0058 GMT - Electro Optic Systems' latest order is a defining moment for the defense equipment maker and the commercialization of High Energy Laser technology on the battlefield, Ord Minnett says. EOS today said it has secured a A$125 million order to supply a 100-kilowatt High Energy Laser Weapon to a European NATO member state. The HELW aims to defend against drones and drone swam attacks. "The groundbreaking contract win not only improves EOS's credentials globally as a supplier of High Energy Laser technology but also raises our conviction in the company converting the A$1.3 billion-A$1.5 billion opportunity pipeline into contracted revenue," analyst John Lawlor says. EOS shares surge 30% to A$3.84 on the contract news, having touched a record-high A$4.04 earlier in the session. (david.winning@wsj.com; @dwinningWSJ)
