During the June 30, 2026, World Cup round of 32 match between France and Sweden at the 82,500-capacity MetLife Stadium, the logistical scale of a global mega-event was on full display.

Ondas Holdings remains a risk-aware Buy as revenue targets and backlog have surged, while valuation multiples have compressed significantly since February. ONDS's 2026 revenue target has jumped to ~$390m, backlog is ~$457m, and gross margins are holding near 50% despite rapid scaling and integration. Share dilution concerns are mitigated by revenue growth outpacing issuance; consensus revenue estimates for 2027 and 2028 are increasingly credible.
Ondas upgraded from Hold to Buy, reflecting its leadership in the rapidly expanding military drone sector. ONDS is positioned to benefit from multi-year tailwinds as the global military drone market is projected to nearly double by 2033.
