-- 摩根士丹利周四发布的一份报告指出，Axon Enterprise (AXON) 第一季度的业绩，尤其是订单量，进一步巩固了其持续增长超过 30% 的前景。 摩根士丹利分析师表示，该公司再次取得了强劲的季度业绩，营收增长 34%，连续第九个季度实现 30% 以上的增长。他们指出，订单量大幅超出预期，增长 44%，这主要得益于人工智能领域的发展。 分析师指出，Axon 的增长遍及多个业务板块，其中 Dedrone 无人机订单量同比增长 500%，国际销售额翻了一番，企业级业务增长 50%。 报告称，近期业绩支持了摩根士丹利的观点，即随着 Axon 的平台从美国州和地方执法部门的核心业务拓展到全球市场、联邦机构、企业、无人机技术和 911 系统等新领域，该公司能够继续保持高速增长。 摩根士丹利维持对该公司股票的增持评级，并将目标价从 675 美元下调至 600 美元。
