. The registered block continues to pose an Ondas-specific supply risk.
Overall risk appetite remained weak. Nasdaq 100 futures were down 1.55% as of 07:07 EDT.
Ondas does not have an investor event planned for next week. On Thursday, Sentrycs partner Lockheed Martin NYSE:LMT will announce second-quarter earnings. Its forecast could influence trading in the defense sector.
Risks are still elevated. The documents do not reveal if sellers have exited positions. An additional 45 million shares are set for release on January 4. Comprehensive DZYNE financials will be provided in a forthcoming amendment.
