On November 9, AeroVironment rose 5.16% in Regular Trading, trading at $119.25 per share, with turnover of $28.79 million.
The move coincided with renewed market focus on the company’s growth prospects in counter-UAS and directed-energy defense.
Recent developments provide context for that theme. In late October, Oppenheimer initiated coverage with an Outperform rating and a $205 price target, saying counter-unmanned aircraft systems could become the company’s best next leg of growth. Earlier, AeroVironment also announced a more than $50 million international order for its LOCUST laser weapon system and a $464.8 million U.S. Army contract tied to laser-based air defense against unmanned aircraft systems, reinforcing investor attention on its counter-drone platform exposure.
