In the current market environment, names tied to artificial intelligence (AI) like Nvidia and Palantir might reign supreme when considering outsized alpha generators. However, one name they might not be familiar with is Ondas Holdings (ONDS).
ONDS' 725.5% surge fueled by its fast-growing OAS unit now faces valuation pressure and rising execution risks.
Ondas' major government tender win for a large autonomous border-defense drone program boosts its growth outlook and strengthens future revenue visibility.
Ondas bolsters its cash pile to accelerate defense and autonomous systems expansion and aggressive M&A, amid rising demand.
My bull case rests on Ondas Holdings hitting its aggressive revenue path: FY25 was guided at least $36M and FY26 at least $110M. That's a 3x growth story. Q3 showed momentum with $10.1M revenue (nearly 60% qoq and over 6x yoy), a $23.3M backlog, plus another $18M tied to acquisitions closing or pending in Q4. Despite the top-line momentum, Ondas remains unprofitable (operating loss widened to -$15.5M), has low gross margins of just 26%, and trades at extremely high valuation multiples.
Ondas Holdings' Q3 revenue hit $10.1M, up 580% YoY, with backlog reaching $23.3M and over $40M including acquisitions. Ondas' 2025 revenue guidance increased to $36M+, and 2026 is set at $110M without unannounced M&A. Ondas expanded into a full defense-autonomy platform with Iron Drone, Optimus, and Sentrycs integration.
Ondas' $35M push into PDW boosts autonomous defense capabilities, expands production and sets up stronger revenue momentum into 2025 and beyond.
Ondas (NASDAQ: ONDS), a tech firm focused on autonomous drone systems and private wireless connectivity solutions for the industrial and government sectors, rose by 25% on Tuesday and is currently trading at nearly $7 per share. The increase follows the company's announcement that it has finalized its acquisition of the Israeli counter-unmanned aerial systems (CUAS) company Sentrycs – a deal that was revealed earlier this month.
Ondas accelerates its multi-domain push with rapid acquisitions spanning robotics, optics, subsurface intelligence and counter-UAS tech.
Ondas enters Q4 2025 with surging backlog, rapid autonomous systems momentum and expanded reach through strategic acquisitions.
ONDS and DPRO show contrasting momentum as backlogs, compliance wins and military demand shape the drone sector's next leg.
ONDS posts a sixfold third-quarter revenue jump as OAS drives growth, backlog expands and defense partnerships deepen heading into 2025.
