New York, Feb 17, 2026, 07:15 EST — Premarket
- ONDS hovered near $9.31 ahead of the U.S. open
- A filing showed Hood River Capital’s stake at 4.71%, down below 5%
- Traders are watching for follow-through after last session’s sharp move
Ondas Inc shares hovered near $9.31 in premarket trading on Tuesday after an amended Schedule 13G filing showed investment adviser Hood River Capital Management held 4.71% of the company. (Ondas Inc.)
The stock last closed at $9.31, up 3.79%, with about 56.7 million shares traded, after U.S. markets were shut on Monday for the Presidents’ Day holiday. (Ondas Inc.)
That move followed a company announcement on Friday that its Airobotics unit won a new multi-million-dollar order from a major European customer in a NATO country for its Iron Drone Raider counter-UAS, or counter-drone, system. “The rise in hostile drone activity has reshaped security requirements for airports and urban critical infrastructure,” CEO Eric Brock said, while OAS co-chief executive Oshri Lugassy called for systems that are “autonomous” and “reusable.” (Ondas Inc.)
In another recent filing, Ondas said its compensation committee approved an equity award for Brock of restricted stock units — stock that vests over time — representing about 13.5 million shares, or roughly 3% of the shares currently outstanding.
A separate 8-K said the company filed a prospectus supplement that covers the resale of 528,652 shares by certain stockholders tied to an acquisition, a step that can add supply to the market even if shares are not immediately sold.
Earlier this month, Ondas disclosed that a company executive was quoted in connection with a definitive agreement to acquire UK-based Rotron Aerospace, a developer of unmanned aerial systems and long-range autonomous platforms.
Ondas sells autonomous aerial and ground systems alongside private wireless gear, putting it in a crowded field that runs from interceptor-drone makers to electronic-jamming and radar suppliers. Larger U.S. defense-technology names such as AeroVironment and Kratos Defense & Security also chase unmanned and counter-drone demand.
But orders can be lumpy, and civil-infrastructure deployments often move at the speed of regulators, budgets and testing cycles. Investors are also watching filings that expand the effective float, including stock awards and registered resale shares.
The company’s investor-relations calendar lists no scheduled upcoming events, leaving the tape to react to filings and contract updates. (Ondas Inc.)
The next date many traders have circled is the company’s next quarterly report, due March 18 according to Investing.com’s earnings calendar. (Investing)
