Military drone technology maker AeroVironment reported record, but messy, numbers on Tuesday evening. Its stock, which has been incredibly strong in 2025, fell 6% shortly after results were released.

For the fiscal second quarter ended Nov. 1, AeroVironment announced record sales of $472.5 million, up 151% year over year. That includes revenue for the recently acquired BlueHalo. Comparable sales were up an impressive 21% year over year.

Wall Street was looking for revenue of $469 million.

Sales beat estimates. Earnings per share didn't appear to exceed analyst estimates, but there was a bevy of charges related to the BlueHalo acquisition. Adjusted earnings per share were about 44 cents. Wall Street was looking for 78 cents. That's a miss. Still, analysts' new charges, such as amortization of acquisition-related intangibles, were coming. Unadjusted earnings per share were a loss of 34 cents, seven cents better than Street projections.

For the full year, AeroVironment expects revenue of between $1.95 and $2 billion and adjusted earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation, and amortization, or Ebitda, of between $300 and $320 million.

Wall Street projects revenue of $2 billion and Ebitda of $315 million.

Guidance is close to the Street, still, shares were lower after earnings. Aervironment stock was down 6% in after-hours trading. Shares dropped 0.4% in regular trading.

Profit-taking might be part of the reaction. AeroVironment's stock has been strong, boosted by growing demand for drone technology. Through Tuesday trading, shares were up 83% year to date.
