Mar 18
AeroVironment's stock soared 5.05% during intraday trading on Tuesday, driven by two significant positive developments for the drone maker.
The company announced it has acquired Empirical Systems Aerospace, a producer of unmanned aircraft systems and advanced air mobility platforms, in a cash-and-stock deal valued at approximately $200 million. This strategic acquisition is expected to enhance AeroVironment's capabilities in the growing drone market.
Additionally, a Wall Street Journal report indicated that the Pentagon wants to mass produce attack drones that AeroVironment manufactures, specifically the types used in recent strikes. This news suggests potential for increased future defense contracts and revenue streams for the company.
