New York, Feb 24, 2026, 06:09 EST — Premarket
- Ondas shares slipped in early premarket action before the U.S. market opened on Tuesday.
- This week’s major industry event has traders watching the company’s counter-drone moves in Europe closely.
- February brought volatile swings for the stock, with trading volumes running high.
Ondas Inc dipped 0.7% to $10.12 in early premarket action Tuesday, as of 6:00 a.m. EST. Shares had finished Monday at $10.19. 1
Traders are zeroing in on whether Ondas can parlay its string of February news into more orders, particularly in Europe, where police and defense agencies are ramping up anti-drone buys. Shares listed on the Nasdaq climbed 1.6% Monday, bouncing between $9.86 and $10.57 as around 69 million shares traded. On Feb. 20, the stock tumbled almost 12% with volume topping 111 million. Over the last 52 weeks, it’s ranged from $0.57 to $15.28. 2
Enforce Tac, the invitation-only security and defense expo in Nuremberg, is scheduled for Feb. 23-25, putting its dates in direct overlap. 3
Ondas announced on Feb. 17 that its Sentrycs division has delivered counter-drone equipment to a German state police agency, with plans to introduce its portable “Scout” system at the event. “Lawful, precise drone mitigation”—that’s how Sentrycs CEO Tal Cohen described the significance of the deployment. According to the company, Scout relies on protocol manipulation—what it calls “cyber over RF”—and actually takes over the drone’s link, rather than jamming it. 4
Ondas, via its Ondas Networks and Ondas Autonomous Systems divisions, offers private wireless tech and drone data services, LSEG data shows. Its autonomous lineup features the Optimus System as well as the Iron Drone Raider. Networks handles FullMAX, the company’s software-defined radio platform. For 2024, the company reported revenue around $7.2 million and a net loss nearing $38 million. 5
Competition is fierce in the counter-drone sector, where players span major defense contractors and niche providers. In 2024, Axon scooped up Dedrone, a firm focused on drone defense, pushing further into law enforcement tech. 6
Still, contracts often come in fits and starts, dependent on how budgets shake out, and not every flashy show-floor demo leads to an actual order. Early premarket gains have a way of evaporating quickly, especially when trading is thin and bid-ask spreads stretch.
Eyes turn to Enforce Tac for possible news before it ends Feb. 25, while traders are also watching for Ondas to set a new earnings date. Right now, the investor relations site shows zero scheduled events. 7
