New York, Jan 9, 2026, 05:32 EST — Premarket
- ONDS up 4.6% in premarket trade; the stock jumped about 15% in Thursday’s session
- SEC filing set up resale of 1.67 million shares tied to the Sentry CS acquisition
- A director also filed a notice to sell up to 300,000 shares; investors eye Jan. 14 and Jan. 16 events
Ondas Holdings Inc (ONDS) shares rose 4.6% to $14.66 in premarket trading on Friday, extending a sharp run after fresh SEC paperwork set up a resale of stock tied to its Sentry CS acquisition. The stock closed Thursday at $14.01.
The filing matters because it can put more shares into circulation without bringing new cash to the company, a headwind when a small-cap stock is already moving fast. Ondas has leaned on stock issuance to pay for deals, and investors are parsing how much paper could hit the market next.
In a Form 8-K, Ondas said it filed a prospectus supplement — a short add-on to a registration statement — to let certain stockholders resell 1,671,899 shares from time to time. The company said those holders got the shares as part of its purchase of Israel-based Sentry CS, and that the share issuance was exempt from registration under Regulation S and Regulation D.
The prospectus said Ondas acquired 100% of Sentry after signing a purchase agreement in November, paying $117.5 million in cash and issuing 4.10 million shares at closing, then paying another $2.5 million in cash and issuing the 1.67 million shares on the second payment date. Ondas will not receive proceeds from any resale, it said, and sellers face daily volume limits capped at 10% of the stock’s average daily volume over the prior 10 sessions. The deal also calls for two more cash installments and stock consideration valued at $22.5 million on each of those dates — 60 and 120 days after the Nov. 17 closing — unless Ondas elects to pay cash instead, the filing showed.
A separate Form 144 notice, which can precede insider sales under Rule 144, showed director Ron Stern proposed selling up to 300,000 shares through Morgan Stanley Smith Barney. The filing put the stock’s aggregate market value at about $4.26 million and said Stern acquired the shares through an option exercise on Jan. 8.
Ondas said CEO Eric Brock will take part in a fireside chat at the Needham Growth Conference on Jan. 14 and hold one-on-one meetings with institutions during the event. Its investor relations calendar lists an Investor Day on Jan. 16. Ondas markets autonomous drone and ground robotics systems through its Ondas Autonomous Systems unit and private wireless gear through Ondas Networks, the company said.
But the resale registration and insider notice underline the risk that supply shows up just as momentum cools. Even with volume limits, more stock for sale can make rallies harder to hold, and the next acquisition-payment steps sit close on the calendar.
Investors will look for what Brock says at Needham on Jan. 14, then for management’s next set of slides on Jan. 16 — and for any new filings that pin down how Ondas plans to settle the remaining Sentry consideration.
