Ondas Expands Drone Platform With Omnisys Acquisition, SkyWeaver Initiative, Oppenheimer Says

By

Ondas' (ONDS) recent acquisition of defense software company Omnisys will further increase its moat, with the company also developing an autonomous fighting platform called SkyWeaver with Palantir Technologies (PLTR), Oppenheimer said in a note on Thursday.

Oppenheimer said that these two developments could be stepping stones to a comprehensive swarm technology platform for the company, which it sees as the "holy grail" of autonomous systems.

Additionally, Oppenheimer reiterated its view that Ondas is a major pure-play drone winner with its first-mover advantage key to locking in government contracts and gaining share as Pentagon's proposed 2027 budget earmarks $75 billion for drones from $16 billion previously.

Oppenheimer has an outperform rating on the stock with a $16 price target.

Shares of Ondas rose nearly 18% in Thursday trading.
