NEW YORK, December 29, 2025, 02:26 ET — Market closed
- Ondas Holdings closed down 7.12% at $8.48 on Friday, with about 49.16 million shares traded.
- Recent SEC filings detailed insider share sales tied to stock-unit vesting and tax withholding, and a separate notice of a proposed sale by a director.
- Investors are watching for updates on a Middle East border-protection tender the company has said could start with an initial purchase order in January 2026.
Ondas Holdings shares ended down 7.12% at $8.48 in the latest session on Friday, a sharp pullback in a stock that has swung widely in December.
The move matters because traders have been parsing a burst of insider-transaction disclosures alongside Ondas’ push to bundle drones, ground robots and counter-drone systems, areas that can drive abrupt sentiment shifts in smaller stocks.
With U.S. markets set to reopen into a week packed with economic data and Treasury bill auctions, investors are also watching whether risk appetite holds up for volatile names into year-end.
Ondas traded between $8.43 and $9.17 on Friday, with volume of about 49.16 million shares, according to Investing.com.
The company has not posted any new press releases on its investor relations site since Dec. 18.
A Form 4 filing showed director Jaspreet Sood received common shares when restricted stock units vested on Dec. 22 and disposed of 29,698 shares at $9.48 per share. The filing said the shares were sold by the company to fund tax liability tied to the vesting.
A related Form 144 notice described the sales as automatic to cover tax withholding obligations and not a discretionary trade. Form 144 is a notice used by insiders to flag an intended sale under SEC resale rules.
Separately, a Form 144 filed on Dec. 19 by director Ron Stern disclosed a proposed sale of up to 750,000 shares, with an aggregate market value of about $6.77 million, the filing showed.
Ondas markets autonomous aerial and ground robotics through its Ondas Autonomous Systems unit and also sells private wireless network gear through Ondas Networks, the company said.
Earlier this month, Ondas said its Ondas Autonomous Systems business completed the acquisition of Roboteam, which it described as focused on ground robotics, software and counter-drone technology.
Ondas also said it was selected as prime contractor for a “strategic border protection” tender in the Middle East and that it anticipated an initial purchase order in January 2026. Ondas Holdings Inc.
The company last week named Brigadier General Patrick Huston (ret.) as chief operating officer, a new role, and chief executive Eric Brock said: “His depth of experience in military operations, procurement, governance, and emerging technologies provides valuable perspective.” Ondas Holdings Inc.
Other drone-linked names such as Red Cat Holdings and AeroVironment also ended lower in the latest session on Friday, based on market data.
Before the next session, traders will watch whether Ondas holds above Friday’s $8.43 low and whether it can recover back toward the $9.17 intraday high, levels that marked the day’s range.
On Monday, investors will get the National Association of Realtors’ pending home sales report at 10 a.m. ET, and the Dallas Fed’s Texas Manufacturing Outlook Survey is due the same day.
The U.S. Treasury is also scheduled to auction 13-week and 26-week bills on Monday, an event that can move short-dated yields and set the tone for broader risk trading.
Ondas’ IR calendar lists no upcoming events, leaving investors looking for fresh updates on contract milestones, integration of Roboteam and any additional insider or financing disclosures.
