Ondas stock has wavered in the past few months, moving from last year\u2019s high of $15.30 to the current $7.6 mirroring the performance of other drone companies. ONDS was trading at $7.61, down by over 50% from its all-time high.<\/p>\n

This retreat has coincided with the ongoing performance of companies in the drone industry. AeroVironment stock has plunged by over 65% from its all-time high, while Kratos Defense & Securities (KTOS) is down by 64% from its peak. <\/p>\n

Other top companies like Red Cat Holdings, Unusual Machines, and Draganfly have all plunged. This plunge is happening even as demand for drones continue rising. <\/p>\n

Ondas Holdings growth is continuing<\/h2>\n

The most recent results showed that Ondas\u2019 growth was continuing. Its revenue jymped by 13% in the second quarter to $83 million, with its backlog hitting $757 million during the quarter. <\/p>\n

The management believes that the annual revenue will be between $525 million and $550 million this year, with the deal pipeline for the next two years expected at $11 billion. This growth will happen as the United States and other countries boost their investments in drones. <\/p>\n

The recent earnings growth happened under the Core + Growth program, which helped it to secure $175 million in new orders. At the same time, the management has executed some major acquisitions, including DZYNE Technologies and Cyberhawk, which helped to expand its technology and customer-solutions portfolio.<\/p>\n

These acquisitions are expected to help its business continue to grow. The average estimate among analysts is that its next quarter\u2019s revenue will come in at $148 million, up by 1,365% on an annual basis. For the year, the revenue is expected to soar by 957% to $536 million, followed by $1.01 billion next year.<\/p>\n

Analysts are bullish despite the rising short interest<\/h2>\n

Despite its strong revenue growth, investors are skeptical about its future, which explains why it has plunged in the past few months. A closer look at the numbers shows that the company has a short interest of 40%<\/a>, meaning that nearly half of its float is held short. <\/p>\n

The short interest has jumped because of its elevated losses, and the fact that the industry is getting highly competitive. Also, it has spent substantial sums of money on M&A and may need to raise capital. Its outstanding shares have jumped to 529 million from just 40 million in 2022.<\/p>\n

In a recent note, Timothy Horan, an Oppenheimer analyst, hiked the target from $16 to $18, while Needham\u2019s Austin Bohlig placed the target at $19. Northland Securities\u2019 Michael Latimore hiked the target from $16 to $18. Other bullish analysts arefrom HC Wainwright, Stifel, and Loop Capital.<\/p>\n

ONDS stock chart | Source: TradingView<\/em><\/p>\n

The daily chart shows that the ONDS stock has slipped in the past few months, moving from $14.10 in June to the current $7.60. It has dropped below the 50-day Exponential Moving Average (EMA) and the 50% Fibonacci Retracement level.<\/p>\n

The stock also slipped below the key resistance level of $9.97, its highest point on August 12. Therefore, these technicals suggest that the stock will continue falling, potentially to the next key support level of $6.22. A move below that level will point to more downside.<\/p>\n
